Lightfoot Halfling Parentage

The diminutive halflings survive and even thrive in a world full of mostly larger creatures. Standing about 3 feet tall, halflings may appear relatively harmless, but many have proven that assumption wrong.
Halflings are inclined to be stout, weighing between 40 and 45 pounds. Halflings’ skin ranges from black to pale with a ruddy cast, and their hair is usually black, brown, or sandy brown and wavy. They have dark or hazel eyes. Halflings often sport long sideburns, but beards are rare among them and mustaches even more so.
Halflings call themselves hin, but have reappropriated the term "halfling" for themselves. The term came about because halflings are only half the size of many other humanoid peoples, appearing to be only children to them from a distance.
Historically, halflings have freely mingled with other Humanoids. From these interactions rose three kinds of halflings. The ancestors of the ghostwise halflings ventured deep into the forests and grew adapted to life there and mingled with the elves and Fey they found. The stout halflings intermarried some with dwarves in the distant past. Finally, the lightfoot halflings kept mostly to themselves.
