Falfuinaer (BelleBayard)
Gender: 2
Race: Maiar
Height: 6' 4"
Age: Indeterminate
Family: A member of Uinen's family
Animals: Sea otter, sea gull, all sea creatures heed her call
Weapons: When in Elvish or Secondborn form, uses a bow and knives
Personality: Compassionate but fierce in defense of her creatures, Falfuinaer looks out for those who sail her Lord's waters and works with her lady to calm the seas after Ossë's storms. Very patient, she listens to the troubles those who sit on the shore have to tell, soothing them with the touch of her foam. She delights in the smallest of her realm and aids in birthing all those within her power.
Appearance: Her natural form would shock most, for she has taken the form of a mer person. Her pale green hair, sea blue eyes, and webbed hands and feet help her to blend into her surroundings. When called upon by her Lord or Lady to interact more directly with the First or Second born, Falfuinaer may either appear as a Teleri Elf maid with silver hair and pale blue eyes or as Númenórean woman with black hair and grey eyes. In either guise, she remains tall and stately, well-spoken and with a soft voice which still commands attention.
History:
Ulmo created Falfuinaer to help Uinen in overseeing the sea creatures. The song he made her with contained the elements of air and water both as sea foam comes from the impact of sea water with land or another hard object. Falfuinaer has worked diligently to care for her creatures and has fallen in love with several of those who have come to the shore with troubled hearts. In her youth, she aided Elrond and Elros’ father, Eärendil, upon his quest to find Valinor and supported Elwing when she flung herself into the sea after the attack upon Arvernien. With her assistance, Elwing remained afloat until Ulmo could turn the Half-Elven maid into a sea bird to fly away, bearing the Silmaril, to her husband. Indeed, seeing the love between the two, Falfuinaer’s heart learned of such passion and devotion and longed for the same. She still seeks such though she has not found it to this day.
