====Plant Biology====

Yanar are often ~~understood~~ to be plant-like through and through as if their interior blood vessels are filled with water or green ichor, and their organs are made of leafage also. When a Yanar is cut open in dissection, they look no different from a standard Teled Elf on the inside. Their appearance of plant, flower, fruit, and bark, is often skin-deep, and while aspects that appear visible on the outside like eyes, nails, hair, and bones may appear differently, Yanar are biologically compatible with all other peoples of Aloria. Yanar are capable subjects of blood transfusions or organ transplants, and regular doctoral surgery techniques work on them just as well, so long as it concerns the interior. Mending open skin wounds, however, is more difficult, and usually relies on healing Magic. Most conventional Regalian doctors do not know how to suture a bark-skin wound caused by a sword, so Yanar often seek alchemical or magical healing instead of conventional surgery. Most healing shops or hospitals that are capable of treating Yanar have a "Yanar Admitted" sign on the outside, to identify that they have doctors who can treat Yanar for surface injuries.

====Senlon and Fenlon====

Yanar distinguish between two lifestyles, Senlon being "to live among the Freefolk primarily" and Fenlon being "to live among urban citizens primarily". While Yanar are a proud and strong component of the Freefolk people, they are also keenly aware that the habit of Selvath to isolate in the woodlands, and the Erythar to live underground, isolates them from the outside world. The Yanar can fluently flow between the urban societies that they often live near, and seek out the pragmatism of showing urban citizens that they can integrate among them while retaining their old customs and habits. While the Selvath would probably deride one of their kind living among city Elves and wearing their clothes and abstaining from the Wyld Hunt and Wyld Feast, Yanar are more commonly accepted to be the emissaries of the Freefolk, and thus their integration outside of Freefolk communes is considered a benefit and a pragmatic solution to their otherwise self-imposed isolation.
