Outward Appearance

    Her hair is black and smooth as jet. Her eyes are deep grey and serene as one of the pools in the peaceful gardens of Estë. A white shimmer is about her raiment. Glimpsed from afar, she appears as graceful and slender as a willow tree bending in the wind, yet she can stand stern and tall as any proud Elf lord with her sword and shield. Her voice is wonderfully sweet but sad.
 

Background

 

      Lisseren was born in Gondolin the year Tuor found the entrance to the Vale of Tumladen. She was rather young when her whole family was caught in the doom of the city. Lisseren and her brother escaped, and for many years, they dwelled together along the western shores beside the mouth of Sirion and later in the Grey Havens of Lindon.

      Later, Lisseren's brother wedded a maiden of Círdan's folk and lived with the Sindar and Falathrim rather than the Noldor of Gil-Galad, and he persuaded his sister to stay with him. He promised to sail with her to the Blessed Realm when he felt the time was right, but he perished in the Battle of the Last Alliance.

     When her brother did not return to the Havens, Lisseren made her way to Imladris to seek tidings, but no one there knew his fate. The elves bid her to remain with them, and some of the Noldor treated her as their sister, kin long-lost who had finally returned home.

     For many long years, Lisseren has abided in the house of Elrond, and the Elves love listening to her music. But as the years passed, and the news in the Valley of lands outside became ever darker and more troubling, she was unwilling to sit idle. She resolved to help the Elven lords, and volunteered to be their messenger, and use her voice and her harp to heal the wounds of many hearts who came to Imladris.

     When the kin of Vanimar came to Rivendell, she swore an oath of fealty to Lord Anglachelm and thereby recovered the long-lost kinship with many of the Gondolindrhim.
