Kestryll will say she is from Rivendell, but she never felt at home there and her parents - who she never knew - may have been from anywhere. Being an orphan is no fun for any child, but an elf with no traceable heritage suffers more than most. Thus she spent her life in libraries and forests, reading books and reading nature, and when the chance to leave Rivendell and help a small band of Rangers in their struggle against the forces of darkness came, she took it gratefully.

She has a kind face, no scars or blemishes, and unlike many of her kind, has an approachable and welcoming demeanour.
