The blistering temperatures of their home creates usually a darker pigment of skin, although they are known to vary among the different groups and tribes. Their hair is often dark, black being the most common but like all people variations are seen and hairstyles can range greatly and often depict ones status; the higher the status the more elaborate they may become. From braided ponytails or long flowing curls for women, to short, shaved or tied back for men. They wear light and baggy clothing, adopting materials that are breathable and most keep with them some sort of cloak or head cover to protect themselves from the heat. The Haranae tend to be a rather bold, flashy and even greedy people, accessories including bone, beads, and even gold. And many carry pouches with them to barter and trade goods and gold.
