I think the truth is that it is fun to contemplate and share our opinions/desires on the matter, especially on such a controversial and hyped topic as the Viera. It certainly beats sitting around nervously while waiting for the next fan-fest. It is almost cathartic.

My personal preferences tends to align closer to myself in terms of both self-inserts and what I find attractive on both genders. So yeah, short, thin, and youthful would be closest...

Now "beautiful" is a word I've seen used a few times and would probably be a better descriptor for what I realistically hope for out of Viera than just any actual specific type or structure. We are discussing a lot on bodies, but the true deal-breaker would depend on all features. Body, face, hairs, animations, etc. If it all comes together to resemble something that is youthful, beautiful, and graceful... Ya know kinda like how the female Viera seem to be. Male miqo'te can be cute and youthful, but their animations aren't very graceful. Elezen have some graceful poses and animations(like their unique sits, poses, and bow animations), but some of their other animations are a bit klinky and they aren't very youthful. I play both of these races and sometimes I wish I could just mix and match features. XD
