Children of the Forest

The Children of the Forest is the name of a group of Fay people that lived in the forests of Dantooine. Following the destruction caused by the Sith during the Galactic Campaign, it is believed that they are currently extinct.
Although marked as a race, the Fay (or Fae) exist in SW-canon, and this page merely expands on one of the types of Fay that may be found.

==Brief History==
The Children of the Forest have always been part of the Dantooine fauna. They lived among the trees, dances happily in the grass. They hunted and gathered their food, and generally lived in peace and harmony with nature. Then several millennia ago, they suddenly became hunted; humans, seeking the beauty they thought the Fay possessed, tried to murder their males, capture their females, and force them into breeding. Very few pure blooded Fay survived, and much of the sharp beauty that can be found in the Dantooine locals is descendant from those days. The remaining Fay managed to run and slip away, digging back into the Forest, hiding themselves from the humans. For many generations, they remained like that, only watching from affair, never making contact. Enter Descension’s timeline, the Sith invasion. Dantooine, along with its forest, is nearly destroyed.

* The Children of the Forest have pointy ears, which they can curl and uncurl at their will, or as per the emotions they are going through.

* The teeth of the Children of the Forest appear as human milk teeth, save for two small upper fangs.

==Race Weaknesses==
* Because their bones are hollow and their bodies petite, they can easily break and be broken
* Their speed is limited to a mile or two at most, after which they must stop and rest
* While the children of the Forest can biologically live up to 120, many find their deaths in less than half that time due to various accidents involving their fragile bodies.

==Race Distinctions==
* The Children of the Forest do not give their names out to anyone but their loved ones, because they believe that those who know your name have ultimate power over you.
