Lavris was born in Eldamar but left for Middle earth with the rest of the Noldor who crossed the Helcaraxe. Lavris lived in Vinyamar until she and her family entered Gondolin. When they arrived she spent many hours in the gardens for she has a great love for plants and animals. Consequently she has devoted her work to Yavanna, doing as much as she can to keep her patron's creations safe from the corruption and decay spread by the Evils. When Gondolin fell she fled to Ered Lindon, and eventually settled in Imladris with her husband and children where she continued her studies and trained.
