I DO HAVE BROWN EYES!!! (They turn kinda greenish in the mornings) as for the hair, I might brown hair, that is if I stopped dying it. Which, of course most likely won't happen any time soon.
Morai, how long have you dyed your hair? It couldn't be for the same reason I dye mine! Now I see you as looking like Carrie Fisher! Except with pink hair, for some reason...now THAT's an oddity!

It seems everyone here sees Nurumaiel in a similar way, and I am no exception. She is an elf! I even see her wearing an elvish silvery dress with draped sleeves and delicate wrought mithril head decoration (although I don't see a green stone on it...). Definitely flowing hair, dark with flecks of red-gold, perhaps. (I won't believe Elves can't have red in their hair...*snerk*)

Ah, they have no knowledge of rats or mice or birds, being indoor animals, but they have a keen taste for the culinary delights of spider sushi.
Lalwendë, your cats catch spiders? *Hides her several jars, each holding a fat black specimen of black widow, except for the one cute little rose hair tarantula who grows a little every day, bless her!* I often find little jumping spiders around the kitchen sink and one used to live in my car until he vacated suddenly at the local bank. I like to keep them around to eat the flies and mosquitoes, which I have no love for at all! We also catch brown recluses and let them go far from the house (it's a sort of karma thing...we don't kill them, maybe they won't bite us! *knock wood*).

Lyta Underhill is much akin to the Frodo that appears in her avatars. Dark shoulder-length hair, in curls; blue eyes (though I wouldn't say quite so big as young Master Wood's); hobbit breeches, shirt, waistcoat, and overcoat; a Ring about her neck and trusty old Sting at her side!
Nurumaiel, how did you know? Keep the same character as an avatar long enough and people begin to see you as the embodiment of that avatar! I think I've had a Elijah as Frodo avatar for most of my time here! Wouldn't it be funny if I changed it to Dame Maggie Smith? Then how would I look in everyone's mind's eye? *chuckles* Actually your description is sometimes quite accurate, except for two particulars. 1- my hair won't hold curls unless it is tortured, and 2-think of my eyes exactly as Morai describes hers above, except mine turn bright green in direct sunlight . I think it is some supernatural thing, like in the Exorcist, or perhaps like Harry Potter... (Isn't it interesting how many facets there can be to a single described "eye color?" Many people have more than one color to their eyes and yet they are described in terms of a single color...but here we enter into complexity!) I think I'd better stop here, lest you all decide I am some total CGI creature...

But to top it all off, perhaps I'll share my image of Neurion, as a Rohirric sort (although somewhat slimmer than the average) who likes to wear a lot of armor (or perhaps hats?). Now I'm thinking of Slash from Guns-n-Roses with Axl Rose's hair! Oh well! Maybe not a top hat!

Cheers!
Lyta
