[QUOTE="BOZ, post: 4274038, member: 1241"] OK, at this point we are considering non-essential text to trim out of the article. I'd like to keep as much as necessary to be able to understand the kender, and get rid of extraneous details that are likely to be appreciated only by avid fans. Take a look at this passage from [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation/Kender/Trim#Appearance_and_traits]this section[/url]. I was thinking of cutting the items that I put in italics. If you think some of that is important to keep, let me know. "In ''Dragons of the Autumn Twilight'', Kender are described as "small boned, rarely more than 4 feet tall". In ''The Annotated Chronicles'', Jeff Grubb describes them as being "wilder than halflings, fearless, sometimes cruel as only children can be...savage, warrior children, ever curious, ever alert. Like elves, kender have pointed ears and slightly slanted, almond-shaped eyes. [i]Their eye color ranges from green, blue and brown to any combination of those colors. Kenders grow wrinkles at a very young age, and these are seen as attractive by many kender (some kendermaids try to grow them through various methods, much like humans and other races try to remove them). [/i] Kender hair color is usually brown or black[i], with occasional kenders bearing red/orange and blond hair. Their hair is usually a lighter shade than other races because of all the time they spend outside.[/i] A generic kender hairstyle is the ''topknot'', where the hair is grown long and then tied up in a knot on the top of the head. A kender's topknot is usually a source of pride for them. [i]Temple braids are a sign of noble descent among kender.[/i] Kender tend to have high pitched voices[i], but their body allows them to make a wide range of noises, making them apt ventriloquists, animal imitators, and many other roles.
