Nilawen's dark-chestnut hair flow gently around her face. She keeps them short and well kempt. Her curious and leaf-green eyes look at strangers persistantly. There are no scars to be seen on her skin, which is, unusually enough, one tone darker than most elves’. 

 Although she looks thin, she is not weak in muscle. She is mostly seen dressed in olive and wearing a cloak. A little golden coin given to her by Ardron can be seen on her person at all times, as she wears it around her neck like an amulet. She usually carries either a bow, a beautiful weapon, ornated with branch and leaf shaped carvings, or a small lute. She never forgetsver howe to bring a dagger wherever she goes. One may also notice a brown leather pouch tied onto her belt near her right hip.
