Yes. Liara is jealous.

Talis body reminds me of rhianna. Smaller ****** though.

[Radahldo]

I noticed fanart of tali, while technically rendering her form well, misrepresents how big she is. When she stands next to male shep I think "Your waist is wider than his torso and hes wearing armor".

Fanart makes her shorter than shep and not as wide. I know all models are same height in game basically but I dont see why everyone imagines her smaller?
Ive always wondered this.

[Ravensword]

Most Tali fanart gives her a really tiny waist. In these illustrations, her waist is usually as wide as her thighs.

I think its a subconcious thing. Her personality is gives off petite vibes so thats what people draw.. Nontheless shes like atleast 5'10 in my imagination. In fanart she looks 5'5.

She does have a rather well formed derriere, doesn't she?

It's all about dem hips.

It's all about "THOSE" hips you mean.  Can we try not to affirm Talimancer stereotypes?

On another note, I always seems to assume Tali's a lot taller than she actually is. I guess she's the right height relative with Shepard for him to take to a posh dinner party, under conservative perception anyway.

Her body fits into 'sexy' mold.
I think cute just refers to personality
Another example of her body might be Lara Stome at certain points during her career. Tali has very idealized body. I dont see how it can be 'cute' if its model-like.

What do you mean by cute exactly? A lot of people basically use "cute" when they really mean "sexy". I've never understood it and I've always hated it.

I loathe both those words. They sound so pedestrian.

Anyway they're interchangeable for the most part but I'd say "cute" is a more specific branch off that which is perceived as "sexy" with a more specific definition (e.g. petite, adorable, personable). If you wanted to nitpick you could say that the s-word connotates that our...err more primordial  urges are the predominant cause of attraction. However they are not mutually exclusive and such labels are nearly always based on appearance and the (almost always unjustifiably) connotated personality attached.

"the s-word" for me would be Yvonne Strahovski, "the c-word" for me is Kiko Mizuhara. They project a distinct image and I instinctively apply the personality archetype I feel is appropriate.

So what do you use?

Attractive, lovely, charming, alluring, stimulating of the loins or if all else fails r-r-r-ravishing (you have to roll the Rs or the effect is lost).

The rest are fine but charming? That's terrible.

Might as well say she's handsome.

*Southern accent* Ah, my dear Caroline. You are as alluring and radiant as ever. I regret that our time back together shall be brief. General Sherman is on his way so Savannah and I must go to in order to stop his advance.

That picture is pretty accurate compared to what we can see of her already. If you are hoping for a bizarre alien that you can't recognize as human then you are lying to yourself.

In that picture she's entirely human.

That's accurate to you?

We've been told that the face under the mask was actually a placeholder and not what she really looked like.


But yes, what we see through the mask has similar shaped eyes to us, in similar position. Point of her nose is also in a similar position (no idea what the rest of her nose looks like though), and given that her voice doesn't sound too different to us, she likely has similar vocal chords and the like (though this could be down to some translator/speaker in her mask. She also says she wants to feel Shepard's skin against hers. Implying she does not have scales, or feathers or anything, but actual skin.


So yeah she likely has a vaguely similar human appearance, but that picture is 100% human.

As a well bred, cultured individual I can assure you handsome's a word which is attributable only to men, horses and Mrs Trunchball clones, whilst charming's application is a lot more diverse. You can say you had a charming conversation, or a charming meal for example. Similarly I consider it an able description for that enaging kind of person. Anyway the word's Jane Austen approved for both genders, so there!

Personally I limit it to describing charasmatic males.

I spit on Jane Austen.
