Hiya- Coming in hot with a QUESTION!
Making a Human/Snow Elf mix race, I wanted to know what ratio of the two races will be recessive or dominant in the gene pool for physical design. Is it one dominants the other completely? Or can it be half in half, where she can be tall and have white hair with tanner skin but thicker body? Or, maybe one is more 20% and the other is 80% dominant. I never really find pages to help detail about mixed races, so any help would appreciated.
Note: Also to explain- In terms I am making her Snow Elven/Hispanic. Got inspired by a commission I’m doing, thought she’d be fun for a fresh start.

skin color, height, hair color etc. are polygenic which makes this a complicated genetics question but a very simple character design question: the answer is anything goes. you should create your half-elf in a way that you think is interesting and evokes something about their character
the one thing to remember is halfbreeds between descendant races have both curses from both parents in full strength. I personally think this is stupid but if you’re going for rigorous lore correctness that’s something to keep in mind
