I enjoyed the way the elves looked in Skyrim. They were more than pretty humans with pointy ears.

That's all Ayrenn is. Ah, nuts...After looking at the picture, it seems that you're right! I have to say, I really liked how the developers of Skyrim gave them all such unique features. The Orcs, for example, looked so much more personable in that game, that the traditional, "ugly" portrayals of other fantasy media look like a WWII stereotype. The Elves especially, for they weren't the "universally attractive" humanoids like you described, but one could easily look past (or develop a liking for) the unusual shape of their eyes, mouth and whatnot, like the traits of real-life races.

All that said and done, I've a personal soft spot for the Ebonheart Pact, and while for me it's hard to choose between the three equally impressive portraits and leaders, Ayrenn is a pretty impressive leader and character so far, looks aside.
