This is in a fantasy world where they don’t care about race (because it’s my world and bigotry is kicked out) but I’m just looking for a poetic way to describe my characters and I need a lot of them because it’s going to be love interests and other main characters so physical descriptions need to be on point lol

Ooo I like the idea of using crystal/gem descriptions like onyx or obsidian! Thank you for all the ideas!
