I've never been very good at female anatomy - I should use this as a chance to get better at it!
The pose I actually wanted was her to be standing holding a cup of tea, as though she's casually engaging in conversation. I was not intending for shyness to enter the sprite at any point (it seems really weird to me in this case, as it doesn't fit Marisa's personality at all). I recognise that this is perhaps not the most animated pose, however, so I may try something a little more dynamic.
I also did try flipping the sprite, and didn't notice a problem with it. I may revert to my old method of drawing a ray from the centre of gravity to the ground, as I think that highlights balance issues more clearly, at least to me.
