Who are some of the best, most notable elf characters out there? Usually, I don't even bother remembering elf names, opting to just remember them as "the elf character". I'm curious if there are any elves that particularly stand out from the competition for you.
lord of the rings elf seems to be the most accurate archetype minus the magic. since elves are supposed to be great archers and have natural attunement to magic.
Uh, yes this typical school girl elf from unknown sources is an ideal projection as to elven identity. Good work, this is defiantly a high tier elf.
Legolas. My first elven exposure. And he puts "Elves --> The best archers" stereotype to my brain. Until the japanese version distorted it of course... As for the light novel, it is Nephy
...There's an anime for that one? Man, I should really pay more attention to that sort of thing. Or not since I never find the adaptations quite as good as the manga.
Drizzt is the benchmark of any and all dark elves are measure. With that being said none have ever really surpassed him either. Their have been warriors that match him and fewer still who arguably is stronger than him. But as dark elves go. None is better. I love Drizzt so much I even quote him in my signature on the bottom.
