Fem Miqo'te face 2, with eyebrows 2, is now too angry.

I am sorry if this is in the wrong section, i'm unsure where else to put it.

Generally i'm really happy with the update, but one thing that bothers me probably way more than it should is how strong the difference is between the eyebrows before and now.

> Here's a picture, sorry for the resolution, but hope it gets across enough. If not i can try to find a better first one.

The eyebrows are now slightly shorter, a straighter line, thinner and with higher contrast and angled too high up, whereas before they were kind of "sitting above the eye" throughout and fading out at the back end.
I realize for some people that's nothing to even mention, but it changes the whole vibe too much for what i wanted my cat to be.
Basically, i always imagined my cat being a silly goofball thinking about chicken nuggets all day. Now it feels like she's thinking about how to most effectively annihilate the chickens to make said nuggets.

I'm genuinely sad about that. Which i know is really silly, but the whole vibe of the character is suddenly off too much for me to be happy with it. I tried other combinations, even tried other eyes, but nothing fits and literally all the eyebrows are now like this. They all make at least miqos face 2 look angry.

I apologize again for maybe putting this somewhere it doesn't belong, i'll happily post it somewhere else if there's a better place for it.

ALL eyebrows for face 1 on Moon keeper now look angy. :-(
That's now who she is.

more determined and neutral, as opposed to angry imo

It's such a sudden change in tone, makes me sad

That's how i try to see it, and it might not look THAT much different to others, but it really changes the vibe too much from what i would like my character to be that i'm considering making a gremlin Lala version of her instead, which i doubt was the intention with these changes.

It just went from a cute, friendly face that was able to look determined in cutscenes and with face emotes to permanent determination. I can see where people enjoy that a lot, but the previous version was just way more what i wanted to create

maybe before switching race completely, perhaps the other Miqote variant has a solution?

I tried finding a solution in character creation, but nothing comes close to what i want back. Which is frustrating, since at least for me, the eyebrows are the sole issue lol

I've seen some more people here and there (esp on Reddit) with similar issues on other races, similarly also face 2. I wonder if this is a genuine bug? How would i even make that known to people who could look into that?

I did find that both sun and moon miqo have the issue with wrong eyebrows on face 2.

Deffo seems like a bug, since the other faces and their eyebrows seem pretty accurate to what they were before, judging by my retainer at least.

They are marking this issue "Working as intended" in spite of it being the most egregious change across all of Dawntrail's visual updates...
