Atryth and Nalorani!

Atryth is Nalorani's fiancée*.  She's a dancer and businesswoman and has a really nice backside.

Atryth and Nalorani

This is really just a pair of portraits, one of Atryth Rubywing herself, the other of Nalorani and Atryth together.  Their size difference is significant - Nalorani is well above average height (6'3").  And, of course, that raises a different issue: what is average height for an elf?

---

Without going into a huge long discussion on the matter of sexual dimorphism and related issues I've taken the average height for a high/blood elven female as being abooout 5'8".  Atryth is an inch or two taller than normal height; their difference would be more pronounced if she weren't.  Nalorani is distinctly taller.

There are, of course, average heights released for the different races but they conflict.  For example on WoWPedia, a quite reliable source of such information (for the most part), there are different heights listed for female of the quel'dorei (high elves, 4'9" - 5'9") than the sin'dorei (blood elves, 5'4" - 6'2").  This makes absolutely zero sense; until the fel dependency that turned their eyes green and theoretically changed them into a separate, distinct race, the blood elves were high elves.

I doubt very much that using fel energy sources as a way of avoiding Wretched-hood made the girls grow five to seven inches.  Remember than most blood elves are at least 60+ years old and have spent the vast majority of their lives as high elves.

Further complications are the obvious ones, things such as these heights being very unhelpfully listed as 'Height', with no indication as to whether it represents an average range, an extreme range, or what.  I assume an average range.  That would place Atryth well in the normal range and Nal at the 'woah, tall!' end of the scale.

So I guessed.  Go me.  5'8" as average seems pretty fair.

* = Yeah, I know they're both girls.  As Blizzard has remained absolutely close-lipped on the matter of sex in the World of Warcraft, and recitent at the very least on subjects like what does or does not constitute an 'acceptable marriage' in the various cultures, the players of these characters (one of which is me) have decided on a 'fuck it, we're doing it anyway' approach.  Cope with it.
