Description

Their ears vary in size and pointed shape, and as they age, the tips begin to droop. While elves come in a wide range of body types, they are all fairly tall, with heights ranging from about 6 to 6 ½ feet. All elves have the ability to drop into a celestial trance, rather than sleep. This allows them to rest effectively in a short amount of time.

Some elves possess what is known as a “mystic form,” which occurs when an elf has dedicated themself to the study or protection of the natural world so deeply that their physical form changes. These characteristics can include celestial freckles, the presence of leaves, vines, or flowers in their hair, eyes that flicker like fire, and more. Sometimes these traits are inherited from parents, but if an elf changes their environment or magical focus, their appearance changes over time. Because elves live for about 350 years, these traits can shift more than once throughout their lifespan.

Most Elves’ appearances don’t drastically change until they reach the late years of their life. As an Elf ages, their ears change. A young Elf’s ears point upwards and are stiff, while an elder Elf’s ears tend to droop downwards. Eleven ears can be long or short, thin or wide, but they always come to a point. Mystic form elves can be shaped by a variety of aspects from nature or magical practice, so influences from the elements are common. Some others may be altered by stars or celestial bodies.
