Outward Appearance

Almanuldë's gaze is gentle, yet filled with pride. Her hair is of dark Noldorin shade, and her eyes are deep blue. Her voice is soft, equal to the shimmering of flowers in the summer wind. She likes to converse about the beauty of Arda, yet nothing pleases her more than to sit under the stars and listen to the quiet song of the stream, as it is exactly how the song of such a beauty shows itself to her.

Background

Almanuldë is the Quenya name given to her by her father.

Lothlhossil is her mother name, the one that was known to the inhabitants of
Ost-in-Edhil.

Almanuldë hails from the gilded lands of Eregion, and is descended from a Noldorin family who left Aman following the desperate call of Fëanor. Her father was a jeweller of a great talent, while her mother served as a seamstress, making garments and embroideries of an unimaginable beauty. From her Almanuldë learned her skills, sewing with threads of gold and silver, and decorating her creations with jewelled patterns and embroideries worthy of the prospering lands she lived in.


Spending her life in the blooming glory and radiance of Ost-in-Edhil, like many others, she welcomed the arrival of Annatar, and grew intrigued with the marvels of his craft-lore and his gentle honeyed speeches. Her family was lost when Eregion fell to Sauron's wrath, while she managed to flee under the guidance of her husband.

While never seeing the light of the Trees herself, the tales of the bliss and radiance of the Undying Lands always fascinated her greatly, and she ever looks for more stories of old to delight her mind. Almanuldë spends her days seeking the beauties and wisdoms heard in the the quiet song of Arda, and can often be found walking the moonlit paths among the trees of Imladris. In those walks she yearns to hear hidden songs and whispers of every living thing within the restless realm of Middle-Earth and comprehend its secret beauties, often unseen by others.

She delights in quiet melodies of starlit streams, and soft winds caressing the night flowers of the Valley. 

Among many other jewelleries of remarkable work, she often wears a small golden brooch of stunning beauty. It is shaped in likeness of a nine-petaled flower which is  just opening in bloom. Amber glistens at the heart of the flower, dark as bronze yet clear as water, smooth and without any imperfections. The petals are inlaid with feather-thin layers of moonstone that are laid side by side next to one another, creating beautiful and elaborate swirls only the trained eye can see, all of framed in a bed of jade leaves. The brooch is a masterwork of jewelcraft, yet most often Almanuldë hides it behind her thin shawls.
