Changeling

== History ==
Changelings are the result of when a Hag mates with a human male. Hags however rarely take care of their child whom they abandon for others to raise.
== Description ==
Changelings are typically tall, slender, dark haired, and attractive, changelings otherwise resemble their fathers’ race. They are always female, and their mismatched colored eyes and abnormally pale skin hint at their true heritage. 
=== Lifecycle ===
Changelings are virtually identical to humans, that is until puberty beckons.
At puberty, changelings receive “the call,” a hypnotic spiritual voice that beckons them to travel and discover their true origins.
Changelings who ignore this call choose their own destiny; those who heed it discover their “mother” and may come into great power by transforming into hags themselves.
== Culture ==
As foundlings, Changelings have no real culture of their own, they blend into that of their adoptive parents, although when their true heritage is discovered or even suspected, many face prejudice.
Changelings are often loners and wanderers as a result and many are pushed into learning the magical arts to defend themselves, furthering the rumors of witchcraft.
