Your what?

So, going off the likely line of thinking that Lalafells grow to full-size comparatively early next to other races...

Imagine the suffering being a popoto-bachelour (or even just another race with a thing for Lalas). Is that guy or girl you want to hit on of-age? Are they 20, or 10? No way of knowing!
There should be a full cultural analysis of this phenomenon. Like, is there some way that their culture has adapted to distinguish? Particular styles of dress between age groups? Make-up? Minutely noticeable details in facial structure, posture or body language?

You could write a whole new Lorebook on this stuff.

So? FFXI had Tarutaru children and they were tiny! You could even get food that would 'costume' you into looking like a Tarutaru child (as well as Galka, Hume and Elvaan. To be a Mithra kitten, you needed a wand).

No way of knowing? Now wait, being close to full height only affects that, what about ear shape/size? Or the eyes? There could be many subtle physical indicators of age that members of other races are essentially unaware of.

you don't pluck lalas from the ground till they reach maturity.

that lalafell child was the smallest height possible for a lalafell. since almost everyone puts the height slider for their lalafell at the whole minimum at character creation that child will logically be the same height as you.

and that means: you all are actual playing a lalafell child o.o/

if you want to play adult lalafell: put the height slider higher.

I don't know why every time I see a LaLa I am reminded of this movie.
