So:

1. Rohirrim are typically shorter than Gondorians
2. Éowyn, though tall, is shorter than the other Rohirrim as Dernhelm
3. Faramir is taller than the other Gondorian Dúnedain with him
4. Faramir is said to closely resemble his “very tall” father and at least 6′4″ brother
5. Faramir has to stoop down to kiss Éowyn’s brow

Conclusion: height difference!

Tags: #it is such a good trope and goes so tragically underappreciated with them #also i think it's kind of hilarious that éomer has númenórean height from morwen and is around aragorn's height of six six #éowyn's probably five ten and has been The Small One all her life
