I think the modern day approach is to take an incredibly hot person, and give them whatever demon-y fetish (red/blue skin, tail, horns, etc) you're into.

Wait, tieflings are the new drow?
Why not both?
Let's be honest here: Nixie is Pinkie Pie.
I was baffled what a tiefling might be. Then I remembered I'm a native German speaker.
Teufeltzoig, I guess?
"Tiefling" looks like a German word, "tief" meaning "deep". As a matter of fact, that's exactly where they got the name from, referring to their "lower planes" heritage. And it's in German because, well, no idea. Maybe Sigil has a significant German minority?
German cuz spoken deutsch is the most evil sounding language, duh. Beaten only by latin sung in choir. Or latin / runic writing.
Hunh. I'd always assumed it was from Teufel 🤷🏼♂️
Jesus is right. Not surprisingly.
Ew.
How do you say her name? Is it pronounced "shawnan"?

Yes, "shawnan" is correct.
Keep the horse head
"But I want an evil Tiefling..."
Fine... pick a Decepticon.
According to the second edition books, Gambit is a valid tiefling design.
My my tiefling is just a short human with thin features and slightly greyish skin.
If beastboy and raven had a kid, basically.
NGL, that's a little too close to Bronie land for me 🤪
