The Japanese take on Dark Elves and their looks tends to be significantly different from that of Western media (i.e. D&D Drow), skin tone in particular. See: Record of Lodoss War, Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari (Tenchi Muyo: War on Geminar), Gate, and probably others I forget or don't know about.

In these last two, they're pretty much Wood Elves with naturally deeply tanned skin, like you see in Indians, Southeast Asians, Mulattos and many Latinos; since Aura and Mare are basically a ranger and a druid (and their level of Nazarick is basically a forest), they're probably more along those same lines; also, Dark Elves in Norse myth are likely the same thing as Dwarves.
