She's not quite that small. 4'6", give or take a centimeter. The possibility of her having growth spurts in the future, I'm leaving up to the trusty Quarter of Doom. If nothing else, staying the same size will save her from risking entering Gag Boobs territory. Thanks to having Miyu on the mind when the mod took hold, she's probably already dangerously close, after all.
The in-universe reactions to her size are for several reasons. From her point of view, she's suddenly over a foot smaller and everything and everyone is disturbingly large. There's a voice in the back of her head disturbed that Nene now towers over her, dammit. When she meets the Professor again, that's really going to hurt her efforts to drive off the panic attack. He was a decent bit taller than her already, dammit. Other peoples reactions to her have two major reasons. One, she's short, obviously, but the other...? Those of you that played MMOs with a lot of character customization might remember how the height slider never quite worked how it would in the real world. They had a default size where the proportions were all accurate, but then they just scaled up and down as needed. She's got a dose of that, so even next to someone of a similar size, she'd look tiny. I suspect one of her future fen nicknames would be along the lines of 'the Emerald Pixie'.
As for the slave girl part of the usual name, I've got it planned to be mentioned at some point, and her reaction to the term should be interesting.
