Naturally, being an elf who looks no more than 20 by human estimation, this can come across as rather condescending at first; but a few moments in her chatty, pleasantry-laden presence and it is clear that she means<em>mostly</em>every word that she says. Her feelings are big and genuine and her love is pure, unconditional, and offered to all. It is easy to hurt her feelings but she is prone to rely on good cheer or changing the subject when manners grow too terse. If conflict is unavoidable, she will meet it with grit that reminds everyone she is, after all, hundreds of years old and perfectly capable.<br/><br/><strong>Motivation(s):</strong>Simply put, Aerin wants to absorb as much life, culture, and happiness as inhumanly possible!<br/><br/><strong>Special:</strong>She sees in moonlight as clear as day.<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>SPELL LIST – CONTROLLING SONGS</strong></span><em>(3x a day; spells must be sung using concentration, one song at a time, in a radius of 6m diameter with Aerin at the center.

Her father, Leithon, was a worker of metals; her mother, Neliel, a potter; her eldest sister, Norunivel, a sculptor; and the middle daughter, Olthanivel, a poet. All of her family were regarded throughout the valley as masters of their crafts<em>well</em>before Aerin was born and thus, she was raised in the most artistic and inspiring environment in all of Middle Earth.<br/><br/>She grew from a loud baby who was always “singing” into a child who could parse melody and harmony before she could formulate words – which were, in fact, a song set to lyrics her sister Oltha wrote. Aerin was raised in beauty, love, and art. Her family and her home mean everything to her and she loves them openly, verbally, and without a shred of doubt or shame. Even when she was young and cheeky, she rarely quarreled; adoring her parents and sisters with starry eyes and wishing to be in the room whenever they crafted.<br/><br/>By the time she was around 100, she’d learned every instrument she could lay hands on (though preferring the lute, flute, harp, and dulcimer), and her voice had grown into something truly impressive. She played and sang for anything that would sit still long enough to listen, and wiled away many hours absorbing others’ work. Easily swept away, she was also quick to offer constructive criticism to those she thought could use fresh ears. Naturally, this bristled a few feathers and she was told to compose something of her own, which turned out to be the finest advice she ever took because she found her true calling: she was more than an aspiring virtuoso; she was a composer!<br/><br/>Once Aerin found her passion, she was consumed by it and has spent the last 300 years primarily in nature or on her balcony, composing music and performing. She has an extensive mental catalog of songs, has mastered every instrument she cared to, and has a flair for improvising music for certain situations, as she does not care for the sounds of industry and prefers to cover them.<br/><br/>During her years in Imladris, she met Bilbo and joined in on some good-natured teasing, and also met Caradryal, a High-Elf from the second age recovering for several of her lifetimes after being stabbed with a Morgul blade. When she was young, she often snuck into the Hall of Rest to sing for the patients but was especially curious about Carad, who could<em>remember</em>things she had never even read about. The Hall of Rest was a frequent stop for her, playing outside, inside, and as long as anyone there requested; though choosing her softest and sweetest compositions so as not to disturb those who needed their rest.<br/><br/>However, recent events have upset the peace of Imladris and brought with it a proverbial dark shadow on even the sunniest of days. Whispers grow of unrest and her family has mentioned sailing west on more than one occasion. Having never truly<em>lived,</em>Aerin found herself profoundly sad at the idea of parting from Middle Earth without ever having explored it, met its beautiful cultures, or learned its varied songs.<br/><br/>So, she set out from Rivendell and promised to return, though her family could not promise they would be there when she did so. There is no animosity between her and her relatives but all are saddened to be apart, even if everyone respects and understands each other’s decisions.<br/><br/>However, being alone for the first time in her life was a nerve-wracking thought and when Caradyral fully regained his strength, she sought him in the Hall of Fire, where he spoke of traveling before sailing West. Without hesitation, she asked to accompany him and to her<em>great</em>surprise, he acquiesced! The pair have been traveling for six months by now, and have gained a faithful friend and accomplice in Emberwing, a red-tailed hawk.<br/><br/><strong>Played By:</strong>Luciferia (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?action=profile)
