Half-elf

Half-elves are a race of people from the world of Aseria who play large roles in both Tales of Phantasia and Tales of Symphonia. Throughout both games, the player comes to learn of how they are hated and oppressed by the other people and just why this has come to happen.

Oppression
Half-elves are born when an elf and a human have a child together and as such they carry traits from both races of people (namely, a human-shaped body and the elfish ability to use magic). However, this has caused many to hate the half-elves with humans complaining about their power being too much for them and the elves believing that they have tainted blood.
