Outward Appearance

Awakening and times on ship:
Fair skinned elf-maiden, with long dark brown hair wore in tails and braids, with parts loosely falling onto her chest and back. Peaceful green eyes, like freshly cut leaves or grass. Her body as if sick, slim, with bones seemingly trying to cut through the skin. Many wounds seen on her arms and legs, with one coming onto her neck.
After being taken upon the ship as "possible addition to the crew" her wounds were treated and her torn clothes changed to robes, plain in color but with many symbols and pattern going around the edges. Leather gloves to hide the scars and protect from fire of cannons and torches. High boots with similar goal, yet mainly to make her make noise as she walks around the ship. As she was taught more she wore more belts around her waist, to hold the bags for herbs and brews, to hold the sword, a coin purse, and the map making tools. Upon her right wrist, connected to her robe and glove, hang a chain of silvery metal, with a brooch. Inside it, a moving arrow seeks it's destination.
Some might've seen her while finishing trades on land and traveling to the sale point and back to the ship by rivers. With all of above, but a white cape put on it.

[ I'm bad at coloring :( thus black and white one ]

 

After leaving the ship:
Thurinien cut her hair short, uneven strands marking her experience. Her green eyes same, but her skin no more showed sickly colors, turned slightly tanned. Her body showed it was mended, filling the space between the bones and skin with proper muscles and fat. Her robes changed from ones that her saviors gave her, to first ash-gray dress, then green robe with off-white, feathered coat with a set of brown belts.She kept the same pair of gloves, and still held the chain at her right.  High boots were changed, but she got so used to them she could not walk normally in any other kind of shoes. After her first week off the ship she was awarded with a hooded cape, black, heavily used, restored, elven made cape. Thurinien still held her sword, bags and map-tools, And now made living from learning and selling products around Cardolan and Swanfleet, sometimes daring to go north till Evendim, by Bree, and coming back through Lone-lands.

Background

Her past is vastly unknown. The begging of the story as she knows starts with the day she woke up on a ship returning to Tharbad.
 Since then she tries to remind herself of her home or her name. Having no memories of times before, she was named by one of the shipmates as "daughter of a secret" as they themselves did not know of her, simply judged her wounds as non fatal and took her hoping to either sell her belongings or get her to stay and sail with them.
 For almost 5 years she stayed with the crew, becoming their navigator, map-maker and secret keeper, traveling far and wide, wherever the waters allowed, but her heart burned with something unknown to her every time she went to the sea for longer periods of time. It would seem she wished for a place not within the waters but on earth, and songs of minstrels reminded her of that every time she heard one. Before she left the ship, by same road they first met her, nearing Swanfeelt side of Tharbad, as a farewell gift she cut her hair short, and told of her departure by leaving her long dark-brown strands, along with the dagger they gave her, on the captain's desk in the deeps of the nights calming shadows. Now she wanders in search of a new calling and secrets of her from the past, never forgetting and forever grateful what she was taught by the pirates.
Thurinien has been awake for 5 years, and off the ship for 3 months (from 10 to 25/01/25).
(13/01/25) Traveling by ruins of Silver Bastion she meets an Elf who speaks of Rivendell, and helps Thurinien clear out the way to her next destination of Bree.
(19-20/01/25) Advised by a mysterious "elf-master" she began searching for Rivendell and someone named Elrond.
(25/01/25) Began another search of Rivendell with a minstrel called Goodbottom. The duo lost track in Trollshaws and landed at the north end of Eregion(Gwingris).
