Homebrew Floral Half-Elf Species Details

Floral half-elves inhereit much of their thinking from their elven parent and more slightly more physical from their human parent. 

-------

Often times, both parents will raise and care for their child. Most of the time the child will be raised in either the elven parent's community with the only human being their parent, or vice versa. This very limited exposure to humans or elves causes floral half-elves to become curious about the world. This curiosity leaves them wanting to become independent and learn much about the world that awaits them. 

They also heavily take the ideals of family and community to heart. They are very protective of those close to them and will call anyone close to them family, even if not related by blood. Floral half-elves tend to more open compared to their elven counterpart, this could be seen as a flaw, as it could be taken advantage of. 

------Appearance-------

Floral half-elves look like regular half-elves, except for one thing, their hair. They're born with flowers in their hair, which they inherit from their elven parent. Their hair is typically a similar color to their human parent's with streaks of color from their elven parent.
