I wanted to post because I had a similar debate with myself not long ago. My character is a male miqote who is fairly feminine, thin, etc. When I draw him, even, he comes out looking more on the girl side of things (and I've had several people get a bit testy about this, thinking he was a she and being upset that they called a dude hot and thus their sexuality was threatened, but I digress)
While the male models are a little more buff than I want, I simply make it a point from time to time in RP to mention in writing that he is thin. IE: referring to his fingers as thin, his frame frail, etc. It's all in the writing.
That being said, it's still pretty possible to configure the faces just right if you play around with them and get a youthful appearance that isn't totally in-your-face-super-manly or anything.
Ultimately, it's really your choice, but I'd like to draw attention to some of the other things the people in here have said, mainly because it will come up in RP with people who are unaware of your character's background. Â Most of the armors available to wear for females cater to the figure. Even with the boob sliders on 0, there is still a bit of puff here and there, there's jiggle, and most if not all of the armor cater to that sort of hourglass-esque figure (on every female in every race). If you're willing to deal with that and the fact that your character is going to be mistaken a lot for a girl, then I suppose you have nothing to worry about.
On a random sidenote, the fact that the race you chose was the Moonkeeper side of things, it'll help with the innocent youngling appearance because of the size of their iris/pupil. Sunseekers are slightly more difficult to achieve the look.
Bottom line, however, that I've learned from RPing in any game, period. IC is not equal to IG. Even with the limitations of avatar options in the creation, ultimately it is your decision as to how they look. An example being, my man'qote has a very long braid and his hair is shaggy, cut asymmetrically. Obviously that's not an option at all. So I picked a somewhat shaggy style that was similar-ish, but I make it a point (as I said above) in my writing to mention that he has a braid, whether it's him playing around with it or it swishing around in a rainy wind. Etc.
I think that's it... Forgive me if it's a little confusing or ramble-y or anything. Bit sleep deprived. ^^;
