The cat's (or femhroth in this case) outta the bag

I like how she looks personally. I think this would get people to play it more than a full furry for sure.

Makes me think of a Sphynx. (Hairless cat)

But then why not play as Miqo'te or Viera (with werewolf ears if you want to be tall) at that point?

Edit: can't believe I'm bringing back old arguments I used against the addition of Viera for a race that should be the beast race...

Juuuust gonna say, I've never been a fan of the "just use <bunny, cat, werewolf> ears to feel like <whatever race>" argument. While most races are built on a standard humanoid form, they do each bring their own distinct feel/personality to the game through their emotes, idle stances, voice options, etc.

I personally like the look of the picture I posted earlier and I don't mind the picture from the book, but then I've also really liked some of the art posted with a more beastly style. I'm sure SE is trying to find the line to walk between ensuring femhroth fits their male counterpart while also designing something that players will want to fantasia to. For better or worse, the more humanoid/'good looking' a female race is, the more popular they will be.

The art is too low detail to call it.
The head-torso proportion leans in the direction of elezen and roegadyn, but the head itself seems to be wider than either of those, making it look cuter.
Until we get a full model sheet or screenshot, this isn't a confirmation of anything major beyond them having actual hair lmao

As grateful as I am for the race being in the game... I can't help but wonder what could have been.

Lore book dropped. Concept art for Gunnhildr was included.

Please don't tell me this is your cheeky way of teasing how female hrothgars will look. Nearly all the races ingame are the same design wise, why start here? It's just a miqote with blue skin and a cleft lip. Please don't fall for the whole "beauty and the beast" design. I get that maybe you're trying to get around the current malehroth hat/hair situation but sacrificing the design consistency of a race is only going to come back to bite you in your rear.
If a bunch of raiders using banned addons to ruin Astrologian then maybe there'll be enough support here to ensure femhroths are consistent with the overall hrothgar design.

There is always a chance that its just an early concept art.

I just don’t think they’ll be played as much if they are big burly women as we see from stats of other races compared to if they look like the concept.

[Kaliesto]

Don't get why they couldn't be inspired by the ones in FFX, but whatever its their call.

Betting Marketing Team meddled in this.

Just you wait, femhroths will come out looking like Belladonna from Trials of Mana...
