What we are looking for here are slim body types like alphy.

You are right fantasy does use a internal system that makes sense for their lore.. however in FINAL FANTASY PIPIN can weild a greatsword into battle and win. If that is the case I can be a cute/beautiful/handsome thin viera and still be a protector of the forest.

and while there are biological sex differences the view of how masculinity plays out is different culturally and changes through time.
i mean, how skinny do you want them? With how the Viera males are being portrayed if you're looking for something that's 'skinnier' than a elezen then doubtful. If you mean something like 'Omega M' which to me didn't look skinny at all, he seems rather 'toned' - but you can have a muscular/lithe toned individual.

Do you want something like WoL 'moebius' 'lithe' - which is similar to male hyur - or are we skirting towards the dangerously slim? Which is possible, but I imagine the male Viera would have a vast 'muscular scale' due to how the lore has them.
