I was born in a western wood of Irrinor. I grew up there with my family, as a part of our community (who were descended from the Beloun seed). My parents were frequently busy, so I grew closest with my brother in these young years. We learnt to ways of nature and the wild path, archery, healing, lore, art and many more skills. I never really liked the lessons and I ran away often, to seek solitude in the woods. It was on one of these occasions that I ran into a group of dark elves. From that point, I grew an interest in the world around me – I wanted to explore. When I turned 30, I and two other elves left our dwelling. For years I traveled the Arcas, learning. One day, I got news that my brother was to be married. I came home, and have stayed here ever since.

Being a Silvan elf, I grew up in Lothlorien with my brother. I remained there learning languages, lore (which I never liked), arts and combat until I was 55 or so, then decided to join a company of wandering elves. They taught me the ways of nature, healing and tracking. It was in these times that I met my best friend. He resembled my brother in nature, kind and funny - so I tended to gravitate towards him. I wandered with him for several years. During these times, I saw and learnt many things about the creatures that dwell in middle earth. On one occasion, a pack of wargs attacked in the early hours of the morning. I bare the scar still. I heard news that my brother was to be married, so I returned home for the event. I have dwelt here ever since, wandering when I shall leave again.
