Lhunardawen has been trapped in the Barrow!
Silmaril

Formendacil wears glasses. He is a homebody, a bookworm, not very athletic - thus giving him a complexion like a vampire's (like Eomer! ). He has straight brown hair which could never be seen messy. He has a disposition too serious for his age.

That's just how you really struck me.

This complexion thing must stop, for you see Lhuna - my mother is crazy. Actually, my complexion has lead people to suppose I am French, Italian, Greek....but never Scottish. So I'd look like a particularly healthy vampire. But only when I'm cloaked.

I think I want to have a stab at Mithalwen (not literally). I picture her as being very tall, probably about 6'4, and she has a penchant for wearing flowing green dresses. She can often be seen floating through the woods, holding in awe the wispy spectres of the trees.

As for Oddwen she looks nothing like that girl who masqueraded as her in my dream. Oddwen is your typical damsel-in-distress, at least, she has the look (she doesn't often feel distressed, she's pretty happy and cheerful most of the time). She wears dark red and black dresses and an extremely tall and pointy hat. She probably lives in a tower and spends much of her time gazing out of the window, wishing for something extraordinary and beautiful to happen to her. She has huge puppy-dog eyes.

Eomer... not the shade of a vampire? Actually, he alternates between very pale and fairly tanned in my mind.

I have a very vivid image of tgwbs that dates back to 2003 and the days of the You know you're obsessed with LotR when... threads. I picture him as very short with brown hair and big glasses, about 13 years old. (the age he was back then) Oddly enough, I still picture him as about 13, even though that was 2 years ago. He talks very fast and is constantly carrying a very large book around with him and excitedly reading aloud from it. He wears a lot of dark colors and his clothes are always a bit too big on him.
Black hair. Jet black, like all people from the Indian sub-continent. Not that I'm from there, but my parents are.
Big glasses... used to. They're small and neat now, in keeping with... *puking noise* fashion. May get contacts once my curséd conjunctivitis clears up.
I am incredibly short.
Idon'ttalkparticularlyfast.
I always have about two or three books on my person, occasionally very large.
I do not read aloud.
Dark colours? Hmmm. Maybe. Don't really care what I wear, whatever's in the wardrobe.
My clothes do fit me though.

Not in any shoes I could walk in... I know I love Hugo Weaving but I wonder if this is what you are thinking...

Not really like that. Something of a Galadriel figure.

That, Mithalwen, is just plain scary. However, I believe it is how I will see you from now on!

You are the only person from whom that is not a compliment. I can do the voice though.. 'You bring great evil with you, Ringbearer...'

TGWBS's skin is what he detests it being referred to as the "glowing" healthy tanned variety. His hair is dark and short, but a little longer at the top, worn in a very "European" looking faux-hawk. His glasses are small wire frames that are very becoming. Contrary to everything I've heard, he is approximately 21, with a bit of an Oxford accent, and is rather tall. He loves irony.
Lhuna is Eowyn. I don't care what she says otherwise. But she's got a little grey kitten that can usually be seen curled up on her left shoulder. She hates how much it sheds on her white button-up shirts (the flattering variety), but she can't resist it's cuddly warmth and how softly it purrs as it naps.

Nilp changes appearances as often as he changes personalities. He's been spotted by credible sources in a 50's sitcom style floral frock, with a lacy apron over top, and a short while later, he's been seen surfing in naught but swim trunks, not that the ladies mind. His muscular frame is highlighted in a rather becoming way by his dark tan. He's got black hair that flops, for lack of better word, over his forehead.

Feanor... how terribly wrong you are.

I like my skin... the tan is nice.

Dark, oui. Short, oui. Faux-hawk... non. I don't really care about my hair, though I'm under pressure to adopt a quiff soon. At the moment it more or less does what it wants.

True. Though they're made of plastic, so not quite.

Tall?? Ye Valar...

Worst. Prediction. Ever.

That's VERY freaky... With the exeception of the vampire-complextion, you've pretty much got it right!

To return the favour, Lhuna, for lack of a better image, is a darkish blonde, quite willowy, wears thick glasses and jean skirts, and has a few bruises from some friendly sibling fisticuffs...

Silmaril

Ignoring all of the descriptions of Formendacil thus far, here is my own:

He is tall... about 6'2" and, as a youth, must have been terribly gangly and awkward. He's now filled out a bit (but not too much... he's still slender) and now walks with a careful grace that is more learned than natural. He's got tawny blondish brown hair that flops into his eyes no matter what he does with it, and wears contact lenses. He can usually be seen with a messenger bag slung over his shoulder. Inside, one can find random references for use in every scholarly conversation known to man. Surprisingly, the bag is not all that large. It's reddish brown. He's got surprisingly blue eyes that people rarely remember... when they're asked, they say that they can't be certain, but they think they might be brown. What is actually remembered about them is the disorienting depth of them.
