Ianthé (anduril269)
She was raised with her brother by her uncle and aunt. Her mother died giving birth to her, and her fathere abandoned them shortly afterwards.
When she was just 15, she joined in a plan to journey all of Middle-Earth. This was carried out by herself, her brother, and four friends.
When she was 17, her brother was sold into slavery by three of her friends – Sithern, Teleron, and Athdur. From then on, she has never spoken to them, vowing to avenge her brother’s possible death, and exclusion from the world.
She abandoned all of her wealth, and took to wearing black. She travelled through many many slave markets, searching for her brother, until she finally decided to settle down in a house. She chose a town at random, and bought a ramshackle house – little more than a shed.
She once considered taking her own life, but decided to live – only for her brother’s sake, and if she should ever find him again.
She had one piece of news from her previous friends: Sithern (her brother’s main betrayer) was married to Linnet ( her brother’s ex-finacé ).
This was the piece of news that almost caused her to take her own life.
