Born in Duillond to a pair of Sindarin elves, Laerlin has remained in Ered Luin for all of her comparatively-short life. Her name means 'Summersong', and it suits her well, for she is sweet-voiced and joyous of disposition, unhindered by the sorrow that plagues many of her kindred. She is proud to be among the refuge-guardians of Duillond, and when on duty is zealous in her questioning of strangers (though never aggressive). Rarely has she been required to enter into combat to defend her home, save against the occasional rag-tag band of orcs.
