Healergirl,<br/><br/>That's what I thought ~_^<br/><br/>MdG,<br/><br/>From what you wrote about the wood elves, your summary on their culture, it inspired me to think about it a bit more and I was going to do the same thing so there is some idea of a theme. And yes, I know its a trope but I wanted them to be like the "high" elves I think you mentioned before. In the Tolkien sense. Also metaphorically, being the mountains cold and distant but warm deep down ^_^ And what you described about personal space and intimacy is right along the lines of what I've been thinking as a contrast to the forest cousins.
