elf
A fantastical humanoid race characterized by their lithe frame, great finesse, youthful appearance despite long lifespans, and pointy ears. Codified by Tolkienian literature.
In anime-styled works, elves' characteristic were further stylized into simply a "human with pointy ears", with them almost always have blonde hair. Many works (particularly NSFW) also exploit elves' longetivity by either depicting them as being more endowed than ordinary human or as a "loli baba" (mature adult in child-like body) stereotypes.
