General Description and Biology
Halfling are miniaturized humans. They are short, but not stocky. They do
not look like children, but simply small humans. They are generally
proportional, though they do tend to have large feet and hands. Their hair
tends to be wavy or curly, but straight is not completely unheard of. Their
features vary much like humans, making size their distinction. They have a
very strong sense of taste, more so than almost any other race. Their high
metabolism makes drives them to eat several meals in a day or they get
cranky.

Society Structure
Community is very important to halflings. While it may be their halfling
community, it may also be their found community. They thrive around others
and have a knack for understanding people and intention. Marriage is
important to halfling as is the understanding of their family tree. Most can
recite their family several generations back and several branches wide. It
is not uncommon for them to know who their cousin on their mother's side
twice removed through marriage is.
