Songs made by Narwë

Description: She seems to be less of stature than the average Elf. Her very pale skin seems to give her fiery-red hair an even more flame-like appearance, given the proper light.

At first glance, she has the look of a young elf. A careful look, however, reveals that she seems to be slightly fading - as if not fully a part of this world. Any elf, or person with much knowledge of the elven lifecycle, knows that this is a sign of aging. Elves do not develop grey hair or wrinkles as they age - in fact after they reach physical maturity around age 25-30, one cannot determine the age of an Elf by her looks. (see Races of the Wild for more information).

Though she doesn't usually admit her age, indications are that she is well over 200. This might explain her tendency to refer to others as "young ones" or "children" - even when they are regarded as old by their kin.

Behaviour: If there is a constant as to how Narwë acts at all times, it is the lack of consistent behaviour. Depending on mood, activities, or people around her, she fluctuates between opposing modes of conduct. There are some trends, however:

The one major tendency is that of underexpression. The most outstanding performance may be complimented as "decent" or "as expected" if it's someone she already know has great talent. Excruciating pain will be shrugged off as "unpleasant". Truly blissful moments are "pleasing" or "not disappointing". More often there is a critique, however minor, rather than a praise. For this reason, the smallest compliment from her carries a great weight; an actual show of disappointment likewise can feel devastating for those who know her well. Thus, any feelings she might have are rarely displayed - usually, she retains an emotionless expression, and acts calml and dignified, expressing herself using a minimum of movement, using subtle variations of the intonation of her voice instead. Even when she does let her lips form a smile,it rarely extends to her eyes, which are a cold green, always serious, always inquisitive.

This may change to the opposite among those she know well. People she takes a special liking to will find her kind, warm, and helpful - but not without the occasional corrective remark. And as always, there is a flip side for her enemies, who may find her cold, unforgiving, zealotous and even cruel. And when engaging in her songweaving and other bardic performances, the full width of her emotional repertoire will be apparent. Whether any display of emotion is real, or merely an act is impossible to know; the unexpected is to be expected.

When action is required, she acts effectively, but again usually without seeming to carry any emotions. As always, this is something that may quickly change, and she may become both adventurous and even reckless, relishing in combat, destruction and death.

If she has a hobby of sorts, there is the one of drinks. She maintains a huge collection of drinks which includes almost all the major labels in Avlis, in addition to rare or off-world specialties. There's a recommendation for a drink for almost any occasion, and her magic bags hold a few hundred at all times - always ready to bring up just the right drink for anyone who need one.
