There are several key factors which make elves very different from humans. While all elves grow into children at the same rate as humans, it takes substantially longer for their body to advance from childhood into adulthood. Elves will visually develop in the same way humans do (age 12 to 20) over the course of 78 years (age 12 to 90). This means they will look like a full adult by age 90 but would still look like a child at age 45. They are not sexually fertile until they are at least 75 years old. Their brain develops at the same rate as humans however, making them mentally mature by age 25 (their libido is delayed until around age 80 however).
Once elves reach their fully matured physical state, they will retain their youth and beauty their entire life. This essentially means they will look like a human does at age 20 forever. In the last 20 to 40 years of their life they will start to sleep progressively longer until they eventually never wake up again, this is considered a standard elven death of old age.
Elves do not retain excess body fat, preventing them from gaining additional weight beyond their natural equilibrium. They do suffer from malnutrition far more then a human does, and can die of starvation far more quickly. Elven males will not start getting facial hair until they are at least 80 years old.
