Do people see lalafells as children?

[Leowilde]

I don't get the whole "lalas = children" debate. They talk like adults, their voices are most definetly adult. Some of them sport moustaches. They ARE adults. My mind is not so muddled I can't see past a small stature. Do you guys feel this way about people with dwarfism IRL as well?

This guy gets it. Appearances aren't everything.

Plus they are just more youthful than say an elf who could live for hundreds of years. They'll never be taller just like elves never really age visually.

Lalafell's look cute and small but I consider them adults. Short Adults. Pretty sure lala's can carry themselves in a more adult way than Miqote.

Except people with any sort of dwarfism usually don't look perpetually child-like, especially in regard to facial features and lack of more prominent gender-defining physical features. Lalafells also have it taken a step further by having facial features such as bigger eyes and smaller, "button-like" noses set on one of the biggest head types of any race that increase any sort of "cute" appeal that are more associated with features found with babies and were the same sort of facial features used to sell teddy bears.

That feels like less of a shot at Mi'qote than it is at most Mi'qote players. If so, then +1 from me.

Also for aging, Elezen do age, it just takes centuries. Last I checked, Lalafell stop visibly aging (and growing) at like 10 years old.

According to the Lore book, Elezen only live about 50% longer than other races, IF that much.
An old Hyur will be in his 70-80's, an old elezen will probably break a century. They're not your typical fantasy elves, no normal person lives like Elrond.

I agree.
Have fun calling a Midget/Drawf a child in real life.
They would probably wreck you lol.
They look like anime Chibi's!

Indeed. They are chibi-like adults. Seeing them as children seems weird to me since they clearly are not.

They look like children to me, not dwarves, children. Aside from the occasional moustache they have very childlike faces and childlike physical attributes.

Tataru Taru, Krile, and Papalymo are the characters that remind me that Lalafell are definitely not children, even though they appear like so.

Tataru Taru is a young woman in every sense of the word. She's smart, tactful, charming, and caring.

Krile is a scholar through and through. Her vast knowledge betrays her otherwise diminutive, child-like appearance.

And then there's Papalymo. Papalymo was something of a father figure to Yda, and his wisdom and patience helped temper Yda's rage and passion.

I play in English, so when I hear their voice actors, they definitely do not sound like children.

Krile and Tataru both sound like young women, and Papalymo has the voice of a scholarly, yet somewhat haughty, gentleman.

It depends on what they're wearing. Or if he has facial hair.
