    Tbh tall Female Au'Ra would just look weird, you'd have to more significantly change their builds.
    Their designs lean into cute more heavily than just height and it'd be the same with making short Male Au'Ra their builds and proportions are designed to emphasize them being tall.

    That's what the original design for female Au Ra seems to have been. Their early concept art looked a lot fiercer and also more demonic.

    You can actually see the more cutsey ones in the middle.
    I think people should be a bit careful about pulling up concept art and talking about supposed '' original designs '' tho.

    Concept art exists to play around with ideas too, it's like people saying that Ashe in Overwatch was supposed to be black because she was in one of the concepts and that they '' changed her to be white ''.
    The truth is that it was simply on the table as one possibility and you can see that the cute Au'Ra that we got were even in those drawings ( and I am like 99% sure that these weren't the only ones ).

    On a personal level I actually would've prefered the ones in the upper right corner, they remind me a lot of the Succubus and look pretty Gothic.
    I like the idea of fully scaled arms too.
