    If we are getting male viera, and the male viera are the variant that look like "young elezen", then I think the height difference and build will look like this

    It's possible that viera is gender locked, and that this variant is a female viera that looks like a young elezen.

    It's going to be a lot more drastic than that.
    If by "young Elezen" they're referring to the child characters (i.e. Rielle) then this supposed second Viera variant will be tiny. As in about half/three quarters the size of the other.

    Let's just assume that both characters in this image are the average height their respective races.
    Fran is slightly taller than an Elezen.
    Now let's compare the height of a young Elezen with an adult Elezen.
    (Lala for scale)

    These buns will be absolutely dinky.

I'm guessing the "who" would be Alphinaud, who is a young elezen. I think we're lacking a short and slim body type for males. Miqo'te still has muscle to them, and although elezen is tall, they aren't short. I think a body type like Alphinaud's would be good.

    While I can imagine them being smaller than the females in height, to be the same size as elezen - not child elezen, I can't imagine them being 'cute' nor dainty looking. Specifically, because Yoshida really dislikes the idea of them being cute. He wanted them to be more beast and fierce looking. Otherwise, if they're 'cute' I think his words were along the lines that they'd just look like miqote but with bunny ears and not a tail.

    I don't know. All I'm 100 percent of is that he's really against the idea of the males being anything that could be considered 'adorable' and 'cute' looking - at least without the creator of the toon going out of their way to specifically make them look like that through nice arduous work with the character creator. Meaning that 'cute' wouldn't exactly be the primary look for the face, and skinny and small would be the extremes of the slider.

    I think there's some middle ground between "hulking beast virtually unrelated in design to the females" and "little teeny chibi boye" where a good design lies.
