Sulvari

The figure cocked their head to one side, then uttered a breathy chuckle. They lifted their gloved hands to tug back their hood, revealing a sleek face with dark charcoal-colored skin and bright ember-orange eyes that studied him closely. A pair of beautiful, strange horns curled like a ram’s rack around their ears, which were cupped and tapering like an animal’s and seemed to have a similar range of motion. A flicker of unexpected motion near their ankles revealed a slender, hairless, feline tail coiling restlessly behind their calves as they worked.   The stranger turned their dark-skinned face just enough to give him a faint smile. He caught a glimpse of sharp canines, just a little longer than was normal in elves and humans. Orange eyes, devoid of pupils and with a visual texture like half-lit coals covering their entire cornea, bored into him with an uncanny intensity.
