I genuinely like her more than I do a good lot of canon characters. She can easily be cute, sexy or funny and have varied dynamics with the rest of the cast.
I sort of want ZUN to make her canon already but I'm also afraid he could retroactively ruin 20 years worth of fanwork by making her something completely different from what fans have portrayed her, design and role-wise, maybe he knows this is it's why he hasn't done it.

It has never occurred to me to pronounce character names in any other manner except in close imitation of the japanese, but I was nevertheless mangling their customary pitch accent for a long time because I was not aware that it was not just random inconsequential intonation.

Her being the size of daiyousei really doesn't tell us much given that we see some fairies (like fairy maids) be really tall, even taller than some characters. And other official drawings of her pretty much show her to be normal height.

Remilia is canonically physically a little girl under 10 years old. If you use that image, even Meiling is like the size of a 13 year old or so assuming Remi isn't the size of a 5 year old. It's entirely possible for a fairy to be taller than Remilia.
