1. Shokiyan elves may appear frail, but they are actually quite strong--something that has caught many an attacker offguard.
2. Yes, my elves and fairies have pointy ears--this is because their hearing is much stronger than a human's, plus they can hear the voices of nature. So you wouldn't be able to sneak up on an elf--they'd hear you coming from a long way off.
3. Galia and the other elves are actually fair-skinned--pale skin is a bit of a rarity, the Forest of Dawn is sunny all year round, and most elves are out in it all day.
4. Yes, they do live in a forest, but they have enchanted the soil of the glens where their towns are, allowing crops to grow.
Yes, they have a strong connection to nature, but they also do not fear technology, and are renowned for crafting weapons and magic items. Some have also settled among other races.
5. Elves on Shokiyu have longer lifespans than humans, and their intelligence will reflect that.
6. The elven civilization is alive and well. They are ruled by a monarch and a ruling council. The monarch (the High Elf King or Queen) receives guests and presides over the ruling council, but does not step in until s/he is asked.
The current ruler, Fion, is friendly to all, and has an infectous joy in all he does that makes him loved and well liked among his people and among other races. This doesn't mean he is happy-go-lucky--he knows how to take charge and is quite the cunning opponent when the situation requires it.
7. Shokiyan elves are not as delicate as you think they are--their houses are no different from human houses, except that plant parts, flowers, and other natural items factor heavily in the decor. They do do chores, but they have magic to help them, including taking out trash to be recycled and hanging laundry.
8. On the other side of the coin, they are not flawless saviors--even Galia doesn't know everything about the world
