Classify Sandra Elflein & Fiona Rüggeberg (Faun)

[Siebenbürgerin]

How would you classify these two ladies?

Sandra Elflein















Fiona Rüggeberg

[Oski]

Sandra Elflein: Alpinid + Nordid?

Fiona Rüggeberg: Faelid + Nordid

Where are these people from?



p.s. - The one hundred words rule really sucks and makes this part of skadi a real pain.

They're from Germany, both.

Hrodnand explained the existence of this rule, it's only for the classifications area, because a classification like "Alpinid + Nordid" isn't enough if peoples want to learn. For me, who aren't an anthropology expert, I must know which are the Nordid and Alpinid features, so I can learn to identify them in peoples.

The Alpinid about Sandra Elflein, is the roundness of the face, the robustness? I mean explanations like that.

Anyone can google these terms (alpinid, nordid etc) and even see images and read explanations.

I'll skip Sandra Elflein for now and focus on Fiona Rüggeberg.

Eyes: deepset and might have a bit of a slit; Faelid.
Nose: slightly concave, of medium length and with a slight upturn at the end; Faelid.
Mouth: of medium size with thin lips; Faelid (Nordid?).
Jaws: not too prominent but broadish; somewhere between reduced Cromagnid and Nordid?
Cheek(bone)s: Faelid
Forehead: a slight slope; toward Nordid
Head: broad and roundish; Faelid with reduction toward Borreby/Alpinid
Overall: a bit gracilised.

I say she is predominantly Faelid, partly gracilised, partly reduced.

I found a picture of her where she looks almost exactly like my sister. It's uncanny.

Hmm, but what's the point of this forum then? Anyone can say Nordid, Alpinid, and there is few discussion or interaction. Google is a very vast resource and it's more easier if the things are explained here, not only for the classification authors, but for the readers. Skadi was famous for its anthropological experts because they substantiated their opinions. If everyone writes only a word or two, it will lose its value.

Tentatively, I classify Sandra Elflein as Eastalpinid (Gorid): At first sight, she shows mainly alpinoid features, but her colors seem too light for a full-fledged, classical alpinid, and she has an expression in her eyes I associate with especially Czech women: It's hard to concretize, but it's something I think is very typical for Westslavic Women and always coming from a baltid strain.

Regarding Fiona Rüggeberg, I basically concur with Anlef's analysis but not necessarily with his conclusion: As the faelid is in my view not striking, I propose another possible interpretation of the mentioned particularities of her physiognomy: A blend between nordid (probably eastnordid) and westbaltid/eastcromagnoid, the latter in any case being of a rather subordinate nature as she seems to be of quite a leptomorphic (long, slender) built.
