| Outward Appearance | At 6'5 ft., Selarthil is as unremarkable as any other Elleth in terms of height, possessing an often stiff and unwelcoming posture that signals caution and wariness. Her silvery hair runs down to her shoulders, mostly free when not in armour, often tied back in a simple braid when out in the wild, and her blue eyes tend to hold a cold touch to them, accentuating her professional image as a soldier and scout. When conversing, an adept speaker of Sindarin may hear a rich, practiced Silvan accent, the tone of which is often melodic, yet also sharp and many times painfully blunt and honest. Her Westron is shamefully broken, and nigh unintelligible save for a few words and phrases. Despite this aloofness and her curt mannerisms, Selarthil appears nonetheless polite and willing to spare time for chit-chat. |

Background
As a young maiden of scarce three hundred, Selarthil tends towards the younger generation of Elves. Born and raised in Mirkwood, this youth manifests in her eagerness to serve and fulfill her duties, her love for climbing and nature, and her preference for adrenaline-inducing activities; However, as a younger Elf Selarthil is also often blinded by her own self-confidence and age - being a Tawarwaith, she has a certain bias against High Elven culture, preferring the rustic style of the Wood Elves, and dislikes most Ñoldor and older Elves in general for what she perceives as condescending behaviour.
Frequently considered blunt, stand-offish, and incapable of anything but anger when under stress, Selarthil nonetheless remains an honourable, empathic figure who is capable of affection and loyalty to those she trusts.
Her current whereabouts are unknown, but she is said to have gone westwards towards Ered Luin.

| Relatives | Unknown |
| Rivals/Enemies | Selarthil does not know any rivals or enemies, but she is known to engage in petty little spats over age and skill from time to time. |
| Loves | The sounds of water and spring brooks, tree-climbing and heights, cartography and mapping the unknown, honesty and a healthy debate. Selarthil also enjoys nature treks and prefers forest trees to grandiose halls. |
|---|---|
| Hates | Hate is a strong word, but Selarthil has a vested dislike of Ñoldor, especially those who hail from Gondolin, as well as sorrow, self-pity, inappropriate behaviour, sensitive hearts, The Enemy and older Elves treating her condescendingly. |
| Motivation | Unknown |
| Quotes | "They say my words bite deep. To that I say; Let them wound, for there is oft truth to be found in pain." |
