Yeah, there's something there, hopefully MSQ and not allied society related.

At most I was able to deduce that both Shepetto and Koana have purple eyes, though not the same shade of purple. Also, he's height 0 tail 0 (like G'raha) rather than being a new body type, so the illusion of youth is the result of making his head slightly larger than normal, which also makes him slightly taller than my height 4 WoL.

Regarding the character customisations

I haven't done a direct comparison on heights, but the hairstyle Shepetto uses is the same style (and same face) I use for my character Zi'aba and it is very fluffed up around the back of the head, and I've thought before that it makes his head look bigger than it actually is. It works well for shorter characters since they just end up smaller overall, so making the head look bigger balances them out a bit.

I need to play around with it, but I suspect the actual customisation they've done is just removing the thick eyeliner that has been added to face 3 during the character redesigns, which on the standard faces (and G'raha) is covering up that they've moved changed the shape of the eyelid a lot. At one point while discussing the character changes at the benchmark stage I had experimentally photoshopped a version of Zi'aba with the eyeliner erased back to skin colour, and it ended up looking not unlike Shepetto's face.

I'm generally not happy with the alterations to male Miqo'te faces – not just my own two characters but a lot of NPCs just have an off look about them.
