Arthian (3.5e Race)

Arthian

Personality

Arthian are usually whimsical creatures, although maybe to the point of being manipulative to get what they want. They often change direction without warning and generally do as they please and possess charming and easygoing natures. Dispite this, Arthian are quick-witted and absently observant. They're also swift at switching sides when provoked; one minute an ally, and the next minute an enemy. However, they are forgiving, despite appearances, and are more likely to follow than lead. Overall, they are graceful in movement, but since they are always seen happy, what they really think and feel remain a mystery.
