Istafalas
TITLE:
Rochdur a Arphedil Nos Forodren (Groom and Retainer of House Forodren)
DESCRIPTION:
An elleth of average shape and height, Istafalas is more muscular than some but still slender. Her skin is smooth and light like cream. Her lips are scarlet in color and a bit on the thin side. Her hair is long with some natural waves. Black as midnight her hair is, and the shine of it often catches the light when she is riding. Her eyes are green-grey with flecks of gold sparkling in them. Her face is youthful, but wisdom and grace abound in her gaze. A necklace of silver with a rare deep blue stone sits upon her neck lightly. A long tunic of blue-green fabric with tight sleeves and leggings of white are her clothes. The fabric is light and airy. A light silver chain belt circles her waist. She is wearing boots of a near white tan that come to her knees, and are made from superb leather with delicate scroll designs worked in the cuffs.
PERSONA:
Istafalas is kind, but seemingly distant at the same time. Her eyes speak volumes as the gold flecks in them often correspond with her emotions. She is fascinated with many things, and enjoys conversations with healers and poets especially. She is a great lover of horses and will talk for days about them if not guided to another subject. She is often found at the stables, and is most comfortable and graceful when riding her black stallion, Dollcenedril. As of late she has made new friendships with those in the Tirith, which brings back memories of her father who she loves dearly.
She also loves wine, but is known for only drinking one glass. She is shy at first meeting, but her eagerness to connect with each person she meets personally is evident in her questioning nature. She seems overly optimistic, but deeper conversation with her reveals a more balanced view. Even when she seems quiet and disinterested at times, do not assume such. She is always listening closely and she is cautious in her words and actions.
HISTORY:
Istafalas was born in TA 2284, to a Magor Adar and a Nethril Naneth both in the house of Nos Forodren. She was a peaceful and introverted child. Istafalas was content to be both silent in crowds and in solitude. She was well-loved by her parents, and her mother praised her often for her prudence.
Though she took to learning about herbs and healing at a young age like her mother, she grew in fondness for the company of horses. Her father was often at the stables and instilled a deep love and respect for horses in her from a young age. His parting gift to Istafalas as he sailed into the West was a black colt. She calls him Dollcenedril, as he is black as the night and his coat shines like a mirror. She trained him from day one to be strong, but gentle. Though he is still a stallion with all the passion and fire that goes with it, he is well-mannered and well-liked by all in the valley. When she is not tending to her duties as Rochdur and Arphedil of Nos Forodren, she often can be found riding or walking the valley with Dollcenedril.
As she increases in maturity, she finds much of her shyness fading. She does fear that she did not connect well emotionally with others when younger, and this fear lends itself to some lingering wariness she displays. In riding she finds freedom from conversation which is awkward for her at times. Though she is eloquent by any standard, she does have a penchant to be very inquisitive even when it does not serve her well.
