For your character please include:

NAME: Lessawen - Finduilas' group

AGE: 18

RACE: human

GENDER: female
WEAPONS: dagger
APPEARANCE: average height, brown hair green eyes.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: She has strength of character, but is sometimes quick to anger. She often reacts without fully thinking things through. She is quiet for the most part, keeping to herself, but if the need arises she will defend herself.

HISTORY: Lessawen is fairly new to her duites as a ladies maid but she is grateful for the opportunity to be making her own way in the would. She is the oldest of 10 childeren. She has one older sister, 5 younger sisters, one older brother, and three little brothers. They are a close knit family with her oldest sister all ready married and with two children. Her brother is also married with three children. Her family was happy at her new prospects that go along with her new position but they were sad when it came time to bid her farewell. Minis Tirith was so far from their small community just on the ourskirts of Gondor. Lessawen has tried to do her job well and cheerfully but at night she becomes overwelmed by homesickness for her closeknit family and the small communtity where everyone knew everyone else. This city is quite overwhelming and she still has discovered her way around yet. She can find her way to the the market, and a few other places but she hasn't ventered out all that many times.

As an upstairs maid, it is her duty to make beds, brush hair and help the women of the household with their clothing. She can run a few errands for them, and will be doing more as she learns her way around a bit better. Her favorite thing is put the ladies hair up into fancy hair styles. She has learned so much all ready. She also spends some of her time helping the cook, when she is not needed upstairs. She loves the smells of the busy kitchen, especially in the morning when the loaves of fresh bread are being pulled from the ovens. She has taken her turn in the nursery as well. Taking care of the little ones reminds her of home, and eases the pangs of homesickness slightly. The children are so happy and innocent is a pleasure to see to their needs. And they often look for her when she is off duty for a game or a story.

Wren's post

Lessawen hopped out of bed eager to begin her day, for tomarrow would be her day off and these days always seemed to fly by. She dressed hurriedly in a simple grey dress with a white pinafore over the top. It had large pockets for holding her tools of the trade like cleaning cloths, combs, brushes, even toys for when she was helping in the nursery.

Today she skipped down to the kitchen to grap a quick bite to eat and help the cook prepare breakfast. She chatted chearfully with the kindly woman about her plans for the morrow. "I have learned of a park with a pond where swans and ducks can enjoy the water. I'm going to take my lunch for a picnic." She watched as the cook carefully took her bread from the oven, and set it on the wide countertop. Then Lessawen found a knife and began to slice the bread for the cook. Grinning at the older women and enjoying the smells of the fresh bread, she slathered the newly cut pieces with sweet butter. She helped the cook load up serving trays with many different kinds of fruit, not dishes, cold dishes, milk, cream, juice and wine.

Then she ran back upstairs to see if she was needed. The lady of the household was awake and needing some help with her buttons. She smiled when she saw Lessawen, because the new girl had proven herself to be gentle and careful in her attentions. Once she had the lady all buttoned up she began to brush her hair, being very careful not to pull too hard on the tangles, then she divided the woman's hair into two sections, braided each section and styled them in coils around her head.

When all of the ladies had dressed and there hair was fixed and combed to their satisfaction, Lessawen could begin her cleaning of the rooms. She carefully made the big beds. Plumping the pillows, and putting away the nightclothes. She carefully dusted the beautiful furniture with a clean white cloth, when it shining and gleaming. Then she cleaned the fireplace's ashes of the previous night. Scooping them into her bucket was a messy buisiness, and she often needed to clean herself when she was done.

Now it was time to turn her attentions to the floors. She swept up the dust which inevitably gets tracked in, and then it was time to mop. Getting down to her hands and she knees she wiped the entire floor's surface with a moistend cloth. She worked her way towards the door. With this room finished she made her way to the next. Thinking to herself, "Only nine more to go!"

Sophia,
I would like her to be a good maid, please. I was thinking she would serve the house of Finduilas.
