Cetra Restoration Yuffie

jessara40k_ljI recently realised a few things about Yuffie under the Cetra, and since I don't think I'll be writing about her any time soon I thought I'd share with you all.
First, her mother is an uncaste Cetra, she would have been warrior caste if she'd been born later, whih was a big part of the reason Godo was allowed to continue ruling Wutai. But Yuffie and all her siblings so far are human.
There are two main factions who aren't entirely happy with Yuffie as the next ruler of Wutai; the traditionalist noble clans, and the Cetra supremacists.
The traditional noble clans wanted Yuffie married off to one of them (preferably one of the widowed clan heads or the heir) and carrying children, sons more than daughters, by the time she was fifteen. Notably not one of the husbands proposed for her was under thirty at the time, and the widowed clan heads were usually fifty or older. Now that she has a brother they're trying to pressure Godo to disinherit Yuffie and her three younger sisters in favour of the boy - ignoring the fact that legally he cannot do so. So far none of them have realised that they need to either convince Yuffie to abdicate her claim of her own accord - and convince her sisters to do the same - or get Cloud to declare that Yuffie's newborn brother is Godo's heir.
The more extreme of the Cetra supremacists have been trying to frame Godo and his family for crimes severe enough to remove the whole family from power, unsuccessfully so far. However if Yuffie's mother ever did give birth to a warrior caste Cetra they'd join the more moderate of the supremacists in trying to persuade Cloud to declare that the Cetra child would be Godo's heir, with Yuffie inheriting only after any Cetra siblings.
The more moderate Cetra supremacists have a different plan, and actually got Godo's partial cooperation with it. Currently they're trawling every unattached commoner or low noble healer caste Cetra male with any fighting ability that they can in Yuffie's vicinity, on the basis that if she marries a healer caste Cetra her children are more likely to be Cetra. Godo has told Yuffie that she must choose a husband by the time she's twenty-five, or he'll choose one for her, and he agrees with the Cetra noble who suggested it might be a good move for Yuffie to have a Cetra husband. He however would prefer a warrior caste noble, rather than a healer caste, as a warrior caste would fit better with Wutai's culture.

I cannot see Yuffie marrying a healer. I am not sure they could keep up with her.
The Cetra supremacists want Yuffie to marry a healer caste Cetra - not necessarily one who actively works as a healer - because that type of pairing has better odds of producing Cetra children than with a warrior caste. One of the healer caste who has a strong interest in martial arts would probably be able to keep up with her and be a steadying influence IMO.
