General Description and Biology

Halfling are miniaturized humans. They are short, but not stocky. They do not look like children, but simply small humans. They are generally proportional, though they do tend to have large feet and hands. Their hair tends to be wavy or curly, but straight is not completely unheard of. Their features vary much like humans, making size their distinction. They have a very strong sense of taste, more so than almost any other race. Their high metabolism makes drives them to eat several meals in a day or they get cranky.

Generally jovial and seen as peacemakers and communicators. They are not confrontational and often try to deescalate situations with jokes, They tend to prefer safety and the comforts of home.
