To whoever designed the new NPC Lilja

This has made me notice something awkward about Viera though, the skin colour in her ears doesn’t match the rest of her skin at all. It looks weird, the inner part should be dark too, rather than a light pink colour.

Hmm yeah, that's odd - particularly since Miqo'te ears do change to match skin colour.

I wonder if it's something to do with how the ears are implemented? A while back someone had posted some images of a Miqo'te model with no hairstyle applied, and the inner ears are part of the body model, so they'd be responding to the same skin colour setting. But Viera ears are a separate piece with a choice of shapes so maybe it doesn't work the same... although it would be equivalent to Elezen/Lalafell ears and those are fine. Perhaps it's an oversight because they're not connected to the body in the same way (you're not seeing the pale skin directly next to dark) and nobody thought to look at it.

So...She's probably a Garlean spy, right? >w>

The nails were especially a nice touch.

*Laughs*... I thought I was one of the few who immediately caught on about Lilja-- I was literally smiling at my screen and the Devs got her speech, appearance + mannerisms spot on!

Brilliant new NPC and I really hope to see more of her in future patches

Please give us more Lilja, because she is awesome.

Yup, 100%. But shhh, it's an absolutely not obvious secret.

Go away, she's clearly MY fan.

She's not wearing proper Ironworks uniform either! Glasses instead of goggles, no gloves, wrong boots...

Maybe Cid thinks Jessie hired her and Jessie thinks Cid hired her.

Quite seriously, I thought it was a bit odd that she introduces herself by name, but is just labelled "Ironworks Engineer". Maybe it's just because we haven't met her before and it made more sense as a "next objective" instruction to talk to the engineer rather than an unfamiliar name, but I can't remember if/how they've handle similar things previously. Can they swap out the NPC/name or not until the next time we see her?

Now that people bring it up, I feel a little silly for not finding her suspicious sooner.

She does kinda give off that "Spy in plain sight" vibe between the eccentric get-up, being a foreigner, and being a WoL fangirl.
