Time for updating to a usable format.
| Quote: | Sephi
Disney Canon: Species from the planet Isobe, who boasted long life and an affinity with droids and machinery. They have long tapered ears that can twitch, swivel and flatten in accordance with the emotional state. Their skin tones include lavender and peach, and their eyes are green or blue.
Legends: The Sephi are a species of sentient humanoids. Outwardly, they are similar in appearance to Human stock, the key difference being their long, pointed ears. Like most humanoids, the Sephi have two sexes, male and female; with the latter being distinguished by noticeable breasts and a different hairline. Many Sephi are tall and healthy-looking, with a narrow waistline and long-fingered hands. However, smaller and overweight individuals are not unheard of.
While many Sephi have pale, purplish skin, some have more Human-like skintones. Their eyes are typically black or brown. Their long, straight hair ranges in color from black through blond to gray and white. Depending on personal status, it is common for upper-class Sephi to fashion their hair into thick spirals adorned with gemstones and other decorations, making it a source of personal pride. Males also have a distinct V-shaped growth of hair toward the center of their forehead, in addition to a receding hairline. The female hairline, however, forms an upside down U and is located closer to the eyebrows.
The Sephi are a long-lived species, with elder individuals living for more than 200 years, possibly up to 400. They can interbreed with several other species, including Arkanians and Humans.
The Sephi formed a space-level civilization led by a monarch. Due to the species' longevity, Sephi sovereigns tend to stay in place for a long time. Sephi culture is exemplified by elegance and sophistication in art, which is reflected in the delicate design of their walkers, flyers and tanks.
The Sephi evolved on Thustra, a terrestrial planet located in the eponymous star system of the Sumitra sector, in the Expansion Region of the galaxy. They have had contact with the wider galactic community, specifically the Arkanians, approximately since the fifth millennium before the Battle of Yavin.
At some point in their history, the Sephi joined the Galactic Republic. For centuries, they stood as staunch defenders of the Republic, and the Sephi monarch exerted a powerful influence over the neighboring systems. They were also in good terms with the Jedi Order.
However, 22 BBY, the Clone Wars erupted between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Sixteen months after the First Battle of Geonosis, King Alaric chose to rally to Dooku in response to the rampant corruption of the Republic's Galactic Senate. Yoda, who was an old friend of Alaric, was forced to lead a clone army against the Sephi forces. While the Jedi sought to end the conflict peacefully, Alaric unwaveringly refused to change his allegiance. In the meantime, the corrupt loyalist Senator Navi, who represented the Sephi in the Galactic Senate, tried to manipulate the Republic into restoring order on Thustra through military force. To that end, he tricked the Republic into attacking the Sephi forces, making them think they had killed Yoda.

A year late to the discussion, but since I rolled randomly that an NPC would be a Sephi, I figured I'd chime in.
Apparently they're sort of like Space Cat Elves.

Should that be noticeable rather than "prominent." The descriptors spark very different images in my imagination. |
