[KathyGables]

Can anyone give some insight to the issue in this gyazo?

You are not hovering in the pic. You are standing/sitting on a pad... That X4 pads are forcing your avatars into a pose, and have a fixed value about on wich height you pose.
Thats why the taller avatar has her feet stuck inside the pad, while the tiny one floats.

Get your both avatars next to each other on flat land or onto a big simple prim. I bet, the issue will be gone.

Resi is exactly right. This is why when you see couples dancing together, one of them is often hovering too much, or has their feet sunk in the ground. They are set so that the avatar centre is at a certain height, regardless of how tall they are above/below that centre.

Those pose stands are exactly the same. Measure the two avatars at their centre, a little above the belly-button, and they are "hovering" the same distance above the pad as each other.

If I remember correctly, all animations are based on the pelvis.  Leg length and hip length mean a lot more than body height in this situation.

[ETA]
The avatars are hung from the same point more like this.

Thanks very much to all three of you.
