| Outward Appearance |
A tall Noldo, Orotasarin is muscular and lean. He has long, red hair and green eyes. He usually wears fashionable yet practical clothes, dazzling yet far from eccentric. He enjoys bright colors and tends to maintain a colorful and fanciful wardrobe. He hair is neat and combed, braided. There is never a hair out of line. His clothing simply must compliment his orange hair, emerald eyes, and pale skin.
He has a tendency to carry himself in a casual yet proper manner. When he walks into a room, he wants to be seen as a respectable person. He is extroverted and charismatic, a stunning figure in the room. He speaks in a formal yet friendly manner, and he is constantly smiling.
Having a history in the military, Orotasarin still carries a military stride and more stern posture. When angered, his towering frame appears even more looming and demanding due to this. His face is never a wall, and he is almost always authentic in his body language

Orotasarin is generally a more casual and good spirited individual. An extrovert, he tends to be very outgoing and energetic in social settings. He can be quite charismatic, though it's more from his genuine kindness than from any kind of manipulative goals. - Of course, back in the First Age, he did in fact use his charisma for selfish gain...
Orotasarin is also mature enough to sense a serious situation and react accordingly. He has had it rough in life, and he hopes to help individuals struggling still. He is gentle with those who need kindness and has a tendency to be a gift giver. His love language is gift giving, after all.
When his loved ones are threatened by anyone or anything, he rushes to defend them. He can be prickly with Free Peoples who cross his friends and family - or even with friends and family who cross each other. After all, it took centuries for him to forgive his own cousin for what she bitterly pulled at his wedding. Orotasarin can still be a jerk when his buttons are pushed, but he tries his best to curb the monster inside. He could best be described as a work in progress.
Orotasarin, like many Noldo, is a lover of craft. Trained by his parents and some of the greatest teachers in Tirion and Gondolin, Orotasarin is an expert metalsmith. He can craft furniture, architecture, armor, weapons... He is very skilled in imbuing his creations as well. He was one of the Gondolin smiths capable of imbuing weapons with the ability to glow blue when orcs and spiders are near. He also understands the art of imbuing silverthorn arrows.
As a husband to Mythrenniel, Orotasarin is undying in his loyalty and gentleness. He loves Mythrenniel with all his heart and has a stable, happy, healthy relationship with her. Orotasarin has flaws, of course, and has a history of blowing up at her when upset. Yet, any arguments are often resolves in a calm talk and making up. Orotasarin has always been annoyed with Mythrenniel's tendency to let others walk all over her, or to bow to the requests of others. Yet, as a former people pleaser himself, he understands and tries to help her move on from it.
As a father, Orotasarin cherishes his children. He loves his biological and adopted daughters very dearly, and he always pushes them to be their best. Gwaindoriel was a troublesome child he frequently fought with as she grew up, but he never stopped loving his estranged daughter. He and Losgliniel were very close as she grew up, and he encouraged her as a crafter. He had adored Atamirel, and he was devastated when she ran away upon discovering the truth of her parentage. Orotasarin was ashamed when he found out how much pressure he put on her to be a soldier, unaware of how much he was like his own parents with her. Orotasarin found Celebrillos himself and took tender care raising her, hoping to correct the mistakes he made with Gwaindoriel and Atamirel.
Orotasarin and Aurthiel had a shaky relationship since the beginning of their lives. A long history spans between the cousins, full of family feuds, falling outs, jealousy, guilt, and conflict. Despite it all, and despite Orotasarin's annoyances with Aurthiel, the cousins still are family to each other and would never wish terror or death upon each other. They both blame Orotasarin's father for all their problems and laugh about it. As of the late Third Age, they get along well.
