She’s tall but she’s way too narrow to actually fit the shoulders on the suit. It’s one of those weird game oversights, like how many game building interiors are too large for the exterior to contain.
I don't think it's an oversight as much as it is simply the design of the suit to have large pauldron-like shoulders that also make it look like mechanical joints.
