Description
Physical Description: Glynath is tall and graceful, like many elves. Her skin is fair and her hair is light brown. Her eyes are light blue with a hint of grey in them.
Personality Description: Glynath is quiet and patient. She doesn't speak much but when she does speak she speaks from her heart and words from the heart are powerful. She has an unusual love of Dwarves and is saddened by her people's negative relationship with Dwarves. Glynath is empathetic, feeling others pain strongly. She prefers to use her words and music to fight enemies rather than a sword, so she is a minstrel.
Bio
Glynath comes from a long line of minstrels. This is where her surname comes from. Laerestel means "Song of Hope." When she was a child, Glynath lived in Mirkwood. But, as she began to make the transition from child to adult, her family left Mirkwood as it grew more dangerous. They went to Ered Luin to live in the elf refuge of Edhelion. It was there that she received training for a short time from Talagan Silvertongue. Not much later, Skorgrim Dourhand attacked Edhelion and Talagan died. Glynath grieved for her teacher. After that her family moved to Duillond.
While they lived there she married Tegalad, an elf who had also lived in Edhelion. They had a happy marriage and after living quietly for over 50 years, they bore their first child, a boy. He was named Humagatchi, a name of Glynath's invention, which is not from any language.
They later also had a second child, Bluraen, a girl. Both of their children grew up to become minstrels, like their mother, as it had been a family tradition on her side.
Once, while Glynath and Tegalad were taking a walk, they wandered into Haudh Lin, and discovered a band of dwarves being attacked by wolves. The couple helped the dwarves fight off the wolves, most likely saving the dwarves from dying. The dwarves were grateful enough to allow Glynath and her family to live in Gondamon, which was primarily occupied by dwarves at the time. Glynath and her family lived there for many years. Tegalad and Humagatchi became guards of the city, while Glynath and Bluraen earned money playing music for the dwarves. While many of the dwarves have treated them kindly for their services to Gondamon, many dwarves are suspicious of them and don't think they should be allowed to live in Gondamon, especially recently, with tensions between dwarves and elves becoming strong.
After Glynath's son Humagatchi married an elf maiden named Aeronniell, the couple gave Glynath a granddaughter, Limwen. A few years after this Tegalad went to fight off goblins in Rath Teraig who were getting closer and closer to Gondamon, but he was slain. Because of this, Glynath has an intense dislike of goblins.
A few years later, Glynath and Limwen were summoned by Elrond to accompany a group of elves to investigate a dream he had. This began their adventures involving Skorgrim Dourhand and Avorthal.
