Is it possible for the face to not match the kibbe body type?

that usually indicates a person being a gamine (having contrasting features is actually the point of that image ID), or a subtype.

pure & soft gamine: can have the narrow body/limbs of a small dramatic, but the moon-shaped face of a romantic. gamines have the most unpredictable features of all types, though their petite stature makes them easy to identify again.

soft dramatic: has the skeleton of a tall dramatic, but can have soft-looking eyes, full cheeks/lips due to a romantic undercurrent. though, the rest of their body tends to have R traits as well, which is why it's not my #1 pick for 'most discrepancy'

flamboyant natural: might have thin, narrow dramatic facial features that might not match their powerful N physique.

theatrical romantic: can have sharp, chiseled facial features but a curve-dominant small body.

soft natural: strong, shoulder-heavy proportions with a baby face. many such cases. look at jungkook! his face is so yin.

PS: if you relate to this "face is completely unequal to body" effect, you can rule out all classics and pure dramatic/pure romantic. those are the 'everything is congruent' types.

She is highly Romantic with some Ingenue and Gamine. Truth is Beauty gives the RGI blend the archetypes of "Innocent Spitfire", "Sex Kitten", amd "Sassy, Sexy, and Sweet", which focuses on being simultaneously mischievous and innocent, and always sexy. Our Fashion Garden gives the archetype of "The Enchanted Doll", which focuses on being fun, flirty, and dainty.

Ingenue vs Gamine: Comparative Essence Analysis

I feel like most people get Ingenue & Gamine essence mixed up. They're easy to confuse because both these essences make the individual look younger than they are and give them a "cute" appearance but there are key differences between the two.

CELEBRITIES WITH INGENUE ESSENCE

L to R

Nicola Coughlan, Kim Minju

YooA, Miranda Kerr

Hanni, Lin Yun

Gene Tierney, Skai Jackson & Michelle Trachtenberg

If you look at their features, they have full cheeks, mostly big eyes, a small tapered chin, round foreheads and an overall round face. They look very doll-like and innocent. Ingenue is extreme yin essence so these women look very girl-like even when they're much older (Miranda is 40, Nicola is 37)

CELEBRITIES WITH GAMINE ESSENCE

L to R

Taylor Russell

Zoe Kravitz, Jeongyeon, Dahyun

Seulgi, Devon Aoki, Luda

Kristin Kreuk, Nana Komatsu

All of these women have Gamine essence. Similar to Ingenue essence, all of them look young and cute but while Ingenues have more rounded features, Gamines have a combination of sharp and soft features. Gamine is yin with a dash of yang whereas Ingenue is pure yin. Gamines don't look as "innocent" as Ingenues, they have a kind of mischievous look to them. They're more likely to be cast as the troublemaker who plays silly pranks than the goody two shoes. Ingenues tend to have round faces overall whereas Gamines have more angular faces with pointy chins with smaller eyes and lips. They have a tomboyish charm.

L to R

Park Boyoung & Jun Jihyun- Gamine

Shu Qi & Ni Ni, both Ingenue

Zooey Deschanel, IU & Ariana Grande- Gamine

I wanted to juxtapose Shu Qi & Ni Ni with some Gamines because I feel like because of their features they can be mistyped as Gamines even though they're Ingenues.

One distinguishing trait is their rounded foreheads, this is a very youthful trait because we associate it with babies. Another is how their overall features are rounded not angular, pointy or sharp. They also do not seem "naughty" or "mischievous" looking. Their faces seem softer more delicate as opposed to the Gamines.
