Kinship |
Outward Appearance | Liffey has a head of unruly reddish-brown hair, curls that fall down her back almost to her waist. She almost always keeps it up in a ponytail or in a braid down her back, and rarely wears it free around her shoulders.
She has a petite build with wide hips and slender shoulders, and she usually can be seen dressed in plain colors, not wanting to draw much attention. Liffey has a very youthful appearance and doesn't look as if she could be older than her early twenties. She's short, only 5 feet and five inches.
More often than not, Liffey has at least one sword on her person that is visible, and she almost always has several blades hidden in her clothes. She tends to look worn as if she travels a lot.
Her appearance is Bree-ish, and her accent gives it away, but she is not a common face that you find in Bree. She has a few scars here and there but nothing that stands out too much.
Most who know Liffey know that she loves the idea of family and loyalty. She puts immense importance on the idea of family and yearns for a large one. She's a fairly open and cheerful person, but highly opinionated and can even be combative. Liffey does not like disruptive people and she doesn't like violent people. |

Background
Born at Ost Guruth, Liffey grew up learning how to heal at her mother's knee and she loved her home, despite it's desolate landscape. For most of her life she stayed in the Lone Lands, learning the lands and traveling with her father's caravan whenever it went to Bree for supplies. Liffey was still quite young when both of her parents suddenly died in an orc attack, and she was raised by friends of her parents at Ost Guruth.
She began healing, as her mother had, and was a friendly face to travelers who stopped at the fortress. However, restless from the day she was born, Liffey soon set out to travel to other lands and discover new places. She eventually left her home, making her way to Bree when she was still quite young.
For a short time, Liffey fell into the Blackwolds. She was young and inexperienced with brigands and didn't know what she was doing, and adapted quickly to keep herself alive. After she had spent nearly a year with them, she took her chance to escape during a raid on a farm in the Northern Bree-Fields. However, a result of her actions caused a few of her friends within the Blackwolds to die, leaving Liffey with an intense guilt and the brigands with a taste for revenge, for she had also felled one of their leaders in her escape. She fled Bree-land altogether, fearing any retribution.
Always on the move, Liffey never stayed in one place. She traveled all over, into Evendim and the Shire and the North Downs. Eventually, she grew tired of not having anywhere to return to when she was off on her travels. She returned to Ost Guruth and, finding the deed to her mother's house in Bree in her belongings, Liffey soon moved to Newharrow, in the homesteads down the road from Bree. It hadn't been touched in years, and it took a long time for her to get the house cleaned and repaired. By now she was years older, filled out and no longer the pudgy girl who had joined the Blackwolds. She didn't fear being recognized, and she never was. Anyone who had known her within them had been killed or jailed, to her knowledge.
Over the years, she began working as a guide to carry people through the Lone Lands, knowing the best and safest routes to take, and the best times to travel. She soon fell into a good crowd of people that she really loved, consisting of several dwarves and even a boy that she fell in love with.
However, the boy that Liffey loved so much went missing and she followed, disappearing from Bree and Ost Guruth both for an entire, long year while she searched for him in every place she could think of. She scoured the lands of her home, venturing into parts of the Lone Lands that she had been taught to avoid. She traveled into Bree-land, searching for him in town, in Combe, in Archet, and then in the wilds beyond the towns. Liffey trekked all the way to the North Downs but the lands were too dangerous for her to travel alone and so she turned back, returning to her parent's dusty home in Bree
After spending a year away, Liffey gave up. She settled back into her normal life, made new friends and spent time with old ones. But she was restless, and so she and a new friend traveled to Enedwaith. She looked for herself there, though she didn't know why and eventually he returned to Bree while she stayed behind, still searching for something she could not find. She spent a couple of years traveling before her feet took her back to Ost Guruth.
