Arnan Nadhras (Lilypad)
Gender: male
Race: elf
Height: 6'2"
Location: Imladris
Family: Father- Echadron, Mother- Daeracoura
Animals: Black Stallion- Talon.
Weapons: Sword of elvish make, elven dagger, and elven longbow if need be.
Personality: Arnan’s personality is as proud and haughty as his bearing. His already long life has not given him wisdom like most but instead an over-confidence unmatched by few. This arrogance, if you will, makes him foolish and quick to judgment. He has a good, brave and passionate heart underneath everything, but he has had centuries to build his shortcomings and failings. It will take a lot to overcome his faults but he has the strong-will, should he accept this task, to do so and to become a truly great man, who may even be remembered in history for his deeds of valor and selflessness. Arnan is driven and ambitious. He is charismatic, magnetic, outgoing, and friendly to most, but mistrustful of many. However he is more welcoming and trusting than many elves. He especially likes hobbits and dwarves, admiring the hobbits way of life, and the dwarf’s skill with metal work. Like many elves Arnan is learned, eloquent, and poised.
Appearance: Arnan has a shock of long dark red-auburn hair that is set against a pale face and bright blue eyes. He has a proud bearing, and is tall and slender like most elves. However he is somewhat more muscled and broader in the shoulder due to his work as a blacksmith’s apprentice. When working Arnan often goes without being clean shaven and grows stubble slightly darker than his hair. Arnan is usually very well kept when not working. He wears rich colours, wines, deep blues, royal purples and greens. When traveling he wears a dark grey cloak fringed with fur and clasped with a wolf head pendant which is the symbol of his family.
History:
Arnan came from simple beginnings for an elf. His father Echadron was a beloved smith from Imladris but nothing more. His mother, Daeracoura was a seamstress who was born in Greenwood. Arnan had always wanted more: to be a scholar, to be recognised as someone important that did something imperative. He became learned in history, philosophy, read anything he could get his hands on amidst his work as a blacksmith’s apprentice. Arnan was remarkably gifted with his hands. He could make beautiful swords and daggers with metals and jewels as well as arrows and bows. His will to succeed brings out very human qualities in Arnan, a sense of greed, and impulsiveness in his actions. Arnan is a confident apprentice of a well-known blacksmith in Imladris and will do anything in his power to become a great blacksmith and get the recognition he believes he so deserves.
