Method 1
Method 1 of 2:

Acting

  1. 1
    Try to act mature. Just because you're mature doesn't mean you can't have fun.
  2. 2
    Be kind to everyone and everything. Never harm a living creature that doesn't have any reason to be harmed.

  3. 3
    Love nature. Visit woods, lakes and forests often.
  4. 4
    Have fun, do things like climb trees, sit or relax on them. Elves are agile and light on their feet. Try doing sports. Act wishful while looking at nature. For example look sad while blowing a dandelion.
  5. 5
    Don't be afraid to stand up and fight (non-violently) for what you believe in.
  6. 6
    Learn how to use a bow and arrow. This is not necessary but it can be quite fun. Also you can try to learn how to make your own bow in the Toy Weaponry section of wikiHow.
  7. 7
    Even though elves are quiet, you still got to be yourself, if you're at school don't be shy. Talk little and melody like.

Method 2 of 2:

Dressing

  1. 1
    Wood elves mainly wear various shades of brown, silver, green, cream, and blue. Do not wear very revealing or tight clothes. Instead, try more flowing styles.
  2. 2
    Wear necklaces and bracelets with leaves, trees on them.
  3. 3
    If you want to go authentic wood elf wear a cloak (hooded cape) with a tunic (two pieces of cloth sewn together at the shoulders) and leggings of the colours above with long leather boots.
  4. 4
    Wear your hair down most of the time. If you want you can French-braid your bangs if they are long enough.
  5. 5
    Hair and skin color do not matter for this look.
  6. 6
    Make your own or purchase a pair of elf ears from your local party store or online.

    If you do, they should look organic. Barefoot might be your best bet though.

    In order to be a highly respected wood elf you must learn how to fight. As you rise in the elven ranks, you will soon become their leader.
  • Question
    Should I speak without using too many shortened words such as don't, won't and others like that?

    You should still use them. Just be careful not to use them too much or too less.

  • Avoid surgically making your ears pointed! This is permanent and can not be undone. Tape the point of your ears together or use adhesive fake elf ears.
