Trichotillomania.

Trichotillomania is a mental problem caused by stress, anxiety, etc. Some people are even born with it. essentially, it just sends a chemical reaction to ones brain that tells the body to pull out hair in places like their head, arms, eyebrows, and things like that.

it's actually pretty common in HUMANS but the thing is, after doing some research i think that SOPHIE has trichotillomania. She shows big signs like pulling out her eyelashes (Obviously), sometimes not even realizing shes doing it, and has a lot of pressure on her and is stressed out a lot. but the thing is, i thought that elves dont have mental disorders like this. (Actually, i hate the term mental disorder because it makes things sound really bad and like its a big deal but its really not) so idk if this is just an inconsistance or something else
