Steps:
Detailed steps on how the issue occurred.

• Log in-game with a Au Ra female character wielding a staff (CJR or WHM);
• Press "P" to open the Action & Traits Window;
• Left-Click "Main Commands";
• Right-Click over the "Stance" command.

The character should adopt a combat stance indefinitely, holding her staff out in front of her

• Open the "Social" menu down the lower-right of the screen, and select "Emotes";
• Select the "Persistent" tab;
• Right-click "Change Pose".

Observe that the character soon lowers the staff to hold it horizontally with a smile expression. Pay close attention to the character's eyes.
During the animation cycle, the character's eyes will gradually open wider, and jarringly return to the default smiling expression.
