Lalwende looks about twelve years old, but she is actually much older. She has long blonde hair that can appear a bit red in the sun, and her eyes glitter grey or blue with her mood. She is an almost inexhaustible talker, but well worth the listening to. She wears glasses and is entirely unconscious to her beauty, which makes men fall in love with her upon first sight. She has a mole upon one shoulder that shows only when she is wearing that ragged old shirt that she prefers to wear when out running. She is not slender, but the extra pounds suit her extremely well, lending her a glow of health and vitality that skinnier people envy.

Meh!
I'd like to say it's all true, but it isn't! One thing you did get right is that I never stop talking - I spent many hours in 'punishment corner' at primary school for my inability to shut up - alas it was no punishment for there were many good books there. And I
am wearing glasses now, but I don't wear them if I can help it, and yes, I am remarkably unwrinkled for my age. But I think you may have to guess again.
Now...
Fordim - is not tall, although he 'thinks tall', and he holds himself proudly so that you would think he was a giant. He wears those glasses which have almost invisible metal frames (the gold coloured ones), and he has short hair which is 'messy on top'. He usually wears mis-matched jackets and trousers in the day, without a tie, and any old thing when he gets home; he somehow seems to get ink stains on his cuffs all the time so he rolls his sleeves up a lot. Secretly, he yearns for the days when a gentleman could go about in a frock coat, carrying a cane and a pair of kid gloves.
Mithalwen - has regular haircuts and likes to look neat and tidy in the daytime, but she does like the odd biscuit so she's forever checking her clothes for traces of crumbs. She sometimes wears glasses, especially when doing work on the computer, and she certainly wasn't happy about it when the optician recommended her for them. She really does have two sides to her as at home she likes to wear floaty, beautiful clothes, but nothing luridly patterned. Her laugh is ringing, especially after a few glasses of wine.
Fordim's description of Rimbaud was unsurpassable, but I can try my own, as I have a definite impression. He is tall, and has dark hair. He has been known to experiment with different beard and sideburn combinations, and can't quite shake off his old style of dress from his student days. He favours long coats in dark colours, but these days, that is about the only everyday left over from his glory years and now he has to wear a shirt and tie, so he figures they may as well be lively ones.
Child likes to wear grey and silver clothes and she
always has a book in her pocket or handbag (this handbag is actually a brown leather rucksack). She likes flowing trousers and tunics, and also long sets of beads, but these are always in a tasteful style, and only occasionally does she wear something loud, mainly for fun. She does not favour lots of make up and she has bright blue eyes, and dark brown hair.
