Name: Elorendil
Age: 3,549
Gender: Female
Race: Elf
Occupation: Horse trainer/Cross-country racer
Weapons: Long bow, sword, dagger, knives
Family: Unknown
Birthplace: Mithlond
Home: Rivendell
Language: Sindarin, a little Quenya, Common Tongue
History: Elorendil was born in Mithlond. When she was 35 (the elven equivalent of a human 12 year old), she and her mother were traveling to Lothlorien to visit their distant cousin, Haldir, when they were ambushed by orcs. Her mother was killed, but Elorendil managed to escape. She was never found by her family and was presumed dead after several years passed and she was never found. In truth, she was alive, but had lost her memory due to brain damage she recieved when she was thrown from her horse. Elorendil wandered in the wilds for some time and was eventually found by Lindon, who took her to Rivendell. In time, her body was healed, but her memory never returned. When it became apparent that she would not be able to return to her family, whoever and wherever they were, Elrond adopted Elorendil and raised her. As she grew older, she learned swordfighting, archery, hand-to-hand combat, tracking and wilderness survival from Elrohir. He also allowed her to accompany him and Elladan on some of their orc hunting expeditions. Though she was treated as part of the family, as she grew older she became discontent and longed to find her true family. Eventually, she left Rivendell to search for clues to her past and to try to find her family. She wandered far and wide throughout Middle-earth searching for them, but has not yet been able to find them.
Animal: A white mare named Nimar and a black panther named Dúathmin.
Magic: Ability to communicate with animals, healing
Items: Kaiarsa (a three tiered, harp-like instrument she had with her when she was found by Lindon)
Appearance: Her hair is a dark auburn, and straight, yet full bodied at the top and ends at her waist in a beautful, loose curls. Her eyes are a deep, sapphire blue. Slender, yet surprisingly well muscled for an elf maiden, Elorendil is stunningly beautiful.
Dress: When traveling, she generally wears a fitted green tunic with a silver undershirt, paired with well-tailored breeches and tall, brown leather boots. Even when not traveling, she generally prefers to wear a tunic, although she still enjoys wearing a striking gown at times.
Personality: Elorendil is calm, serene, and has the manners of an elf maiden. Hidden under her calm exterior is a simmers a temper that matches her fiery hair. Although she has learned to keep it in check, for the most part, it occasionally gets the best of her. Coupled with agility and lightning-fast reflexes, her anger can have deadly consequences for the subject of her wrath. Her two greatest loves are music and animals. Elorendil has an exquisite voice and takes great delight in playing her kaiarsa. She also enjoys being around animals, horses in particular. She has a deep bond with her horse, Nimar, and her panther, Dúathmin. Elorendil is often tormented by her past, both what she remembers and what she cannot. Sometimes, she feels as though she knows someone, or can almost remember something from her childhood, but can't quite put her finger on it. This both frustrates and saddens her immensely. She also suffers from nightmares resulting in unsavory encounters with the some of the crueler races of Middle-earth. She can be incredibly defiant and independent at times, a trait that occasionally crops up to frustrate her travel companions and never ceases to worry Elrond. She has a good sense of humor, and sometimes indulges in a little mischief. A masterful fighter in many areas, Elorendil is to be feared by all who have angered her.
