Outward Appearance

Hwiltis is a solitary character. She carries herself with pride, but is simply, even shabbily dressed. Most often she is seen in a plain leather tunic which exposes her arms, legs and unshod feet, and is made from the hide of a black wolf of Taur-nu-Fuin. Within the depths of the forests, she blends into her surroundings - dressed in light garments that give the illusion of her skin being covered in a scale-mail of leaves.

 

Her hair is a deep dark ebony. It appears black unless under bright sunlight, when a brown sheen becomes visible. She must have never cut it for the past ages as it is very, very long. Even kept in its usual practical braided style it reaches below her hips. 

 

The tan on her already warm olive skin reflects her nomadic lifestyle: rarely does she not rest under the stars. 

 

A scowling face and heavy brows above piercing green eyes don't make for the most approachable demeanor. There's a strange, unsettling intensity about her, which is only worsened by her silent disposition.

But when addressed, she mostly responds in a soft-spoken and not unfriendly (albeit brief) manner. Her voice seems to naturally have a low volume, and has a lilt to it which, beyond a noticeable link to the Greenwood, would sound vaguely foreign and strange to almost any Elf.

 

She carries her worldly possessions in a leather satchel slung across her shoulders. On her back, and in her hands at the blink of an eye, is a slightly curved, menacing looking longsword. This weapon is by far her most expensive and well-crafted possession. Even layman's eyes can recognize it as some sort of ancient masterpiece. It looks starkly out of place on her person.

Background

Hwiltis: 'silent woman' (Quenya: Quildis / Sindarin: Peldis)

A name granted by the one who called herself the Listener.

 

Melduwen: 'fair maiden of twilight' (Meltómë in the tongue of The People)

So named by the one who she in turn called Sun-lord.

 

Friends
Few. Though she isn't misanthropic, merely a loner.
Relatives
Known now to none but herself, Hwiltis is the daughter of parents who had no parents.
Rivals/Enemies
Any evil being, but she harbours a particularly intense and personal hatred for Orcs.
Loves
The Stars and their light, silence, water, Creation, the comfortable safety of the shadows, the world which is her home. Gloreloth 'Uurisaaru'.
Hates
Orcs, all they stand for and anyone they align with, the Dark Hunter who twisted them into existence.
Motivation
Staying alive, the eradication of the corruptions upon the world.
Quotes
"The sun I despised at first. Not the moon, who is gentle, watching over us along with the stars. [...] But the shadows to me are like a cloak, shielding me from danger. I find comfort in the darkness. The sun laid me bare to the eyes of the world."
