General Characteristics
Though Elven appearances changes widely between different cultural region. Pointed ears and massive pupils however, remain a constant amongst elves. Facially, they closely resemble slender humans with sharp yet elegant features. Though quite similar in appearance, their exaggerated features make them seem slightly uncanny to humans.

Elven height changes widely from region to region. For example, Grey Elves tower over most races, whereas High Elves are often similar to slightly shorter than humans in height. Elves are typically thinner when compared to other races of similar stature, and move with elegant grace.

Traits, such as hair and eye color, also greatly change in frequency between different ethnic groups. For example, white hair, which is highly dominant in Oerei and Nimonna, is practically unheard of elsewhere. The antler like growths that crown the Therasar and Iaro, are also completely unique to them.

Another noticeable feature of Elves is their apparent lack of body hair. Elves do grow body hair, however, Elven hair growth is an extremely slow processes, and a body-wide fuzziness will eventually appear with age.
