Title: A question of height.
Post by: Paul Debrion on September 30, 2009, 05:01:38 PM: This might be a silly question, but how tall are fairies (Cirno, Lily White) and youkai insects (Wriggle) supposed to be?

I haven't seen them depicted next to humans much for size comparison.

Post by: Pako on September 30, 2009, 05:12:47 PM: Wriggle is as tall as a human child.

The fairies vary in Length; in between the size of your hand to the size of a young girl.

In anycase, I'm going to agree with Pako and say the same.

Cirno would most likely be the same height as Wriggle. Lily White is a bit taller than them I would guess, perhaps about the size of a 16 year old.

Way shorter.

Yeah, but UNL also has 3- to 3.5-head body proportions.

Standard anime body sizing.

No, it's a bit more deformed than normal. Sometimes I wonder why Tasofro took the art in that direction. It's hard to imagine them in a serious setting with those proportions.

There's your problem: Touhou isn't a serious setting.
