Description:
Long, flowing silver hair frames a pale, fine-boned face and cascades freely down almost to this ellons waist. Expressive eyes the colour of forget-me-nots shine with playful mirth beneath his slender brows. His cheekbones are high and his lips full and often curled into a gentle smile.
Lean and yet wiry he is of build and moves with purposeful grace, light and agile in step. His hands, though fine and slender as any of the firstborn speak of one used to the rigours of hard work and toil.
Light and melodious is his voice, sing-song and filled with merriment. Often can he be found by the shores of the sea singing in a clear ringing tone. Laid upon his alabaster brow is a circlet of artfully shaped silver wire in which sits a gem of clear blue chalcedony that catches and dances in the light.
Characteristics:
Race: - Sinda (Falathrim) Voice: - Melodious and clear
Wardrobe:
When home at the havens, Cuellindil can usually be found in a simple silk tunic that allows for free movement and is bound about his waist by a leather belt. Unadorned leather vambraces encircle his forearms protecting them from the dangers of his work. He wears light close-fitting boots upon his feet that make barely a sound, even on a coarse shingle. Colours that speak of the ocean are his delight and he wears them often.
Jewelry:
Other than the circlet worn upon his brow, Cuellindil wears a ring upon his right hand, carefully carved from driftwood. Wave patterns rim its sides and set cleverly within niches are pearls of particular beauty he has found. Around his neck, he wears a simple yet elegant necklace bound with shells and symbols of swan and dolphin whittled from wood.
Weapons:
Cuellindil was taught the short spear and the javelin favoured by the sailors of the havens, first by his father and then his older brother. He takes great pleasure and pride in their mastery and practices with them daily. Over many long years, Cuellindil has perfected his craft at making such weapons.
Perhaps the apex of his craft is a pair called Gaerythrûth (S: Ossë's Wrath) and Uinellind (S: Uinen's Song). Both are perfectly balanced and light in hand. Intricately carved along their length in Tengwar runes are stories of his people regarding the Maiar of the sea Ossë and Uinen.
Languages:
Cuellindil speaks the dialect of Sindarin formed in the Falas of Beleriand. He knows the Westron tongue but speaks it with an accent.
