Elsef

Elsefs, also known as Elsevs, are a race of humanoid beings that exist on Arth. As one of the first beings to exist on Arth, they were the last creation of Iranami before her "death". Due to the nature of their existence, they were once immortal and magical, were cursed by Sihranui to become mortal, as well as evolving a natural fear and dislike of the sun due to the trauma of being stripped of their immortality, with very few even being magical. After thousands of years, Elsefs have spread across the planet, even evolving into subraces such as the Jetsef, Itsef, and Mahtsef, and the Cairn.
== Physiology ==
Elsefs are generally tall, lithe, and graceful beings with lightly colored skin, usually in shades of gold, yellow, and orange. Their hair is usually lightly colored, such as white and is often long. The most notable features of an Elsef is their long ears with pointed ends, a physical feature which defines them apart from humans and demons. These ears also allow an Elsef to hear the emotions of others, making them very empathetic and kind beings. 
Elsevs tend to have very little sexual dimorphism between male and female, with only slight differences such as women having slightly more muscle and fat than men, and male Elsevs having shorter ears than females.
== Culture ==
Despite their proud origins of powerful, beautiful, and magical beings, Elsevs are actually quite shy and isolated, rarely living in mixed environments or migrating to such. They are incredibly community oriented, with social structures such as marriage or monogamy not existing in the traditional sense, and often prefer actually living in pocket groups within their society as partners, parents, and more.
=== Courtship ===
However, despite their lack of monogamy with each other, Elsefs practice monogamy with partners not of their own race. In Elsef society, plants are vital for in use of augur, nutrients, and more, so gifting special flowers, each different flower having a different meaning being important to expressing one's own feelings, and these flowers are often eaten as a sign of accepting their feelings. If the feelings are not accepted, then the flowers are burnt, returning them to nature and utilizing their life force for augur.
