After reaching maturity, younglings ears will shift to conform to one of the four lengths: Measurements are conducted from the base of the triangular fossa to the tip of the helix. Each ear length has been found to associate with specific characteristics. These characteristics can present themselves before becoming full fae, though they are very diluted.
