<div align="center"><strong>Miaren fer'Bran</strong></div><br/>The information given here would be essentially public knowledge.  I've left out the name of a home village, in case someone wants to use that as a 'common link'.  It's also possible that one or both of the other players have used her guide-services in the past.  If either character is elven or has elven heritage, it's also possible that the two of them have met semi-socially in one of her wanderings.<br/><br/>Description: Miaren has chestnut-brown hair to the middle of her back (usually held back with a leaf-shaped clasp), and pine-green eyes.  She stands a little under 5’9”, with a lanky build, although there is no risk of mistaking her for a male.  Like most in her class, she dresses in browns and greens, wearing a leather vest, high boots, and sturdy breeches.  She prefers a bow, but also carries a long dagger for those times when a blade is necessary - from skinning dinner to cutting a staff.  Her one ‘luxury’ is a full cloak that she commissioned of a weaver with a green warp and brown weft, a combination that – while not as absolute as the work of elves – does a fair job of blending into the leaves and branches.<br/><br/>Background:  Miaren has spent much of her life familiarizing herself with the forests – ranging from hour-long walks in the woods around her home village to weeks on end spent in the trackless stretches where only elves commonly roam.  She is on good terms with the elves – at least as good as humans are likely to get, especially as she has great respect for their ways.  With her skills, she would be able to live comfortably without much contact with others, but her thirst for travel – and expanding her knowledge – have led her to sell her services as a guide and ‘woodsman’, particularly to adventurers who have more experience in surviving battle than in surviving a snowstorm.<br/><br/>That being said, she does not hold such adventurers in disdain, often joining into the sharing of tales, whether around a tavern commons or a campfire.
