Haela possess a wide variety of skin colours, body types, and facial features. Generally speaking, Haela’ skin colour assumes a darker hue - resembling their close ancestors. At the same time, bone structure, hair colour and texture, eye colour, and a host of facial and bodily phenotype characteristics vary immensely from one locale to another. Cheekbones may be high or broad, noses aquiline or flat, and lips full or thin; eyes range wildly in hue, some deep set in their sockets, and others with full epicanthic folds. Appearance is hardly random, of course, and familial, tribal, or national commonalities often allow the knowledgeable to identify a Haelas place of origin on sight, or at least to hazard a good guess. Their origins are also indicated through their traditional styles of bodily decoration, not only in the clothing or jewellery worn, but also in elaborate hairstyles, piercing, tattooing, and even scarification. Most Haela were born away from the south - travelling with Dilettantes and other nomadic tribes for the majority of their life.
