Name: Taela Gender: Female Race: Elf Class: Druid Animal Companion: Baern (wolf) Alignment: LN Physical Description: Being 133 years old, 5'8", and ~140 lbs she is rather average all around for an elf. She has long brown hair with the occasional braid, bead, or bone fragment as usual in the druid fashion. She has deep forest green eyes and in a matching shade druidic scroll tattoos on her ears. Equipment Simple leather with leaf motifs, a longbow and quiver of arrows, and a sickle on her belt. She carries a simple leather travelers backpack and bedroll and wears a thick wolf fur traveling cloak. Personality: Like most elves she generally leans towards a kind and open outlook. She strictly adheres to the Balance of life and reveres all nature. She does not look down upon hunters who kill for food, since they are simply predators, but despises those who hunt for trophy kills. She is endlessly curious about things around her which can draw her to urban settings for a time, but the call of the wilderness always brings her back to the woods. She believes in the restorative powers of nature being used to correct damages caused by evil beings. While she is generally kind to all, she is extremely loyal and dedicated to those who have proven to be true companions.

I love your character's description. What's the meaning behind Baern?

There isn't one I know of. My fiance is fond of stringing sounds together to come up with names and I happened to like that one. Nymeria had been my go to name for a lot of years now, for pets, characters, usernames, etc. But I've been trying to not use it since A Song of Ice and Fire became a lot more popular than it was back when I first read it.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Aside from Ghost, she's my favorite puppy. Also, do you keep hoping to hear more about her? I feel like she kinda got left out for the last book or two.

I love your character's description. What's the meaning behind Baern? If I had to guess, it's probably a variant spelling of "Bairn" taken from Old English/Old Norse/Proto-germanic "child". =P

Nice! It certainly wasn't intended to, but that works really well. I play him as a yearling who is still rather pup-ish though he tries to be more intimidating.

Sorry, not trying to put words in your mouth (or your backstory =P), I just have a bit of a linguistics background, so these things amuse me.

I need help picking a surname. I have a few Sindarin options:
* Braig (wild/fierce) * Lavamben (animal person) * Rhoben (wild/untamed) * Erymebn (woods person) * Rhovamben (wilderness person) * Torphen (forest person) * Calemirphen (green jewel person) * Calemben (green person) * Laerorn (Tree Song) * Laerophen (Tree Song person)
Thoughts? Other suggestions?
