the appearance of elves (as i see them)

Elves are slender, athletic folk about as tall as humans. Their range of complexions tend more toward tan or brown hues. A typical elf ’s hair color is dark brown or mossy green. Elves’ ears are long and pointed, and their eyes are vibrant blue, violet, or green. Elves have little body hair, but they favor a wild and loose look to their hair.

Elves mature at about the same rate as humans, but show few effects of age past adulthood. The first sign of an elf ’s advancing age is typically a change in hair color, usually taking on more autumnal hues--with dark brown hair turning autumn orange and mossy green hair turning deep gold. Most elves live to be well over 200 years old and remain vigorous almost to the end.
