Outward Appearance

Naridalis presents the graceful, composed presence typical of the Elves of Lothlórien. Her features are finely drawn—high cheekbones, smooth alabaster skin, and sharp, intelligent eyes beneath neatly arched brows. Her dark hair is pulled back in a practical, elegant style, revealing the subtle points of her ears. She wears a deep green, leaf-patterned tunic reinforced with intricately tooled leather armor, adorned with golden clasps and shoulder guards shaped like stylized wings or leaves—both decorative and functional.

 

A longbow is slung over her shoulder, its design echoing the craftsmanship of the Galadhrim, and a quiver of arrows rests at her back. Her posture is alert but serene, reflecting a balance of poise and readiness. Every element of her attire—from the engraved belt to the fitted gauntlets—suggests both the artistry and martial discipline of her people. She looks every bit the seasoned hunter of the wilds: a quiet guardian whose elegance masks deadly skill.

 

Background

((Author's note: See Chronicles of Naridalis for various diary entries))

Hailing from the golden woods of Lothlórien, Naridalis is an Elf of quiet strength and deep resolve. Born beneath the boughs of Caras Galadhon, she was nurtured by the wisdom of the Galadhrim and the watchful protection of Lady Galadriel. Yet, unlike many of her kin who find comfort within the borders of their homeland, Naridalis feels the call of the wider world, her heart drawn to the wilds of Middle-earth.

As a hunter, she has honed her skills in the forests and plains, becoming an expert tracker and marksman. Naridalis walks the line between nature and civilization, preferring the companionship of the beasts of the wild to the bustle of great cities. Her bow is as swift as her step, and her eyes keen as an eagle's, allowing her to strike with deadly precision. Though a wanderer, she holds dear the beauty of her homeland and its timeless tranquility, carrying the light of Lórien with her wherever she treads.

In these dark times of the Third Age, as the shadow of Sauron lengthens, Naridalis feels the burden of her people's long struggle against the encroaching darkness. Though far from home, she is bound by duty to protect the Free Peoples, lending her bow to their cause. Despite her solitary nature, she will not hesitate to join with others in their fight against the Enemy, standing as a beacon of elven grace and deadly skill on the battlefield.

Though the journey ahead is fraught with peril, Naridalis remains undaunted, guided by the stars and the memory of Lórien's light, ever vigilant as she roams the wilds of Middle-earth in pursuit of both prey and purpose.

Naridalis is, above all, a scout and sentinel of the wild. Her bow serves the Company of the East Road, a kinship of unlikely allies drawn together by a shared cause. Within their ranks, she watches the horizon and listens to the wind - ever the first to sense danger, or the last to leave a fallen companion. Together, they tread the forgotten paths of Middle-earth, defending the Free Peoples and aiding those who cannot stand alone. Her true work is done in the wild, where danger stirs and stories are yet unwritten.
