I pictured Klara as being young-looking simply because her voice (at least in my head / based on how she is written) feels quite childlike, and it made the most sense for me to picture her resembling a child as well.

And by the end of the book, it's mentioned that Josie has to bend down to hug Klara, suggesting she is child-sized (especially since as a sickly child, Josie likely does not grow up to be that tall).

Thinking back, it does make sense that her childlike written voice wouldn't have reflected an adult-appearing model meant as an AF. Maybe if AFs were designed more as babysitters, it'd be plausible.

I must have missed/forgotten the height mentions. Your take on Josie's eventual height definitely puts things into perspective. Thanks!
