This term refers to anyone who has one fae parent, whether it be a seal with a Selkie parent or a human with a High Fae parent.
These halflings possess many of their fae parent's gifts, but also their failings. Most importantly: they've inherited their mortality from their mortal parent. They might be faster, smarter, more attractive than their mortal counterparts, but they can still die the same way.
Halflings usually reside in the mortal realm as they are looked down on in Faerie. In the mortal realm, though, they are usually revered among the mortals and achieve cult status in whatever way they choose (beauty, brains, brawn – whatever they choose to pursue). Mortals will follow them to the ends of the Earth.
