| Outward Appearance | Faerlir is minute for one of her kindred, but far from appearing weak or fragile. She moves with grace, radiating confidence and inner strength. If not a conventional beauty, she is somehow striking with her pale complexion contrasting with the corvine shade of her hair and her full red lips. Regardless of practicality, she likes to wear dresses and long robes of the finest make, preferably in blue colour. Her long black hair is fashioned in an elaborate style and adorned with a fine golden circlet. Faerlir is usually good humoured and, because of her inquisitive nature, prone to engage people in conversation. When immersed in her studies, however, she is known to appear distant and aloof and for this reason she prefers to conduct her research in solitude.

Background
Faerlir [from Faer=spirit and glir=song] was born in Lindon in the year 3330 of the Second Age. Her father was a Noldorin officer at the service of Gil-galad while her mother was a poet and a bard of the Sindar. From her father she inherited her love for knowledge, a taste for fineries and a certain boldness of character; from her mother she derived her more spiritual side, an affinity to water and the ability to tame wild creatures with songs.
Not long after Faerlir’s coming of age, her father was slain in Mordor fighting alongside the High King in the Siege of Barad-dûr. Her mother, overcome with grief, sailed to Valinor soon after receiving the news of his death.
In Mithlond, Faerlir became a scholar and a healer, researching ancient lore and concocting salves and potions. Preferring the climate of Lindon, she travelled eastwards only occasionally, sojourning in Imladris and Caras Galadhon for brief periods of time.
Faerlir has a great love for the sea and is irresistibly attracted to rivers and streams; every morning at dawn she heads to the shores of the gulf of Lhun to walk barefoot along the water’s edge. As much as she savours these moments of solitude, Faerlir is known to enjoy social gatherings, particularly when she can exchange news with the elves that come regularly to the Havens and fuel her innate curiosity with accounts of battles, travels and distant realms.
