JennyHallu’s characters

MAJOR CHARACTER

NAME: Linduial of Dol Amroth

AGE: 17

RACE: Human

GENDER: Female

WEAPONS: A knife currently in the possession of the Kidnapper. Only proficiency is with a bow.

APPEARANCE: Tall and slim, with dark hair and sea grey eyes. The female version of her uncle Prince Imrahil’s classic features.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Very intelligent and good-hearted, but somewhat spoiled. She has never been called upon to be physically brave, and her physical abilities are limited. Occasionally impulsive. Trained to statecraft and diplomacy, her words are likely to prove her greatest asset.

HISTORY: Lin has grown up fully aware of her position as niece of Prince Imrahil, and the dangers and responsibilities that entailed. She always believed herself prepared for what life threw at her, thanks to her father’s trust and the careful training given her by her father’s steward, as well as a multitude of tutors. However, when her father began planning her a betrothal to a dull but well-connected young man, Lin managed to end the idea by suggesting a prolonged visit to her cousin in Rohan.

MAJOR CHARACTER

NAME: Marenil of Dol Amroth

AGE: 67

RACE: Human

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: None

APPEARANCE: Dark grey eyes glint under bristly grizzled brows. Marenil walks a little bent over, and his hair is now more white than black, worn long and tied back neatly. His movements betray a bit of arthritis, but he’s still pretty spry for his age.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Marenil is mature and wise. He is not susceptible to the foibles of youth. A gentle, grandfatherly figure, but capable of sternness.

HISTORY: Marenil took his first job 50 years ago, as a groom for Linduial’s grandfather. He has spent the last 37 years as Steward of her house, since Lord Farlen first moved his growing family onto their own lands outside the city. In the comfortable peace after the War of the Ring, he was chosen to accompany Linduial on her journey to Rohan, mostly because it was not thought that she might be in any physical danger.

MINOR CHARACTER

NAME: Lord Farlen of Dol Amroth

AGE: 58

RACE: Human

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: None

APPEARANCE: Tall and straight even after many years, Farlen represents the best of his people. No grey mars his dark hair, and his steely eyes have the same firm strength of his brother and his King.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Noble and honourable, Farlen is a good man and a good Lord. His main weakness is his love of his younger daughter, who reminds him of the bride he took so many years ago. He is a forceful man, though rarely takes up a sword anymore, having instead two strong young men for sons, and a son-in-law only two days’ travel from Dol Amroth.

HISTORY: Farlen is the younger brother of Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth, and the greatness of his house is a matter of common and uncontested knowledge. He has never been one to seek glory, but his honest mien and commanding presence have garnered honour and respect nonetheless.

MINOR CHARACTER

NAME: Queen Lothiriel of Rohan

AGE: 35?

RACE: Human

GENDER: Female

WEAPONS: None

APPEARANCE: Tall and strong and proud, dark-haired and grey eyed, like the rest of her family and people.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Lothiriel can be somewhat imposing at times. She is the possessor of a rather fierce temper, kept under tight rein. She is very protective of her family, and both her own and her husband’s people. She is deeply happy in her marriage.

HISTORY: As related by Tolkien.
