History Little is known about the Nepheliads, because they usually keep to themselves. They travel alone, or in tight clusters, building refuge in the most secure and hidden areas. Some of them find homes in other cities or lands, some leave the group to find their own calling, and some simply stay with their fellow Nepheliads. The only thing that people are sure of with their race, is that they originated from somewhere in Wind Reach. Generally antisocial and quiet, they are highly skilled in doll-making and puppet-making. Their dolls usually look as if they could come alive. The Nepheliads love their dolls very much, and in turn begin to resemble dolls themselves. They usually have pale white porcelain skin, glassy bright eyes, and a face that is usually schooled to nonchalance. They have long, silver or white gold hair, and love to wear pastel-colored dresses. Nepheliads are very cold, unfeeling and act very lifeless, just like the dolls that they make. They have very sweet and angelic voices though, which ultimately makes up for their stone-cold personalities.
