Description
Young human children, usually no older than eleven in appearance. They always wear green tunics, with Link-style small caps for boys and headbands for girls. Their hair colors can range from red to yellow to brown, to even green. Another distinct feature is that they each have a fairy that follows them as their lifelong companion, almost an extension of them.
History
When the first Great Deku Tree was born, it grew lonely in the middle of the vast forest, so it brought to being the Kokiri, the children of the forest, to raise like a parent. Since then, Great Deku Trees have created Kokiri to help tend to their forests, with the Great Deku Tree of the Tetra Isles being the exception with Korok.
Culture
The Kokiri live like children, and act like children as well(although females seem to be more mature). Every day in their forest homes is a day of play and fun, and the only amount of work they do is to look for food and work on their tree homes. They revere their Great Deku Tree like a parent and listen obediently to him.
Kokiri are not xenophobic at the least, for like children, are very curious about things that come through their forest. However, they are also very comfortable where they live, and very few Kokiri have set foot outside the forest. Most believe that they would cease to exist if they did so, though since Kokiri rarely ever bother to return to the forest after leaving, the Kokiri of the forest simply don't know any better.
Abilities
Kokiri have the fighting potential of small children. They can be equipped with weapons of their size or learn magics to assist, but they are still quite petite and thus difficult to use in combat.
Kokiri are separate from other races in their fairy, of which every Kokiri has. The fairy speaks in tinkerbell talk and can only be understood by the Kokiri. Fairies, besides having slight healing auras from their very presence and making excellent sources of light are also very sensitive of the environment around them both naturally and magically, and can sense and detect things that other races would not, relaying what they've noticed to their Kokiri comrades. They can also detect things that are invisible or hidden.
It is important to note that while the Kokiri are immortal in the sense that they never age, this does not mean that they cannot be diseased or killed.
