Blossom Shifter (5e Race)

Blossom Shifter

Physical Description

A blossom shifter is of completely humanoid shape. They have soft pastel colored skin that matches in color to whichever flower they prefer, though their skin is not solidly that color as they have lighter spots all over them that vaguely resemble the dapples on a horse. Their hair starts at the scalp white, and the further down it goes, the darker it gets, ending in a deep shade of their chosen color. Their irises are almost the same shade as the bottom of their hair, give or take a few shades either way. Their bone structure is often soft and gentle, like the subtle curves of a flower.

History

Despite not actually being related to any type of flower, the blossom shifters got their name by looking like humanoid flowers and having the ability to slightly shift their appearance to even resemble other creatures, though their natural colorings usually give them away. Their initial shift is always into the color that they are naturally, but they can then slight shift to a more natural color for whatever species they have chosen. Despite their relatively kind nature, blossom shifters are often distrusted by those who see them shift, as they are sometimes mistaken for doppelgangers.

Society

Blossom shifter society is all about kindness and compassion toward those around you, as in all societies, there are some who differ from the norm, but you will never find anyone still living in this society who is strictly malevolent, it just doesn't happen. Blossom shifters originated in the Feywilds.
