[DF] Arctic Elf Template

Hey Folks,

I am looking at having a DF game set in the far North, and it makes sense to have some Arctic Races, including Arctic Elves. So I need to come up with a template. I have lots of options when it comes to advantages that make sense, but two main ones are shown below. Any thoughts on which might be better in play? Or if a different option of advantages is suggested?

Thanks.

Arctic elves dwell in the land of ice and snow, with the midnight sun, and where the cold winds blow (or something like that). They are reclusive and famed for …

While fine-featured, they aren’t exactly attractive. Maybe it’s the bluish skin and hair.
