Female characters balance on their heels for a number of emotes and poses.

Date of issue: 7/16/2024
Time of issue: Reporting at 7:24 PM PST but it happens always.
Frequency: All the time
World name: Hyperion
Character name@Home World name: Cid Heiral @ Hyperion
Retainer name: N/A
NPC name: N/A
Monster name: N/A
Class/Level: N/A
Party or solo: All
In-game time: N/A
Area and coordinates: All
Housing: N/A
Steps:
1. Log into the game as a female highlander or Au Ra (although I believe it applies to all female characters, those are just the two I confirmed) and use any of the emotes or poses outlined in Step 2.
2. The emotes and poses I have observed this behavior on include but are not limited to:
- /cheeron, /cheerviolet, /cheerbright
- /squats
- /guard
- /atease
- /hum
- /attention
- /tremble
- /showleft, /showright
- /malevolence
- /sweat
- Most "weapon out" combat stances such as MCH, DRG, WAR.
- Crafting stance, your front foot aims up.
- And probably more I didn't catalogue.
3. When you use these emotes or assume these stances you will observe that one or more of your feet point upward as if you're balancing on your heel. This happens across all foot gear. This does not happen for male characters using the same emotes and stances. I took some pictures with a friend to confirm. They saw it as well so it's not something local to me.

My friend's male character is on the left, my female character is on the right. These two pictures are while using /cheeron.

This one is while in the Scholar combat stance with your weapon out.

This one is while using /wringhands.

As you can see, in all of them his character's feet are flat on the ground while mine are inexplicably pointed upward.

Also, here's a screenshot with a female Au Ra character to confirm it seems to be happening on all female characters.

If it helps pinpoint the issue, here are some stationary emotes where the issue DOES NOT occur:
- /reprimand
- /confirm
- /winded
- /breathcontrol
- /heart
- /drinktea

Thanks!
