Gender: 2
Race: Elf
Height: 5 feet, 6 inches
Age: 283 years
Family: unknown, but her mother was an elf of Lothlorien
Animals: a black-white hound, Sador
Weapons: Elvish knives with handles of ivory

Personality: She is as light of heart as her master is serious. Sweet, youthful Cunneth is gifted with endless cheer and a pure, golden heart. She is soft spoken and gentle in manner, very friendly and loves to get to know new people. Her spirit runs free and is always seeking adventure, though she is not as competent a warrior as she hopes to be, for she is more of a damsel-in-distress than a fighter. Most of the time she has to depend on Anarato for protection. Although inexperienced and vulnerable herself, she always goes out of her way to help people in their times of need. Her laughter and joyous smiles alone are enough to rouse the spirits of others. She is one of the youngest elves left in Middle-earth.

Appearance: She has long, silky reddish-brown hair that cascades free-flowing to her hips, the biggest, most beautifully expressive green eyes ever seen, and a china-doll complexion. Cunneth is unusually short and petite for an elf, but nonetheless has the grace and elegance of her kin. She prefers to wear light, airy dresses in white or pastel colors but adds a cloak over it when traveling. She wears no jewels save the mithril necklace that had belonged to her deceased mother, given to her by Anarato when she came of age.

History:

She never knew her parents, and has virtually no memories of her childhood. On their way from Lothlorien to the Grey Havens, her mother and the party of elves she was traveling with were attacked by orcs. Everyone was killed except for her, just a three-year old infant then, for she was found and saved by Anarato who luckily just happened to be passing by.

The mage took Cunneth in and raised her as though she were his own child, educated her, and trained her in the magical arts as well as combat. She grew up to be a bright, energetic, young maiden, thirsty for knowledge and eager for adventure. It is she who often ends up dragging her reluctant guardian all over Middle-earth on quests of all sorts.

Cunneth remains a devoted daughter and apprentice to Anarato, but more recently she has discovered that her love for him has deepened over the years beyond respect, gratitude or even filial love. She keeps her feelings secret, knowing that it will never be requited and fearful of losing friendship with the only family she has ever known.
