You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

• You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

Elfling don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 5 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Your Intelligence score increases by 1, and your Charisma score increases by 2.

Elfling mature at the same rate as humans but have half the lifespan of elves. 

Tieflings might not have an innate tendency toward evil, but many of them end up there. Evil or not, an independent nature inclines many tieflings toward a chaotic alignment.

Tieflings are about the same size and build as humans. Your size is Medium.

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Thanks to your infernal heritage, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. 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.

You have resistance to fire damage.

You know the thaumaturgy cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the hellish rebuke spell as a 2nd-level spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the darkness spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

You can speak, read, and write Common, Infernal, and Elvish.
