Barafinnel
TITLE:
Ethir, Feredir a Tellenistron (Scout, hunter and tracker)
DESCRIPTION:
While towering easily over the majority of men, this elf still only seems of average height for one of his kin. Or, at least, more lofty. In form he is lank and slender, but with a lightly toned musculature, long limbs supporting his frame though his shoulders may be noted as broad. Slanted, almond-shaped sea grey eyes are set either side of a straight, thin nose and his features are fine but soft; typical of an elf. His skin possesses a warm glow of one who spends much time out in the sun. Falling to his shoulders and entwined with thin braids, hair of a fiery-touched, deep brown sprouts from his head. In the right light, the red could possibly be seen more clearly.
The garb Barafinnel wears this day is of fine but simple make, and the fabric of a similar quality in its weave. Facing to the shoulders, stitched skillfully atop the main body of the shirt lends it a fancier aspect. A collar, downturned, tops the garment on either side of a lace-sinced dip which comes even with his sternum. The sleeves are long, gathered at the shoulders and before the flatter cuffs which close with brass buttons. This is cream, while the trousers beneath are of a rich, chocolat brown. Like the shirt, these are of a fine but casual make, fitting well through the hips and thighs, but largely straight-legged and cuffed at the bottoms. They lace at the front, over the lower abdomen to hold them on.
The boots shodding this ellon's feet are supple in make, and lined with fur around the cuff. However, they appear to be well-cushioned to soften any blows which might be dealt. The stitching is very good, even triple stitched, to hold up to any rigors the wearer may put upon them. On the bottoms, the soles are of reinforced leather and soft, aiding in the art of moving quietly or climbing.
PERSONA:
It would be possible that Barafinnel is renounded as a trickster. The ellon is often found in the midst of a trick of some sort, or on occasion injured when it's turned about on him. Or he has become too adamant and careless in his other pursuits. Despite his antics, he would be the first to laugh at himself. His word is his bond, and he is quite content to make himself trustworthy when it is of an actual matter.
The entirety of his time is not spent within the valley, as he does enjoy wandering and investigating the nearby lands though in these days he does not go far. Usually these are pursued alongside those whom he would trust with his life. He has an adventurous streak, but also speaks at times of the sea and Mithlond. It would say that he is in love with little more than life.
To his work, and other pursuits, Barafinnel is surprisingly dedicated, maintaining a healthy timeframe for what he must do. Aside from that, he is extremely partial to song and tale in any form. He has a habit of not just singing when he feels the whim, but also -whistling-.
HISTORY:
Barafinnel was born in the autumn months of the year 2283, of the Third Age of the Sun, to Celairgur and Sulvieryn. Imladris is the place he has called home all his life, even from before birth, and that which he ultimately considers to be his home. The name "Barafinnel" meaning "Fiery Hair" was given to him because at his birth his hair was quite a lighter shade of red, but as the young elf grew it quickly darkened to the deep, red-brown shade of his adult years. His birth was followed by that of Faeliel, fifty-three years his younger, and his only sibling. While only Faeliel kept him company as they grew, he does have a few cousins in Mirkwood and Lorien, the more eastern elven homes where Silvan are plentiful.
Celairgur had been amongst the ranks of the foresters, specifically as a tracker, and then one of the Tirith of Imladris. He began teaching the hin what he knew of his craft, once he was able, especially upon seeing that his son quickly found trouble when not given something to do. A few times he was required to admonish both of his children when the two, Faeliel being more of a mix of her mother's and father's personalities, from conspiring together with their pranks.
From his one hundred and fiftieth year to near his three hundredth, Barafinnel gave into his desire to explore the northern parts of Arda. His journeys took him several times between Imladris and Mithlond, and he did encounter Men other than the Dunedain and a few hobbits, though never had anything more than a passing affiliation with them that was ended as soon as he left for the time. At one point he had planned to journey to Mirkwood, but was off put by the dangerous aspects of the road.
At one point, one of his companions--another young elf he had grown up with--was badly injured as the group lingered around their shaws. Upon returning him to Imladris, Faeliel who had followed in her mother's steps towards being a healer, gave Barafinnel a firm chastising. Wishing to not bring harm to himself, or anyone else, Barafinnel's resolve faltered somewhat and he determined to linger more near Imladris and provide for the people of his home. Kin of blood and hearth alike.
He honed his abilities as a tracker, eventually becoming a Tellinistron and Feredir for his fair skill with the bow and tracks of animals. A few times he aided the Tirith in their duty to protect Imladris, but is only of repute typical of one such as him.
In 2985 he made one last trip to Mithlond, such as he had not journeyed in years, to see both of his parents together off from Middle Earth. His sister, Faeliel, still remains within Imladris.

Or he has become too adamant in careless in his other pursuits. Despite his antics, he would be the first to laugh at himself.
