Persian is a very
contradictory race.
Persians are divided into 3 groups, Northern,Central and Southern.
Northern Persians cannot even be called true Persians and tend to be Armenian,Greek,french and roman(ancient Italian). Their
characteristics include brown hair, brown/chestnut reddish eyes, brown hair, lightly tanned skins, tall, little to no fat at a young age and have
straight hair when short, but curier when longer. the ones with medium/
light brown hair cannot be called persians at all, if anything they are armenians.
Central Persians are a mix of northern and southern, they are a lighter version of southerns. And have black hair, and also tend to be shorter (around 5'2) but have darkish skin, a mix bewtween very dark and northern dark.
Southern Persians have jet black hair, very dark skin (almost Indian brown) are short, have little to no fat on them, and are what are considered "Pure Blooded Persians". Southern Persians have a hate for northerns, and vice versa, throughout history the town of "Tabriz" a christian town, was attacked by southern Persians, the northerns had a weapon called "Greek fire" which they used to burn out the southern's food supply and they retreated to the central, which the northerns retaliated and took during the revolution before the Iran/Iraq war. Which resulted in the mixing and the birth of "Central Persians"
Even though Iran is
geographically split into east and west, ethnically it is split in north,central,south. And to this day Northern Persians dislike southern Persian, and southern Persians dislike norther Persians.
