Alright lets settle this right now -Female Elf

Hexxagone

Is the female elf from the trailers an Altmer or a Bosmer?

Im pretty sure she is a Bosmer since they would be easier to "bring to life" so to speak for a trailer, and her hair/skin looks Bosmeric.

I know the 3 are supposed to represent the leaders of the factions but I think the pretty female elf is the exception.

Sarenia

ESO's Bosmer have cat-like eyes.

It's possible they didn't reflect this for one reason or another. But based purely on that, I would say it's an Altmer.

Shimond

I think she's an Altmer. But since she's a class that doesn't exist in the game anywhere (badass lightning witch?) it really doesn't matter :P

I don't recall every detail of the trailor, but "lightning witch" could translate to a Sorceress with the Stormcalling skill line.

dagnome

Her height and apparent affinity for non-nature magic lend that she is inherently Altmer.

dpayne83_ESO

Her affinity to more arcane-appearing magic would scream Altmer. For me Bosmer faces are far more angular with the above mentioned cat-like eyes. That and they tend to wear more nature themed clothing. So i would say Altmer.

Shimond

Maybe, but her lightning had different colors and apparently properties (like the ability to grab people and ragdoll toss them).

And magic that typically interacts with objects is in the arcane family, so again Altmer.

Reavan

Altmer.
Just without the excrete coloured skin.
Shes also quite tall.

Hexxagone

hmm maybe she is a mixed elf, half altmer and half bosmer

Thechemicals

That kind of power, no way she can be Bosmer.

Supersomething

This was a debate? I immediately assumed she was a Altmer from the very first trailer.

driosketch

You can tell by the height. Altmer and Bosmer are at opposite extremes of the scale.

that is true

Delte

She is an Altmer if you look at her soldiers with her they are Bosmer and there is a huge difference.

dreildragb14_ESO

She's a unnamed elf class that's coming out when the market hits. CHACHING! another $20 into the wind!

Nah but serious I dunno.

crusabella

Really she's a bad portrayal of eso elves period. What really gets me is that she has human eye's.

Hexxagone

I still think she is mixed, either half bosmer or half human

Willow

She is Bosmer with probably a bit of human. Her hair is redder than the High Elves hair and her head piece is silver.

High Elves only have gold head pieces.

pysgod1978b14_ESO

Or perhaps an Ayleid or Chimer that gets discovered.

Saihung423

I'd say Altmer, does she have a "I'm better than you" attitude? If so, then definitely Altmer.

Sarenia

Previous idea of a mixed heritage could also be true.

There is mixing of species in Tamriel, they just aren't physically represented for reasons I imagine are practical. Creating "half-bloods" of every racial combination would add drastically to design overhead.

Moonscythe

I always took her to be an Altmer Sorceress. She doesn't have the eyes or the ears of a Bosmer. The three appear to be of the same race as the leaders of their alliance though obviously she's not queen Ayrenn. I don't think she has a better than you attitude in the trailers but she sure has a take charge approach when she whips lightening around the anchor.

Ogod no. For me it's those frelling corn-husk ears. I HATE them. WoW really screwed up with the overly large ears, and somehow....people ate it up.
Much preferred the way elf ears were done in the LotR movies. Vulcan-like.

That said, -I- think she's the Green Lady. Bosmer.

I was thinking this yesterday . It kind of makes sense.

LadyChaos

she's no covered in enough dirt or leftover animal horns/parts from last weeks dinner to be Bosmer...

BBQ orc ribs - delicious AND an excellent source of body armor!

Nox_Aeterna

Really?

Mate , she clearly is an altmer sorc.

I really thought the golden skin alone would have given it away :P.

Mannimarco has silver-white hair and a black head piece in the trailer. And I'm pretty sure he's an Altmer.

OT: My Septims are on Altmer Sorcerer.

Her ears are rotated forward with the ear tip flair. Very typical of a woodelf.
