You have advantage on saving throws to avoid or end the charmed condition on yourself. Trance. You don't need to sleep and magic can't put you to sleep. You can finish a long rest in 4 hours if you spend those hours in a trancelike meditation, during which you retain consciousness. Whenever you finish this trance, you can gain two proficiencies that you don't have, each one with a weapon or tool of your choice selected from the Players Handbook. You mystically acquire these proficiencies by drawing them shared elven memory, and you retain them until you finish your next long rest. Blessing of the Raven Queen. As a bonus action, you can magically teleport up to 30 feet, to an unoccupied space you can see. You can use this trait up to a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. Starting at 3rd level, you can gain resistance to all damage when you use this trait. The resistance lasts till the start of your next turn. During that time, you appear ghostly and translucent. Necrotic Resistance. You have resistance to necrotic damage.

Shadar-Kai are the elves of the Shadowfell, originally drawn to dread realm by the Raven Queen. Over the centuries, some have continued to serve her, while others have ventured into the Material Plane to forge their own destinies. Once Shadar-Kai were Feywild elves that had come from Alfheim, like many elven-kind, now they exist in a state between life and death, thanks to being transformed by the Shadowfell's grim energy. Shadar-Kai have ashen skin tones, and while they are in the Shadowfell, they also become wizened, reflecting the sombre nature of that gloomy place.
