The members of this diminutive race are a sight to behold. From a distance, a halfling could be mistaken for a well-dressed child, but up close it is easy to differentiate these small-framed men and women from the children of the taller [[races]]. These beings look like small sculptures of slim and athletic humans. Smooth features on a petite but fully developed body give adult halflings an attractive, graceful appearance. Their bodies are proportionate if little, and it is very rare to see roughened or weathered features on a halfling, either male or female.<br /> | |||

Female halflings are both slightly taller and somewhat slimmer than their male counterparts. While many allow their hair to grow long, it is rare to see any but the children sporting it flowing freely. Once a female is considered an adult woman, it is far more common for her to keep her hair bound in braids. In most families, the age of the woman will determine the number of braids she wears. The style of braiding differs from clan to clan, but many choose patterns that border on a unique art form, though comfort is also taken into consideration. Practicality is important to the halfling race, and can be observed even in the methods the women use to braid their hair. Thus, it is not uncommon to find tiny, multi-functional objects hidden within the braids, or even used to hold them together. | Female halflings are both slightly taller and somewhat slimmer than their male counterparts.
