Homebrew Felir Species Details
The Felir are a race alien to the world, having originated from another planet entirely, known to them as 'Aestra'. They are a species of petite female humanoids in possession of feline features in an ideal echo of authentic cats, that being the physical attributes of their ears and tail.
They worship a god of pleasure by the name Davith, a male wolf-like individual residing in the Palace of Div, the afterlife of all Felir. The Felir's adoration for their god exceeds all common sense, arousing at the very moment of birth, it is often times comparable to an obsession or fanaticism. It is exactly because of this reason that Felir view themselves as the "Chosen Race" and while they may convert other races into their religion, it is with the sole belief that one must live in a fashion worthy of Davith's notice, so in the next life you can rebirth as a Felir. Few are the exceptional ones to catch the attention of Davith without being part of his created race, but there are instances where one might indeed ascend to the Palace of Vid despite not undergoing rebirth.

Speed
Despite a lack of height, Felir tend to be nimble accomplishing the very same feats in agility as an adult human. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision
One of the more practical feline features of the Felir presents itself in their superior eyesight. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Keen Senses
Felir's ears tend to be especially sensitive, that coupled with their heightened eyesight, allows them to casually notice things most people otherwise wouldn't. You have proficiency in the Perception skill.
Davith's Gift
Davith has granted upon Felir the gift of magic, a show of his benevolent endearment. You know the prestidigitation cantrip. Once you reach 3rd level, you can cast the magic missile spell once with this trait as a 1st-level spell, and you regain the ability to cast it this way when you finish a long rest. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for this spell.
Felir Lightness
You can move through the space of any creature that is of a size larger than yours.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common and Felirin. Felirin is the native language of Felir, its etymology extends into other languages Felir speak, manifesting with the fusion of words, repetition of Felir phrases or the outright replacement of common foreign words. The most obvious sign of this quirk could be observed in the excessive usage of the nya sound within the race.
Alignment
Felir's alignment couldn't be more free and colorful, it is in competition with that of humans themselves. Albeit their faith in Davith may play a slight role in their lives as their god favours the kind-hearted, which ends up with a lot of evil aligned Felir being on the more softer and passive spectrum in order to please him.
