Sorcerer video link for tomorrow. Will create a thread for it in the morning and probably try to do a video breakdown, time permitting, should no one else get to it first.

Is that main Iconic Sorcerer a Tiefling, or is she an Elf with a funky hairdo?

Elf (presumably drow) with a Rita Repulsa-style hairdo going on, I think.

There's a picture where she's right next to the Iconic Bard who's a Tiefling, but this sorceress could actually be an Aasimar.

looks more like a moon elf to me - they're the blue/purple ones; drow are grey

There is a glowing eye magical effect here, but it looks different from the solid glowing eyes of the Aasimar we have seen.

It would make sense for the doubled-up Spwcies/Class iconic to be Elves and Humans, all things considered.

Yeah, ashen grey, and with snow white hair.

Quite possible - not a big FR guy, so the finer distinctions between the various FR-specific elf variants get lost on me at times.

Also drow often get conflated with Warcraft night elves in my head, at least design-wise, which have a wide range of skin-tones, mostly purples and blues, but some even in the brighter pink range.

Yeah, it's kid of a deep cut into DnD lore since they usually have the exact same stats as sun elves (being the two main types of high elves) - but Warcraft night elves look like FR moon elves. Drow have their own distinct look.

In the past decade, WotC has put most (though not all, there are standard Humam skin tone Elves, too) Elves on a Blue-Pirple scale.
