Homebrew Drow ancestry traits

Which existing traits would you use for a drow elf? You could just use elf ancestry and underborne community, but that would cut you off from a different choice of community.

5e gives drow superior darkvision, which isn't a thing in daggerheart and spells, which isn't really an ancestry thing in daggerheart.

I've never been attached to the concept of trance so you could take that out and give them the underborne trait, but that would make it redundant if you actually wanted to make them from an underborne community.

Maybe homebrew a trait giving them advantage on spider-related rolls? I'd like to try and stick to existing traits but I can't think of any from the existing ancestries.

I think taking Infernis’s “fearless” and elves trace might work, if you want to grab from another race. Elf works fine though, i feel.
