@Prints Avoid There is also a lot of realistic dark elf art out there, too. Deviantart might be a good source, just be sure to credit original creators.
I threw Kiara up into the characters section already. She's now a 19 year old first year, so, still a newbie! I only made minor changes to her appearance description in faerie form, something that may or may not have to do with her future powers (I'm honestly still trying to figure out what I want them to be...)
In Depth Physical Description: Kiki’s most memorable feature is her thick mane of loose, cherry red curls. Her ivory skin is surprisingly freckle-free, a hint at her supernatural ancestry. Kiki’s eyes are a pale grey by default, but they change color depending on her mood, although a simple glamour can cover that if she chooses. Kiara stands at a short 5 foot 2 inches and is fairly thin; some might even describe her as skeletal. Despite her petite, human-like frame, an aura of menace tends to surround KiKi, and she relishes in the fear it can draw out in others. In her true faerie form, Kiki has wings, pointed canines and inscisors, and her skin is a light gray, full of cracks a fissures, as if she was made of stone; Her hair also floats around her as if she is hovering underwater. Personality: Kiara isn’t your average Unseelie faerie; although she feeds off of negative emotions, she likes to have a good time. Unless they are as troublesome as her, making friends has never been her strong suit, but finding lovers seems to come easily enough. Kiara is strikingly attractive and worse yet, she knows it, using these looks to invoke both lust and envy - some of her favorite flavors. At a young 19 years, Kiki is but a child in terms of a faerie lifespan, although she hasn't physically matured much past this age of 18, and won't for appear aged for a long, long time. Kiki has a lot to learn about both herself and the faerie world. She came to this school from the faerie realm in order to learn how to control her powers and better conceal herself using glamour. Right now, the use of glamour doesn’t come quite so easily, and her eyes will suddenly change color, or her wings will sprout out unintentionally. Once she learns to control it completely, Kiki hopes to travel to the human realm to cause mischief and mayhem alongside some of her old friends from the Unseelie Court. Hobbies: Practicing elaborate make-up designs on herself and others, painting/drawing (the fine arts in general), learning about plants and potion-making with the witches. Familiar:
Extra: She can fly, but is not very gracefully yet. Kiki was also born to a particularly powerful set of parents, her father being descended from Moriganne herself, so she has some innate dark powers that she has yet to discover.

It's been over a year since I've written creatively but here I am again.
