Kinship
Outward Appearance

Maillavan stands shorter compared to most of her kin, and her mild-mannerisms often serve to shrink her even further, especially in the company of those of stronger disposition. She has become thin and agile like a woodland deer, having lost some strength from the the years of vigrous training as a former soldier. Now a simple hunter dwelling in the forests of Falathlorn, simple but tailored tunics, hip-satchels and mud-crusted boots with clear evidence of mending and wear, make up most of Maillavan's wardrobe. Her complexion is more often sun-kissed for her love of the outdoors, and her hands, feet, and limbs can be scratched and calloused from the labour of a solitary life. Her hair is an interesting hue between grey and brown, as are her eyes, and is kept cropped bluntly at chin-length, braiding what she can away from her vision.
 

Regarding other features of note, Maillavan wears a single chain necklace with a pendant of a smoothed, painted rock. It looks amateurly made, and is usually kept tucked in her shirt, out of sight.

Background

What is commonly known of the elf Maillavan is that she is a lone hunter residing in the forests of Falathlorn, who can be found in the wilds of Ered Luin, and seems to enjoy the company of woodland creatures. Though solitary, she is not unpleasant, and makes herself known to the Elves of Mithlond and Lindon often enough for purposes of work, trade and, less often, merriment. She is, however, hard-pressed to share much about her past, and it is here that one will learn what Maillavan does not have the heart to make known herself. The story of Maillavan of Mithlond, is not about Maillavan at all, but a Silvan elf of the Woodland Realm: Berendis.

 

Work in progress!

Friends
Animals, trying to keep an open heart to all folks.
Relatives
Parents, brother.
Rivals/Enemies
Currently, no one specific.
Loves
Animals, song, woodlands. Quiet atmospheres, sleeping under the stars, bodies of water. Carving in wood.
Hates
Boisterous folk, parties and large crowds. Storms, hunting as a sport, small enclosed spaces.
Motivation
A decades-long journey into healing her deep wounds; a side effect of that: pursuing an ongoing self-study of healing and soothesaying practices. As of late, she is pulled from her dormant lifestyle to protect her corner of the woods.
Quotes
"Keep moving ever forth."
