It is believed that this is a natural evolution due to living in a Binary star system. The Laudeans actual have dual eye lids (two eye lids rather than one) - the usual skin eye lid and then a second transparent layer that can be moved separately. This second eye lid and yellow eye color ensure protection from the sun's rays when Til'ahn's second sun comes into the season during the summer - acting like a pair of manufactured sunglasses would for Terrans. | ||

Likewise, the entirety of a Laudean's earlobe (although neither pointy nor any larger than a Terran's) is colored in the same exotic shades. These colors vary from Laudean to Laudean and can be one of the following colors: | ||

Unlike other planets, "hairline" and "ear" color is not thought to be based on geographical origin but rather social class. This evolutionary theory is supported by the fact that a royal noble would marry with a royal noble (regardless of kingdoms of origin) and a worker with a worker, etc. Of course this was a long time ago in Duronis' history, and is now redundant as Laudeans freely intermix. The presence of purple hairlines may suggest Laudeans with red coloring may at one time have existed and that the purple hair lines descended from their having children with blue hairline Laudeans | Unlike other planets, "hairline" and "ear" color is not thought to be based on geographical origin but rather social class.

People known for being connected to their environment, they are strictly not "nymph-ish" but rather "quiet" and more "serene" in their cultural bias. Yet despite looking "reserved," Laudeans are far from being passive and are very culturally and technologically advanced. | ||
Other Federation citizens have found the Laudeans to be somewhat "gothic." This comes from the very high religious background, with churches, cathedrals, etc. | Other Federation citizens have found the Laudeans to be somewhat "gothic."
