Telpelith was born in Dale to an elf woman by the name of Niahm (pronounced Nee-Av) and her human companion Tynan. The little family lived happily enough for a short time, until one night Niahm simply vanished from their home without a trace, leaving Tynan to care for his daughter alone.

Being abandoned by his lover left Tynan bitter towards her and her kind, a sentiment which passed to his daughter as well for the first part of her life. The father and daughter did well together despite everything, and Tynan took Telpelith hunting with him from an early age, teaching her how to track, trap, shoot, skin, and survive, as well as how to fight and take care of herself in the wild.

Her father died when she was nineteen years old and she sold their home in Dale along with their possessions, all but her daggers and hunting supplies. She left the city behind, using the money to buy herself a falcon, a hunting dog, and a horse.

She spends her time traveling, never staying in one place for long and mostly avoiding civilization when she can. She has mostly lost the dislike for elves that she inherited from her father, though she still harbors anger at her mother, she doesn’t lay the blame over the entire race.

((OOC Fun fact: Me and Telpelith are both terrible at names, so I found the names for Wy, Bwyd, and Ceffyl in a welsh book. They are as such. The falcon, Wy’s name means ‘egg’. The dog Bwyd’s name means ‘food’. Ceffyl the horses name literally means ‘horse’ if anyone im Middle-Earth spoke welsh they would probably make endless fun of her. ))
