elf
A fantastical humanoid race characterized by their lithe frame, great finesse, youthful appearance despite long lifespans, and pointy ears. Codified by Tolkienian literature.
In anime-styled works, elves' characteristic were further stylized into simply a "human with pointy ears", with them almost always have blonde hair. As a result, they are often indistinguishable from half-elves. Many works (particularly NSFW) also exploit elves' longetivity by either depicting them as being more endowed than ordinary human or as a "loli baba" (mature adult in child-like body) stereotypes.
