Changeling Parentage
In their natural form, changelings are slender and pale, with colorless eyes and silver-white hair.
A changeling can alter their physical appearance with a thought, shifting shapes the way others might change clothes. Shifting is a natural form of expression for the changeling.
A casual shape—one created on the spur of the moment, with no depth or history—is called a mask. A mask can be used to express a mood or to serve a specific purpose and then never used again. However, many changelings develop identities that have more depth. They build an identity over time, crafting a persona with a history and beliefs.
Personas can even be passed down through a family, allowing a younger changeling to take advantage of contacts established by previous users of the persona.
