Skin tones range from a light blue to sea foam green, and any color found in the ocean in-between. Their faces are narrow and their ears are pointed and often a full foot in length. Facial hair is often sparse, with small and well trimmed moustaches being the common wear for those elves that can grow them.

Wings are colored the same as their hair and one color deviation up and down on a scale of red-orange-yellow-green-blue-indigo-violet-and back to red. Those that loose respect for nature have their colors turn to grays and are no longer considered fey but are called drey.

Recently there was a shift in the ley lines that has caused the Permenex to get prophetic dreams that are seen as a form of spirit quest. This has casued the mostly secluded race to venture out into the world to try to carry out these visions. Those that complete the spirit quest gain a slight aura to them that is seen in the ethereal plane and is a sign of prestigue for the race.
