<strong>Otherkin</strong> <strong>Lexicon</strong> O. <strong>Scribner</strong><br />

N<br />

normal folk, n. (otherkin, primarily but not limited to the Silver Elves) <strong>The</strong> Silver Elves <strong>of</strong>ten use this<br />

term in their writing to refer to outsiders who have no conception <strong>of</strong> magic as real, <strong>and</strong> who<br />

strive to conform more than to express themselves. <strong>The</strong> Silver Elves argue that this term is not<br />

pejorative because “that is what they call themselves. We have heard them say thous<strong>and</strong>s <strong>of</strong><br />

times ‘I’m so glad I’m normal’ … normals want to be normal. Who are we to deny them that<br />

aspiration or call them other than what they choose to call themselves.” 170 Also Normals. 171<br />

Compare mundane.<br />
