Sarathaela
History
Sarathaela Amvinar was born to parents of mostly Vanyarin and Noldorin descent. When Gondolin fell her parents fell with it and she was left to fend for herself, wandering the woods near Doriath. She fell prey to savage spiders while wandering north of Doriath, and fell unconscious, only to awake moments later not knowing who she is or what she was doing in such a foul place. She eventually stumbled, late in the First Age, upon a village of wild men, unkempt, unclean, and slightly wild. At first the men were distrustful of her, but they gradually came to accept her. She became one of them, adopting their customs, their traditions, christened "Radughánî", meaning Goddess in their tongue, due to her shining beauty. However, it was only when a youthful woman she knew for fifty years - now old and withered - passed away did she start questioning the nature of her own being. She stayed in the village for a hundred years, witnessing friends, loved ones, die of causes unknown, until one of her dearest friends, Ûruldä, died, and she went forth to find an answer to her questionable immortality. Radughánî spent years seeking the last piece of the mystery, looking for a reason as to why she did not die like all the others. Eventually, she met others like herself, in the Golden Realm of Lothlórien, again, unkempt, unclean, and slightly wild. The elves there questioned her appearance, but she was healed of sick and hurts, and she started afresh, relearning her people's history slowly but surely. A chance encounter with her cousin, Ravanel, whom she thought was years ago lost to her, stirred her memories of old, but still they would not recall to her. Alas, Sarathaela did not know her true name, until...
As she was reading books of old in the libraries of Lothlorien, she stumbled across a page detailing of the north of Doriath:
"Of the foul north, where spiders of old dwellt and killed any unfortunate enough to cross their paths..."
This stirred her memory, and she finally remembered her name, her memory complete after six Millenia of Hardships.
Present Day Sarathaela
In the Third Age of Middle-Earth, Sarathaela is a graceful and elegant Elf dwelling beneath Lothlórien, her new home. She is stern and cold, preferring not to show her emotions, due to recent events which have dominated her thoughts and actions. She clings dearly to strands of memories and does not easily discard them, hence her indifferent attitude. Yet, when she faces the other direction, she smiles. She cries. She feels. Like anyone would. Only the closest, dearest friends, are lucky enough to catch a glimpse of her rare smile. And even fewer foes manage to perceive her emotions before being slain at her hands.
Sarathaela has a written code of honor, to respect mutual allies unless time proves them to be folly; She never looks down upon fellow free people unless she deems them unworthy of any attention. She never underestimates any foe, be it a grovelling goblin or a mighty Uruk, because she acknowledges the strength of her enemies.
Her main flaw is her stubborness. She refuses to back down from any arguments and prefers to fight instead of settling down on reason and discussion. This has made her prone to reckless actions and dangerous behaviour, and she does not like acknowledging defeat, loathing any restraint or suffering the following capture would bring.
