Half-elves are usually a solid mix of their two parents. They gain the elves' grace but none of their elegant frailty. Most half-elves are well-adjusted, but some are shunned by one side of the family or the other and grow resentful. Others may even be mistreated. Their lifespans are closer to their human parent than those of their elven kin. Most half-elves live only to about 100 years.
Heritage: Some half-elves retain the grace of their elven parent. Others gain the adaptability of their human ancestry. A half-elf may either start with a free
Edge of his choice (as a human), or a d6 in
Agility instead of a d4.

outsiders (as per the Hindrance of the same name), but neither are they ever quite comfortable around humans or elves as one of their own, so the effect is the same.
