Outward Appearance

Ilyian is a tall and thin elf, with a body way stronger than it looks. Her hair resembles a waterfall in the night, with countless tones of grey and white highlights among her few dark raven-feather strands. Her eyes are of a light, grassy green, and remind one of the Lorien Leaf, the signet of the elven people from the land where her history began. She has small but firm hands, helpful in her job and in small fights with vandals who sometimes venture around her forge

Background

Ilyian Arvellon was born  in the land of Lothlorien, as the third daughter of Ellraen the hunter and Ilydis, a master tailor. She grew very close to her older sisters, Melethrilyn and Diheneitha, but as they got older, they headed to Rivendell, leaving Ily all by herself with her over-protective mother and her desperate tries to make Ilyian choose the path of a tailor as she did.

Her name itself is translated in the elves language as "Of the all", name she learned to embrace by always helping and protecting the weak and the loved ones. Since she was a child, she'd been told all the time about the good deeds and virtues of their Lady Galadriel, which deep inside made her wish she'd one day become just like her.

Even though her mother wanted Ily to embrace the work of a tailor, she had always been keen on any types of stones and metals, and as a child, she was always seen gathering stones that looked special near rivers. This passion of her made her leave her homeland at the age of 18 and go to the city of Imladris to find a job as a jeweller. It hadn't been hard for her to find a job as every artisan jeweller in Rivendell saw her extraordinary vocation.

After two years of hard working, this part of her life was soon to be over. She hears the rumors about her father, who was said to have gotten into a serious conflict with a burglars gang in the land of Bree. Ilyian had a nervous breakdown at that time, which made her quit her job, leave to Bree Land and stealthily infiltrate in a thieves guild there to gather news about her parent. In her kinship, she met a few people which she could call 'friends' for the first time in many years. Several attacks against her kinship took place two months later, in which she almost lost her life, causing her to leave all of a sudden without telling anybody, out of fear. After a few months of constantly wandering around Bree without a job or purpose, and no news about her possibly dead father, Ilyian decided that she couldn't return to Rivendell, and decided to start over a new life there, in Bree. That's when she finally met her current kinship's members, that taught her the meaning of the word 'family' all over again. 

With the help of her kin, she managed to open her own forge in order to continue her work as a master jeweller, title obtained in her years of work in Rivendell. Every now and then, vandals approach her forge and she has to use her better and better sword fighting skills. 

After her dealings with the thieves kinship, she had been in a constant alert, never taking off her armor or weapons. Because of this fierce appearance of her, always seeming to be dressed up for battles, she is generally avoided by people. But she doesn't mind, as she is slowly coming to realise that her small forge, her kinship, her friends, are part of something she could finally call as 'Home'. And at this moment, her life seems worryless. And this means the entire world to her.
