Singers have orange blood.{{book ref|sa3|38}}
=== Extremities === ▼
They possess four limbs, made up of two upper and two lower extremities. Their upper extremities end with five-digit hands, and their lower extremities end with five-digit feet. ▼
=== Epidermis and Epidermal Marblings ===▼
The most apparent sign of their non-human nature is the epidermis; it is covered in marblings, swirls of various colors - red, black or white.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} Most singers have dichromatic epidermides, either red-black or red-white; these marblings can manifest in various way, both as delicate swirls and large, wind-swept patterns.{{book ref|sa3|i|7}}{{book ref|sa3|116}} There are singers whose skin is trichromatic, but they are extremely rare relative to the dichromatic phenotype.{{book ref|sa3|54}}{{book ref|sa4|45}} The color whitening at the edges is a sign of age and senescence.{{book ref|sa4|62}} Their hair is typically orange or red -- colors that do not appear to occur naturally in Rosharan humans, outside of those with partial singer genetic admixture.{{wob ref|5782}}{{book ref|sa3|109}} There is a relationship between the color of singer hair and their individual marbling colors.{{wob ref|14827}}▼
=== Aging and Senescence ===
Their bodies have carapace growing over some parts of them; where and how much depends on what form the singer is currently in, but they typically cover the cranium and the upper extremities.{{book ref|sa3|55}} Their carapace is held on to their body by a series of blue ligaments, suggesting the lack of an epidermis under their carapace.{{book ref|sa1|59}}
=== Endoskeleton ===
Their endoskeletons are made up of red-coloured bones.{{cite}}

=== Gemhearts ===▼
Like many local species in the Rosharan biosphere, singers possess [[gemheart]]s, though theirs have a cloudy white coloration, and are fused to their sternum.{{book ref|sa3|i|7}} Those gemhearts allow them to bond with [[spren]], letting them change their '''forms''', leading to a change in both appearance and some mental faculty.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} Due to their gemhearts, singers do not leak [[Lights]] like humans do.{{book ref|sa4|31}}▼
=== Mandible and Molar structure, Metabolism, and Diet ===
Their eyes are also divergent from homo sapiens - all black, with no sclera and no visible iris.{{book ref|sa1|53}}

They have greater resistance to cold temperatures than humans.{{book ref|sa4|102}}
=== Spiritual Aspects ===▼
Despite these biological differences, singers are like humans in many [[Spiritual Realm|Spiritual]] aspects. Like humans, they can receive boons and curses from the [[Nightwatcher]].{{wob ref|1378}} They can also bond [[spren]] to attain [[Knights Radiant|Radiant]] powers, though most spren are unwilling to reach out for such a bond.{{book ref|sa3|120}} Singers can see the reality of the spren more closely than a human.{{book ref|sa4|48}} ▼
=== Sexes and reproduction ===
They do not share a common ancestor, though can interbreed due to the similar intent behind their creation.{{wob ref|3922}}{{wob ref|9235}}
