Tall and agile, with more than a little strength in her sword and hammer arm, Taminniel has the 'common' colouring of her folk; dark hair, grey eyes and a fair complexion. Her face is oval and her features slightly more angular than many. This adds to her somewhat 'horse-like' appearance. She is certainly no beauty as measured by the Noldor, but has ample 'character' derived from her long life experiences.

Though sometimes brusque and commander-like in manner, she is not usually dour. She does prefer long periods of time alone, but is comfortable in company of others of her kind.

Often garbed in black, or wearing a smith's apron over plain clothing, she will don elegant robes should a situation require it.
