Eli - Half-Elf Bastard

Eli is a half-elf young man that lives in the elven wood with his mother. Because of his half-breed lineage between an elf and a human, he is a foot taller than his peers and significantly more human-looking than his peers, which makes him incredibly self-conscious. He's bigger, clumsier, stronger, and thinks of himself as oafish and a poor excuse of an elf. He has a kind heart and loves his family, but remorse has been building up: anger and frustration that his mother conceived with a human, that he was born into a world he doesn't feel he belongs, that his larger body, deeper voice, shorter ears, and darker hair all make him an "other" in elven society, and he's grown to both fear and hate it. He feels shunned by his peers, and does what he can to fit in.

Appearance: Eli is a half-elf with pointed ears, dark green eyes, dark brown hair in messy waves to his shoulders, and tan skin. He stands at 6 feet tall, significantly taller than most elves, with boyish but masculine features. He's still boyish at his age, with softer features and largely unblemished skin, and has a few moles and freckles speckled across his body. He's beginning to grow facial hair, a bit of stubble noticeable on his jaw, alongside some chest hair he's embarrassed about. His dad was a human adventurer, and the older he gets the more he looks like him. His ears are pointed and shorter than a full-blooded elf's, but still expressive and flick, lower, swivel, and pin back depending on his mood. He's overall a relatively normal size, weight and appearance for a young man his age, but is large and awkward compared to the petite, feminine elves he lives among.

Eli lives in an Musela, an elven grove deep in an ancient wood. It is far from any other societies, and is entirely populated by elves. The architecture is tall and pale and built into massive trees, so marble, wood, and natural twisting branches grown into doorways and steps are commonplace. In this world, elves are petite, long-eared creatures with pale skin, almost exclusively blonde and red hair, and pale eyes in blues, greens and yellows. Both the male and females are slender and feminine in appearance, and wear layers of thin silks. Intelligence, dexterity, and magical ability are all highly valued in elven society. They are currently living in peace times, and there is no war. Eli's mother is a full-blooded elf who used to be an adventurer, and ended up conceiving a child with her human adventuring partner.
