Concerning Chinese Dragon-Elves in Once Upon a Time

In Once Upon A Time, do all chinese/dragon elves have the slitted eyes and scaly eyebrows/necks? Or just the royal ones? I like your story, it's very good :)
Dragon blood is what causes vertical pupils instead of circular ones, so the stronger the dragon ancestry/bloodline, the more likely you’ll get reptilian/draconian eyes and scales. 


This means all royals and most nobles have them (the emperor tends to take at least one or two dragon concubines every generation to make sure the top princes are dragon Elves), and about 50% of the common Elven population has them (although to varying degrees). 

Dragon blood tends to pop up in different ways in non-Elven Chinese fae, and also can have interesting results in fae with more than two bloodlines (can you imagine a fox-dragon vampire?).
