You find that men tend to look at height or build, but that can be deceptive. A taller, chubbier halfling could look like a gnome, and a slender pretty boy human could pass as an elf, but a cursory glance at their ears tells all.
>>5542937The near-great witch DU-SAINT-WINIFRED wasn't around for much of your childhood--an apparently beautiful, intelligent elf that fell for some some swarthy, meat-handed woodcarver in the provinces led to your birth. Your mother went back to her important work at the academy and overseas whilst you were left at a home with your pa and nine half-siblings.
You can't say you ever felt wanting of a mother, though, and your home was always warm and sprightly. You grew up around wood shavings, fresh-baked bread from smoking hearths, and clay-stained hands. You eventually fell into your natural talent for magic and turned your attention to the world of WIZARDS and WITCHES, whereupon you found out about the rising star great witch SIGRID DE HAUTDESERT THE DISINHERITED.
