They’re not just small, they’re not full adults yet (I think they’re about 16 or 17?) and all player characters are adults.

That being said though, there’s no way those two are going to look like any of the PC models when they age (if we ever get to see it lol). They seem a lot more delicate and lithe than the Elezen we can play, and I’d like to see an adult version of their model added to character creation someday, maybe as another tribe or something. They don’t look like they’re going to evolve super long necks or broad shoulders, and their facial structure is a lot different than PC Elezens.

It’s telling that most people who cosplay Alisaie tend to use a Hyur character, because that looks closer to her than the actual Elezen! An adult version of Alisaie, or even a Half-Elezen like Hilda would be something I’d really enjoy playing.
