AirFolk

Hey okay so I saw this picture and I been thinking about fantasy races so here goes. Also I don't have a name for them so they're called AirFolk, because we met a WaterFolk lady in the current long-form game my group is playing and she's basically an alien of the Furthest West, and so here's my petition to the GM for the aliens of the Furthest North.
So AirFolk are born real small from the vestiges of prior AirFolk, which will make sense at the end of their life cycle. They're basically real small, dense people, like maybe a centimeter or less? They have a memory that is passed down from previous AirFolk, like they way you remember who you were 30 years ago? Anyway they live to be about 30 and they have indeterminate growth that's kind of exponential so they get real big, like 20-50m in their latest years; a 20yo would be 2-3m probably, and is the equivalent of human middle-age.  When they get real old they get what's called the Vapours, which is when they start to become less solid, and eventually they phase into like a misty tornado-wind thing, spooling whirls that become new AirFolk, with fragments of their memory.
They have 4-10 wings and are made entirely of cold wind, but a solid type of wind, like... gelatin, or feathers. Their skin ranges somewhere between snow and mist and the sky at night, depending on the atmosphere of their whorling into being.
That's all I got.
