shen jiu is canonically like 6 feet tall, but he gives off such petite energy to me. it might be the amount of spite and viciousness... as a tiny person myself i can say this with my whole heart but i have usually only seen such levels of spite and viciousness in tiny people. and sj was practically starved until 16ish so realistically he is not growing up to be taller than like, 5'3 at most.
also picture the scary tactician that tears everyone to shreds with his words being so dainty he makes the tiny teacup he's holding look big. it's a testament to shen jiu's dedication to acting badly that people still manage to hate him despite the fact he's so teensy and beautiful
