Elaera

Elaera Tintallë was an elf of the Hithaeglir (the Misty Mountains). She is half elven. She dwelt in the North of the Misty Mountains, near the High Pass east of Rivendell. She was forced to flee Rivendell as a child to her new home in Hithaeglir. Many decades after settling in a valley, she travelled to Mirkwood where she met with her friend Ithilwen, and the two began journeying together. They eventually found The Fellowship of the Fang in a cave.

Early Life
Elaera was born to a man from Rohan, Ranath. Her mother was an elf of unknown origin, simply named Lomel. As a baby, she was left in Rivendell for unknown reasons. She was adopted by a elven woman named Heranniell. Elaera has mentioned that it was her who taught her to sing. Together, the two would sing at night until all the stars appeared. For that, she was given the epessë Tintallë, Star-kindler.

The Misty Mountains
When Elaera was but a child, she was forced to flee Rivendell. She was out one morning with Heranniell. Heranniell had decided to show her the word outside the Hidden Valley, when they o were ambushed by orcs. Her adopted mother told little Elaera to flee to Rivendell, but she didn't. She feared that the elves would be angry at h er for leaving her mother, or even worse, accurse her of it instead of the orcs. Elaera ran for days, hardly stopping for anything, until she reached a seemingly safe valley, where she dwelt. She defended a hawk nest several times from orcs and other creatures, eventually befriending the hawks and their hatchlings. One day, she adopted one for her own, naming it Fealoth. ("Flower Spirit") Fealoth is used to convey letters and small game. While in the Mountains, Elaera found a skinny colt, who eventually grew to be her large chestnut stallion, Ciniver. After many years of dwelling in her -almost- impenetrable safe haven, she grew restless and journeyed away from her newer home.

Mirkwood and The Fellowship
After leaving the Mountains, Elaera soon arrived in Mirkwood. Just after coming into view of the Palace, Ithilwen raced out from its doors. Upon learning Elaera's adventurous intent, Ithilwen decided to come along with her. Instead of stopping at the Palace, the two continued forth, eventually finding the Fellowship holed up in a cave after a battle.

Personality and traits
Elaëra is kind and caring, but has deadly aim, making her an archer. She is also a healer, learning her arts from Heranniell and the other elves of Rivendell. She is dark of hair and pale of face, a trait likely inherited from her elven mother, and has the voice of her mother too. Elaera is skilful with a sword, likely from her Rohan father, but when Aule revealed her blade wicked, she discarded it, and retaught herself archery. .
