Sylphs

Basic Information

Anatomy

Sylphs have very mothlike features, from their wings to their antennae. These antennae are feathery and light, capable of sensing both spiritual energy and emotion. They have fur that lines their forearms, calves, and collar areas, which is also capable of feeling nearby elemental energy.

Behaviour

Thanks to their ablility to sense and feel the emotions of others, sylphs often have issues with anxiety or stress. As such, many are either very irritable or very low-key around others. Of course, this tendency is based entirely upon one's sensitivity to the emotions of others, or the intensity of said emotions.
