    Viconia is, as is Jaheira.
    Drizzt has white hair, as it states in the book I have called : "Drizzt's guide through the Underdark".

    I guess we're sticking to D&D elves as this is a BG2 forum. Acooridng to the Players handbook for the 3rd edition rules, Elves 'tend to be pale-skinned and dark haired, with deep green eyes.' But there are different types of elves in D&D for example the Drow mentioned above. Things might be different again in different fantasy settings (Shakespear, Tolkien, etc). Anyway I'm sure someone who knows much more than me on the subject (nearly everyone on these boards) will be along soon.

    You could have a nose around the official D&D site (I looked breify and didn't find much):

    You're a female Elf I presume?
    Maybe it matters if the elf is a male or a female... ;)

    Elven heads come in as many different colours as human ones. There's no "default".

    P.S.
    Jaheira's a half-elf and she had brown hair originally (check the BG1 portrait). What the artist did for the one in BG2 is another question...

    Couldn't agree with you more, Bel. Such a sexy rarity is a wonderful thing to behold; almost exotic. What's more, they seem to have a natural inclination towards intelligence, humor, and soul.

    Ooh, can't forget the short wicks these ladies have on their tempers. Haven't yet decided if it's a curse or a blessing, I'm thinking it's a nice balance of each.

    Um...what are all the different types of elf races?

    As far as i know, there are the sliverglade, the drow, mirkwood, and lorien elves...

    And what race is an elf that is pale skined with blonde hair. He wears green and yellow and is a ranger.

    All elves have a perfect appearance, and they stay so until death.

    I think you are thinking about grey elves sniper. The are also under the classification moon elves. But in my opinion gold elves are the best. :p

    Yes I suppose that is true, because we are more intouch with our emotions. Of course we are also more in control of them and can simply have things not affect them. I could kill you just as easily as i could kill my brother, and both would have no effect, unless I CHOSE for them to. You wouldnt happen to be evil would you? ;)
