Half-sea elf

A half–sea elf was the offspring of one human parent and one sea elf parent.

Description
A half–sea elf generally had a pale-green skin, human-like hair with shades of blue or green, and human eye colors, with a thin membrane between their fingers that made them great swimmers.

Personality
They often seemed distant or absent, as if they were listening to or imagining the sound of the sea. They also had a dreamy personality without developing any bitter behavior.

Abilities
Half-sea elves could see in low-light conditions thanks to their low-light vision, though their submerged eyesight was only half as effective as true sea elves. They could breath both air and water. And due to their human makeup, they could withstand greater depths.

If a half-sea elf did not grow up in an underwater environment, it took them roughly a month to fully acclimate to aquatic life.

Society
Half–sea elves were most commonly encountered in coastal lands or along rivers. Even if they were not able to breathe underwater, they always felt a strong attraction toward the sea.

They were forced by their abilities to stay with their human parent and were cut off from their elven family.

Religions
A number of half-sea elves were members of the Church of Deep Sashelas.

History
Half–sea elves didn't have a proper history as there were not enough of them to build communities. A half–sea elf would be unlikely to meet someone of their own species during their entire life. By 1370 DR, half-sea elves could be found in Serôs, though they were comparatively rarer than malenti.
