Elves are a fictional race known for their long ears, colorful hair, and affinity for powerful magic. While not every elf falls under that umbrella, the best elves in anime can be some of the most helpful characters around. They're usually much older than the characters around them, thanks to elves' ability to age much slower than humans, and can bring a lot of wisdom to their respective series. Each elf has a distinct personality too.

Some elves, like Elinalise Dragonroad from Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation are the first to head into battle, charging in with a sword in hand. Other elves, like Frieren from Frieren, would rather sit back and let her warrior Stark handle it instead. No matter what type of elf is in a series, they usually add a visible level of stoicism and intelligence to every party they're in.
