Physical Description

Hair

The Valgarins have quite pale hair - white, palest blonde, honey, blonde, strawberry blonde, ash brown, and so forth. Some of the men and women dye their hair various shades of red and black from berries found native to their lands, however the dyes are not great and the color comes out with a matte finish, unlike the rich colors of the desert or snake people. The men grow thick long beards that they often braid. The women tend to wear their hair shoulder length, eschewing very long hair. They are also likely to where their hair up in plaits or pony tails, and decorate them with beads, feathers and polished clips.

Adornments on the body

Makeup and perfumes are uncommon in this culture. Yet Celtic knot work tattoos are often worn on the arms, legs or high on the cheekbone.

The men are thick chested, and the women curvaceous yet muscled. The women rarely have any extra weight on them, however they are a big boned people and their body type is statuesque. The Zuberi men find the Valgarin women to be very attractive.

Faces

The faces of the Valgarin are all sharp planes and contrasts. Heavy cheek bones, strong chins, thin strong noses and regular shaped eyes under heavy eyebrows. Ears are rounded. Eye color is usually very pale shades of blue, green and even silver.

Life Span
