Himeleth (Vanalosswen)
Gender: 2
Race: Sindar Elf
Height: 6'2"
Age: Older than Elrond
Family: Father: Malamir, a close friend of Beleg Strongbow's--died in battle when she was young. Mother: Gail (Passed to the Havens shortly after her husband'
Weapons: None, really. Can defend herself with a dagger if need be, but she stinks otherwise.
Personality: Short-tempered and stubborn, this young woman is quiet at need, almost to the point of being a shadow in the darkness. She's agressive when she sees there are things needed to be done, and sometimes pushes too hard on things that are too sensitive. Her rather crusty outer shell hides a sensitive, nature-loving woman with her own fears, hopes and desires.
Appearance: Slender and willowy. Her black hair reaches almost to the backs of her knees. Her piercing blue eyes can be gently caressing in need...or blindingly angry when she's crossed. High cheekbones define her delicate-looking face and full lips conceal a dimple when she is not smiling.
History:
Her father was a close friend with Beleg the Strongbow and was a captain under his command. After he died in battle, Beleg took Himeleth as a foster child, since her mother was dying of grief and wished to depart the earth without worry for her only child.
As Himeleth grew up, she became close friends with Beleg’s son Isilion, though she was a few years older. They became closer than siblings, often able to finish each other’s thoughts without trouble.
Himeleth grew up to be hauntingly beautiful, though not as beautiful as lost Luithien. In time, she became a handmaiden of the Queen Melian and was trained in the arts of being a woman by her.
After the Strongbow’s death, Isilion and Himeleth’s friendship strengthened to the point of invicibility. He regarded her as something of an older sister and she loved him as a little brother.
Yet…who is to know? Fortunes and feelings change…mayhap more in on the wind for Himeleth and Isilion.
