Woohoo! ^^ new character! Hope ya like it
====
Name: Tahlavain Aeronna
Translation: Blade-spirit, law/order-keeper
Race: Elf
Age: relatively young at the age of 975
Skills: She is excellent in swordsmanship, and a champion in archery. She also knows how to hold her own when weapons are lacking.
Appearance: Dark, nearly black hair, and crystalline blue eyes, with a fair face. She usually wears light forest clothes, of elven design, but she occasionally wears elven dresses with silver lined cloaks. Always wears a cloak.
Lineage: Unknown.
Weapons: Elven long daggers, elegant bow which she herself made, and a strangely designed sword, akin to an elven design, but straighter and with a pale blue blade matching her eyes, inset with several small blue gems. It also had a deep blue hilt with silver vine designs and a large grey stone set deeply in the end of the hilt. The sword was named Corasar, Legend-Seeker.
History: Tahlavain was found as a young elf child, outside the gates of Rivendell. None knew how she came to be there, but they noticed something strange in the child as soon as she was taken in, a sort of air about her. They named her Tahlavain, meaning Blade-Spirit, for she carried, or more so dragged, a strangly designed sword when she first came, and had appeared as though she were a spirit, for no one had seen her come. She was intelligent, and strong minded, and would often be found burying herself in books of ancient texts.
When she was a bit older, she was watching the training of elven archers, and insisted on taking up a bow. Tahlavain became well known for her surpassing skill in the bow, at the young age of 16, just a mere child in elf years. But that wasn't enough. She insisted on learning the skill of both elven and broad blade. Becoming well learned in the art of combat, she would often be found sparring with older elves, masters of the art, but was never satisfied with her own skill and longed to be tested in true combat.
Her chance came when she was in her early hundreds, as she was visiting an outer village, a horde of orcs attacked suddenly with no warning. She had with her the same strange blade she had been found with as a child, which she had named Corasar, meaning Legend-Seeker. The elves accompanying her claimed they saw a strange glow in her eyes and the sword, and her fighting was unmatched, as though the spirit of some great warrior had entered the young elf maiden and controled her precise movements. Tahlavain denied this, and insisted she had not fought any better than the rest of them, and managed to convince the Elders that she deserved no praise.
Several times in the coming years the same thing was stated, but she would shrug it off. She was uncomfortable with the way the elves of Rivendell looked at her with such overwhelming respect while she went about her daily events. Tahlavain found it hard to get along with such praise that had been going about, so she did her best to avoid public battle encounters, but would often go out on her own to seek the thrill of combat. For such renowned efforts in keeping peace and providing defense and protection in several villages, she was given a second name, Aeronna, meaning Law/Order-Keeper.
