This is just a natural reaction.
What you are looking at is how the Elezens ears catches and store the warmth of the sun (or other heat sources) during days, which the body can later use during cold nights.
It's also useful to help the body digest food faster.

My main complaint is the eyes. It's either the eyelashes that have gone overboard, or eye colors go way too dark at the top half. Either way it makes the pupils indistinct and even from a short distance makes eyes look half closed and lidded, which impacts the character's neutral expression a lot. Coupled with the way eyebrow 6 seems angled downward a little more, and my friendly, non-judgmental Elezen (who I've been with for 10 years) now looks decidedly less friendly...

I really dislike how the changes have made the "feel" of a character massively different. Especially for those of us who have been with our characters for years, I've had mine for 6 years, not as long as you have but still...

As with other races, her lashes are basically invisible at more than 20cm distance which drastically alters the look of the eyes. That is a genuine issue because they can't be restored. Everything else looks about right.
