Once again I accept that it is humanly possible. And it appears that your example is not a contortionist, but someone who's pushing the limit of human flexibility.
It's close enough that I fully concede that point. Thank you for clarifying.
Though I am still against it contextually.
1. Even in the photo, the pose looks unnatural and uncomfortable. There's no practicality to it. 2. The character is a mage, not a "finesse" class where you could believe they have above average flexibility. 3. I'd like to know how people would feel if they gave the male inquisitor the same pose.
