I might add the "definitions" I use when guiding my elven personalities. See Humorism and the Four Temperaments.

Earth (melancholic)

A person who is a thoughtful ponderer has a melancholic disposition. Often very kind and considerate, melancholics can be highly creative – as in poetry and art - but also can become overly pre-occupied with the tragedy and cruelty in the world, thus becoming depressed. A melancholic is also often a perfectionist, being very particular about what they want and how they want it in some cases. This often results in being dissatisfied with one's own artistic or creative works and always pointing out to themselves what could and should be improved. They are often loners and most times choose to stay alone and reflect.

Air (sanguine)

A person who is sanguine is generally light-hearted, funloving, a people person, loves to entertain, spontaneous, leader abilities, and confident. However they can be arrogant, cocky, and indulgent. He/She can be day-dreamy and off-task to the point of not accomplishing anything and can be impulsive, possibly acting on whims in an unpredictable fashion.

Water (phlegmatic)

While phlegmatic are generally self-content and kind, their shy personality can often inhibit enthusiasm in others and make themselves lazy and resistant to change. They are very consistent, relaxed, rational, curious, and observant, making them good administrators and diplomats. Like the sanguine personality, the phlegmatic has many friends. However the phlegmatic is more reliable and compassionate; these characteristics typically make the phlegmatic a more dependable friend.

Fire (choleric)

A person who is choleric is a doer. They have a lot of ambition, energy, and passion, and try to instill it in others. They can dominate people of other temperaments, especially phlegmatic types. Many great charismatic military and political figures were cholerics. On the negative side, they are easily angered or bad-tempered.

I think I would have earth nature, myself.

And just to see if your Astrological sign matches up (this has nothing to do with my elves):

• Earth - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
• Air - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
• Water - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
• Fire - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

He/She can be day-dreamy and off-task to the point of not accomplishing anything and can be impulsive, possibly acting on whims in an unpredictable fashion.

That is me in one sentence

Although I do see parts of myself in the other descriptions, I think Air matches up best for me personality-wise (I'm a Capricorn, an earth sign, but I've often been told I don't act like one). And it's funny because looking at the personality descriptions, my family could totally match a typical khirron two-parent, two-child, four-nature family structure. My dad would have water nature, my mom would have fire nature, I'd have air nature, and my brother would have earth nature.

What a great poll idea!

Despite that I'm a scorpio water doesen't fit me as well as Air. So I have Air nature.

Heh, I didn't even notice it took more than one answer. I still got Melancholy though.

Happy to know you're still with us! We don't get to see Wynflaed's face enough. (It's hard to reconcile Wynflaed with the choleric person behind her, however. )

Karen, if that was the opening line of a novel, I would buy it.

Definitely water! I'm a Cancer, as well, and have always loved water (swimming, showers, bafs) and have always hated/been afraid of fire. (Although that particular description makes me sound more earth-like, which is interesting. Most "water" descriptions I've read sound more like me.)
Fun poll!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm romantic, literary, cynical, and a diehard Alred Sebright groupie.

Reading the descriptions, I thought I was most like Water. I'm also a Pisces. People have told me I really seem like the stereotypical pisces I'm not sure if that's good or bad!!

edit: I took the test and it said I'm phlegmatic!!

I'm earf.

I really wish I had air or even earth nature, since it would help out so much in my profession, etc. but it's kind of hard to shake being a water nature. Oh well, at least I get to hang out in the tragically interesting group of Vash and friends...

So sayeth life, the world is mine
You can create great tombs of marble and stone
But love, you can never entomb
So spricht das Leben, the world is mine

I voted water, but once I read the descriptions, I really can't decide, there's something of me in all of them. Though if I had to pick, it would probably be earth.

Lol, the mixing of elf natures reminds me of the harvey dangerfield joke: "Of course our marriage doesn't work, I'm water and she's earth, all we do is make mud..." Hmmm, I'm beginning to wonder that the elves caught onto this early too, not just for biological reasons.
-------------------------------------------------------
So sayeth life, the world is mine
You can create great tombs of marble and stone
But love, you can never entomb
So spricht das Leben, the world is mine

Let's see...

Earth + Air = Dust or sandstorm?
Earth + Water = Mud
Earth + Fire = Fire being stamped out or banked a little?

Air + Water = Hurricane?
Air + Fire = Wildfire

Water + Fire = Ashes...after putting the fire out. Or steam. Like that better.

....Or something?

and Earth + Fire = a volcano

Astroglogically speaking I don't think you would. ^^ Taurus and Aries are both supposed to be too grounded for that, I think. Plus you have all those other planets, that are supposed to influence you too.

But look at Iylaine. I tried to imagine her with someone like Shus.... equals a volcano in my thinking. ^^

Edit: Would be funny to see you "errupt".

Haha, yeah. We'll see if it works out, but so far the "astrological" forecast looks good...the things that would normally cause problems between an Aries and Taurus don't apply in our case. As in, I'm not a spendthrift and I also prefer staying in to going out partying...most of the time.

It makes me curious about the astrological compatibility of some of our Lotherian couples.

I voted for Air and when I read the descriptions you wrote Lothere I thought it was fairly reasonable but I realised I am about half Earth then

Earth + Air = rock with lots of empty pore space maybe a basalt with lots of holes from gas bubbles

Here is the more me Airth description:

A person who is Airth is generally light-hearted, funloving, a people person, loves to entertain, spontaneous but also can become overly pre-occupied with the tragedy and cruelty in the world, thus becoming depressed. He/She can be day-dreamy and off-task to the point of not accomplishing anything.

I think I am more Air than Earth though I do have that melancholic tendency. I took the online quiz and it put me firmly as sanguine.

My starsign is Pisces and I don't really believe those things. My aunt once told me there are two types of Pisces the ones who swim downstream and go with the flow and those who go upstream. I guess that makes me a salmon

Lol, I love your description, Verity.

The test put me as Phlegmatic, but I don't think it's accurate at all. According to my therapist I'm intelligent + independent + rebellious = difficult person. So I guess that makes me Fire/Air? What nature does a difficult person have? Mmm... what's Lar's nature again? XD

Air describes me so well it is creepy...I took the quiz and got Sanguine.
