DESCRIPTION

A slender and graceful elleth is before you, about 6'4. Her long chestnut hair falls to somewhere near her waist in tiny braids, each of which is ended in a few small brass silver beads. It's pulled into a knot on top of her head, and cascades down her straight back like a waterfall. Her ice-like eyes seem to have a light of their own, and glitter with happiness. They seem to hold much wisdom for her young years, and the tiniest glint of sadness can be seen if one looks closely. Her full, pale lips seem crystalized with an icy frost, as they glitter in any type of light.

 

 She wears a tunic of a bright blue color. The neck is a boatlike opening, revealing her bare shoulders and collarbone. A thin line of silver embroidery dances along the edge, like a strand of ivy leaves. The sleeves hug her arms until they reach her elbows, then billow out, ending just past her fingertips. The ends are decorated with tiny tin bells, than tinkle softly when she moves. A long skirt of a dark woolen material falls from her waist, ending just before covering the ankles of her leathered boots.

 

 The worn leather belt around her waist holds a thin dagger, and a small pouch, both normally hidden beneath her cloak. The belt has elvish words engraved in it, though it is so worn that they can no longer be read. The cloak covering her shoulders is dark, forest green in color, with a few spots of brown showing. It is clasped near her throat with a silver rose that shines in light.

 

 A necklace graces her swan-like neck, just a simple chain at a glance. Made of spirals of metal, connected by chain links, it glitters with a silvery light. If one were to look closer, they would see finely etched silver lines on the spirals. Elven characters in Quenyan are etched into the chain too, stating the love given to the elleth.

PERSONA
 
Ilwin is a peaceful young maiden, with endless curiosity, and an interesting way to look at things. She is cheery, and isn't shakken or upset easily, but when she is, she gets quite emotional.

HISTORY
 
       Born just before dawn, in the summer of 2456 (3rd Age) Ilwinterhofal grew up in her birthplace, Imladris, with her parents and older brother Naralgos. Her father left Middle Earth, when she was yet young, though her mother remained. Soon after her father's leaving, Naralgos disappeared, and was thought to have left Middle Earth himself. Ilwin was overtaken by grief, as she loved her brother so. When he returned some years later, she was overcome with joy, and now is deeply protective of him, though she does not show it all the time.
         Ilwin took up the arts of healing, and is taught by her mother. She has boundless curiosity, and explores the world around her, occasionally getting herself into trouble. Her name, which means 'Eyes of the Sky' was suitably given, as she is always exploring and finding new things, and never loses her way.
         Ilwinterhofal loves to dance and play on her set of panpipes, made when she was younger.
