Rarely does Lyra think her height was an issue.
Standing at 161 cm tall, she’s an average height, and while variety show host likes to poke fun at her height once in a while (as they do with everyone else – regardless of whether said person was short, tall or average in height) she has long come to terms with her own stature. During her childhood it proved to be a blessing in many situations; she was small enough to squeeze herself through tight places other friends couldn’t get to and light enough for her to pull herself up to the tallest of trees to get the best view of their humble hometown.
Only in the years following her eventual debut did her stature become a negative thing. Between netizens tearing into her “perfect” image and show hosts thinking it was funny and entertaining to use her height as a joke, she slowly grew to dislike how short she was. It didn’t help how the beauty standards were raised inhumanly high – for girls especially. She hated high heels, hated always having to look “perfect” and hated how she cared so much for others opinion when she knew, in the back of her mind, that in the end of the day it didn’t really matter.
(The devil in her mind argues that it does matter because she’s dependent on other people’s opinion to thrive – she cares too much.)
Apparently, her “short” stature is like an open invitation for anyone above her own height to constantly tease her or “accidentally” bump into her as if they didn’t see her standing around. More often than not she retaliates verbally but once in a while she throws in a punch too.
So when someone comes bumping into her it takes all her willpower to not lash out at the person right there and then. Even if they were in the premises of their shared company building and even if she is positive most staff by now knew the reality of her personality she still wasn’t sure who else would be mingling around to witness this exchange. Opting instead to send the offender a glare, her irritation flares up underneath her skin when she recognizes who it is. “What do you want?”
