My character's height is set to 8. It's one cm more than the minimum. She is 147 cm tall (or small ^^), so she's even smaller than me. Most other female Au Ra I see are taller, only sometimes I see one that's small as well.

I also have a male Au Ra and he is just a little below average height. Most other male Au Ra players or NPCs are taller than him though, so he seems small compared to others even though he is about 209 cm or so.

My Viera alt is of minimum height (178 cm? Not sure). I like small female characters, and even at minimum height she is really tall.

Maybe it's because I'm small in real-life as well. Most women that whine because they are so tiny are like 160-170 cm, and here I am at about 152 cm, or 5 ft.
