A mother-given name of insight, or Amilesse Tercenye. Also her Cilmesse, or chosen name.

Tiniant is a gentle soul, introverted, inquisitive, and shows a loving care for anything she concerns herself with. Despite having lived a long and troublesome life, she has not lost her youthful wonder nor her estel.
In her heyday she was an astronomer, studying Varda's creation at the courts of Felagund and Gil-galad. Today she is a keeper of Elostirion in Emyn Beraid, between Ered Luin and the Yondershire. There she welcomes the visiting Elven pilgrims and leads them to gaze into the Palantír.
| Friends | The other Keepers, the pilgrims, the Dwarves of the Ered Luin and the Hobbits of the Shire and Yondershire. |
|---|---|
| Relatives | None left. |
| Rivals/Enemies | No specific individuals |
| Loves | The stars (unsurprisingly). The Valar and the light of the West. Plants, bugs, bees, butterflies. Reading, singing, daydreaming, poetry. Recognizing the beauty of mundane things. Walking aimlessly under the sun- or starlight. Making others happy. |
|---|---|
| Hates | The actions of the Mormegil in Nargothrond left her mistrusting the Secondborn for many ages after. While she has overcome this attitude now, a strong dislike for the stubborn and arrogant among them remains. |
| Motivation | Enjoying the wonders of life, aiding in the healing of the fëar of other Elves. |
| Quotes | "I tried counting [all the bees in my hive] once, but I got distracted after 9375." |
