Mind being a bit more specific on that? xD Western-inspired elves can vary quite a lot. The inspiration draws heavily from Norse mythology and Scandinavian folklore, where depending on where you are the appearance of Elves and other folklore creatures like trolls varies.

You can just as easily get beautiful and flowy like the Lord of the Rings elves.
You can get the elves in Elder Scrolls which look like E.T. had plastic surgery.
You can get the elves in Dragon Age which vary from looking Tolkien-ish (Fenris) or kinda weird (Solas. What is that nose.)
Or you can get weird and sprite-like like Stallion from Suikoden.

Though, really, all we have are elongated Hyurs with pointy ears. And weird head sizes. Hilda doesn't have that much variation, she just falls heavier on the Hyur look due to genetics.
