Their hair is golden to light blonde, their skin fair and their eyes green or blue in color, reflecting the lakes and forests Veela live in or close to. They are renown for their extreme beauty and have the appearance of blonde, young women dressed in white robes who can bewitch any man with their song or dance. Veela or Vila are a race of magical beings originally native to the eastern parts of Europe and western Russia. Depending on the strength of the Veela it can take up to 4 generations of intermarriage with humans for those qualities to diminish to the point where their heritage is no longer noticeable. The descendants of Veela and humans are labelled as half or part-Veela and always inherit some of the traits of their other-worldly ancestors, most notably their immense beauty. Veela are a female-only race in the sense that there is no male Veela, which does not mean that they do not reproduce with males, only that the term Veela is limited to females only.

Half-veelas are the offspring, or the descendants of an offspring, of a Veela and a human male.
