Delaina Nordithen (Lilypad)
Gender: female
Race: human
Height: 5’5 or 5’7 (depending on age)
Age: 16-21 (depending on time period)
Location: Gondor
Family: Her mother Sarelótë, father Conegwaith, and younger sister Amber and little brother Arthon.
Animals: A buckskin mare named Meara.
Weapons: dagger with a leather hilt, breast dagger with a small gold hilt, throwing knives, if need be a whip, or bow and arrows with brown speckled feathers.
Personality: Delaina knows her place in the world but that doesn’t necessarily mean that she is happy with it. She puts on a brave face for her little sister Amber and brother Arthon, but would much prefer to be a shieldmaiden than a lady in waiting. A dutiful daughter she is obedient to her father and her master King Elessar. First and foremost she is loyal to her king and those she serves. She has a sharp tongue and a quick, snappy, sarcastic sense of humour, though most of the time she is seen as quiet and rather shy (she only speaks when spoken to while in the castle). She is a very proper young lady. She can be rather meticulous, determined and dedicated to every task she is given. Beneath her straight-laced, rule abiding manner she is actually quite nosey and likes knowing everything that is going on in the castle, though Delaina will time and again defend that she is not one for gossip. She is a trusted servant of the King and others within the castle walls.
Appearance: Like all the women in her family Delaina has soft walnut-carroty brown hair that falls in messy waves. Her hair has a bit more gold in it than her sisters having been lightened by the sun. Her eyes are dark amber, like that formed from the resin of trees, her complexion is fair but has been lightly tanned from the sun. Her rosy cheeks and lips give her an air of youthfulness.
History:

Her mother used to be a servant of lady Arwen and lord Aragorn, but has since retired to raise her children.
