Lightfoot Halfling(standard halfling)

Lightfoot halflings, also known as hairfeet or Luiren halflings,were the most common type of halflings seen in the world, in large part due to their famous wanderlust, which set them apart from the relatively sedentary ghostwise and strongheart halflings. Lightfoots were most comfortable living alongside other cultures, even adopting their cultural practices, right down to their deities.

Lightfoots were among the most affable and good-natured halflings. They were typically curious about others and very open to sharing about themselves. Altogether these aspects of their personalities kindled fast courtships and friendships with others. These were often brief, for most lightfoots innately felt a sense of wanderlust that compelled them to not stay in one place for too long. Though lightfoots were very loyal and such relationships were genuine, some felt the way they so deftly parted ways made those friendships disingenuous.
Due to their personalities many races stereotyped lightfoots as being fickle and flighty in nature, being unreliable and easily distracted. However, despite the impression they gave such races, these halflings were very cunning, opportunistic, and resourceful individuals.

The average lightfoot halfling stood around 3 ft (0.91 m) and weighed around 30‒45 lb (14‒20 kg). Lightfoots displayed the same range of skin tones, hair colors, and eye hues as humans. Though they were most frequently seen to have brown or black hair and black, brown, or hazel eyes. Their skin also typically had a ruddy complexion.Facial hair was relatively rare, with men at most sporting long sideburns or the occasional beard, and women sometimes sporting short sideburns. Mustaches were extremely rare. When not adventuring or entertaining others, lightfoots preferred to wear simple, well-made clothing that was comfortable to wear, yet looked attractive, favoring those with bright colors.

Lightfoots formed tight-knit communities, especially in the cities of other races. Some traveled in small bands, often switching members when they come across another band, while others traveled in clans made up of several extended families. Members of such communities often packed up and collectively moved together to locations that offered new or better opportunities. Some communities just moved regularly, embracing a nomadic lifestyle. When communities traveled they typically did so in wagons or boats.Lightfoots adored keeping pets, for the sake of both protection and companionship. They often kept some form of large hound. Another common animal kept were foxes, who they admired for their stealthiness and cunning

Strongheart Halfling

Strongheart halflings, also known as stout halflings and stoutheart halflings, or the good folk by other races, were a subrace of halfling
Strongheart halflings were moderately shorter and stockier than their lightfoot kin. They also had a greater tendency for wearing armor of all kinds. Their skin tones and hair colors roughly ranged the same gamut as humans. Though brown, blond, and black hair were most common. Their eyes tended to be blue or green.Both male and female stronghearts were incapable of growing beards or mustaches, though they were known to grow sideburns down to mid-cheek. Members of both genders often plaited these sideburns into long braids.

There was very little that could upset most stronghearts or corrupt them. Their outlook on life stressed cooperation above all else, with one's skill in teamwork being among the most valued of behaviors in their lands. Some races stereotyped them as being fat or lazy due to their sedentary nature and love of fine food. However, they were simply patient as well as very industrious. They put great emphasis on quality.

Stronghearts lived a semi-nomadic lifestyle. With businesses, families, and even whole clans moving around Luiren.Many stout halflings took the up the profession of a jeweler, stonecutter,[6] weaver, woodcutter, potter, basket maker, painter, or farmer. Due to their industrious nature, emphasis on quality, and nimble hands they tended to excel in most of these professions
