[Rhinelings - River Tricksters]

Rhinelings

Curious, passionate, mischievous, bold and reckless, Rhinelings seem to embody the memorable traits of their cousins with none of the negativity. Though distantly related to the Fey, Rhinelings are very good natured with little to no inherent cruelty or selfishness.

Physical Description

Rhinelings are short and stout of build, being pudgy around the middle and short in the leg.They have round, jovial faces and their ears are broad, slightly flat and taper at the tips. Rhinelings always have skin that is very cool to the touch, ranging in varying shades of blues and greens with purple, round clusters of spots sporadically across it. Rhineling men lack any body hair of any kind while women have long, luxurious hair that can come in any shade. Rhineling hands and feet are webbed and their wide eyes (which can be of any shade) slightly protrude from their sockets.
