Oh of course, I agree, the anime is a strange adaptation. but my information doesn't necessarily stem from that alone. the green mage girl is the only character consistent in appearance throughout all the mangas, and anime as well, which seems to me that she must be important enough to the story to warrant being the same. And, another issue with the manga is that they've had yet to introduce Rino, even in an extra chapter, which causes the issue of, well, when it happens, is it gonna be a character that's never been even name dropped there, or are they saving the moment where she gets backstabbed by Myne for later, when it's closer to the time she returns the favor, which personally is what I think. The issue with the LN is that it really doesn't give us good appearance descriptions for characters like this, so we have NO idea what they're supposed to look like.

And yeah, Moto sees even a few of Naofumi's teammates as pigs still, it's only if they have a direct relation to Filo that he doesn't. Rino wouldn't have that, so naturally he'd see her as a pig too. I also don't know the extent of illusion magic, but I know it's capable of making entire scenes look vastly different, so it's possible her height in that scene wouldn't really matter. We won't really know unless the manga or anime manages to get there, or the official translation gives us an appearance description, which is unlikely.
