LMP -

Do you want me to edit the bio Lhunardawen wrote for Ginna? She has the character with blonde hair and blue eyes (post #76 of this thread):

AGE/GENDER/RACE/WHERE FROM: 23, female, Eorling from the north of the Middle Emnet

APPEARANCE: Stands 5'8" tall, slender but stronger than she appears, has light blonde hair almost reaching her waist, and wide blue eyes. A bit too beautiful for her own good.

BITS OF CHARACTER/HISTORY YOU FEEL MIGHT BE HELPFUL IN DEFINING THE CHARACTER: Ginna is the only child of Randvér, a widower, friend of Eodwine's from the War, and small lord and landholder. She was sent to the Eorl's keeping in hope that she will learn to "behave more properly," and while she does not mind being away from her father, their separation failed to give them a chance to address their worsening estrangement. She is determined and a quick learner, but can be stubborn and headstrong. The loneliness to which she had been accustomed helped her to easily make friends with the people around her, but had also made her highly insecure, which leads her to take advantage of Harreld's feelings for her as she had done with other men before. Too late did she realise, however, how wrongly she had treated the smith, and now desires to win back his friendship, although she has no idea how to go about doing it.

Though she does not admit it, she wants to settle down, but she doubts her father would judge her ready, if indeed he had a mind to give her away in marriage at all.

I don't see any reason why they shouldn't, unless of course you mean that we don't know if they live in Middle Earth. Well, if not them then another fury creature has to live in that marshland. Erbrand has to have something else to work with other than cowhides.

Thanks for you insight, Eönwë. I'll go and look up what types of animals dwell in a place like Rohan.

Since Middle-earth is based around the western European region, how about a lovely stoat (ermine) - HERE & HERE - in place of those North American native muskrats. Stoats have lovely fur, especially in the wintertime, when their coat turns completely white.

Thank you, Piosenniel! I'll go edit my post.

NAME: Léofric, Léof for short

AGE/GENDER/RACE/WHERE FROM: Age 16, male, human from Rohan (For Hard Winters RPG - now 21 years old)

APPEARANCE: Rather short and slight, though not without some wiry strength; blonde hair kept short, dark blue eyes. Simply dressed. (Hard Winters - has grown somewhat, now on the short side of average; has filled out and muscled up a bit).

BITS OF CHARACTER/HISTORY YOU FEEL MIGHT BE HELPFUL IN DEFINING THE CHARACTER: Before coming to the Mead Hall, Léof lived in the Middle Emnet with his father and younger sister (his mother died when he was ten). His father was something of an alcoholic and hard on him, and Léof took refuge with the horses on his farm. When he was 16 his father banished him from the farm and Léof set off to Edoras to start over, where he became the ostler of the Mead Hall. In keeping with this, he has only told a few his story, not even Eodwine. He is typically quiet and keeps to himself. He is incredibly stubborn, determined, and convinced that he can take care of himself and doesn’t need anyone, but he is generally kind and will give anyone a fair chance.
