Halfelf

Half-elves are the children of a human parent and an elven parent, never the result of another coupling. Why elves are able to produce offspring with humans, and not with other races, is unknown, though the gift may lie more with humans who are able to mate and have children with other races. They are called half-elves by their human counterparts, to distinguish them from other hybrids - the elves call them half-men, or barely acknowledge them at all. Both elves and most humans shun half-elves, the former out of shame, the latter out their general distrust of faerie folk, whose features a half- elf often will bear.

Half-elves possess the traits of both their parents, right down to their skills and abilities. They are intelligent and wise, they are dextrous and fleet of foot, but they suffer slightly from the frailties of their elvish blood. Like their human parents they are quick learners, and are able to master any skill. They also have the ability to see heat sources in the dark. Culturally a half-elf can be like either parent, or both, depending on how and where the child was raised. More often than not the father is human and the mother elf, so most half-elves behave as humans, which probably adds cause for the suspicions elves show towards them.

A half-elf is a mix of the two races, rarely exceeding two meters in height or a human's breadth in shoulder. A half-elf will have the color of her parents' hair and eyes, meaning any, and will possess a skin tone of light to moderate color. They often are beautiful, moreso than any human, though only a few match or exceed the looks of a true elf. A half-elf can live to 300 years or more if not cut down in her youth.
