History Maran was born in Rivendell, the only daughter to Sabriel and Celedwin and the younger sister to her brother Orrin--all of whom died on the way to Forodwaith. Her childhood had been filled with love and laughter seeing as she'd been not only surrounded by her family, but by others of her kind and all within the safety of Rivendell and thus Elrond's care and keeping. She wanted for nothing and spent much time learning how to sing and play the harp. Music always brought her much joy and peace, but somehow she knew her life served a greater purpose. During Maran's early adolescence, she and her brother were out frolicking about the woods and happened upon a wounded deer. It was in that moment that she knew her true calling as that of the healing arts. After the deer was tended to, she made it a point to apprentice with other elven healers in Rivendell. Her skill showed much promise and even stood out to the Istari Wizard, Uinen Alatar, who stayed in the Elven haven for a time, spending her days with the Elves and assisting them especially in the art of healing. It was Uinen, who also went by En, that took time to work with Maran, helping her to hone her skills, bringing to the forefront that which was already innate and then teaching her that much from the lands her kin were migrating to...Valinor, The Undying Lands. Watching their daughter succeed and pursue something she loved made her family quite proud and seeing her able to share such skills by helping others as well as finally be happy was more than they could ask for. Many years later, Maran's family then received word that trouble befell their kin living in Ered Luin of Lindon. Several had become 'poisoned' by a black magic they did not understand, but could only surmise to be the works of evil. The corruption of the 'mortal men' who bore their rings was on the rise, their leader seeming to gain power as he bled the northern lands dry with fear. Several of her kin fled Lindon and began their migration to the Undying Lands on the gray ships while some headed further north into Forodwaith to give aid. Those who traveled north either died or became 'poisoned'. When this word reached Maran's family, they reacted swiftly wanting to share her talents of healing in hopes to help and assist. Little did they know that their journey to the north would lead to many more deaths--including their own--leaving Maran alone and unprotected in a wild land so very far from home and more than worried about the 'poison' that seemed to be spreading amongst her people, causing them to leave Middle-Earth forever. Family She is the only daughter of Sabriel mother and Celedwin father. She also has an older brother, Orrin. All are deceased, slain by the minions of the Witch King of Angmar. Likes Singing, gazing out at the water, gazing up at the stars. Dislikes Loud noises, large crowds, excessive violence. Fears Being alone forever, never finding her true purpose in life. Best Memoryies When she and Orrin had been out frolicking in the woods and happened upon a wounded deer. Using her innate elven magic, she was able to heal the animal, giving it the precious minutes it needed to save it before bringing it back to Rivendell for proper care. Worst Memoryies When she and her family left Rivendell and headed north past the realms of Arnor into Forodwaith. Along the way, her parents and brother were slain in a melee when a group of ruthless minions sent by the Witch King himself found them. They'd been in their way on their travels to Forodwaith and thus attacked without hesitation. Her parents and brother fought valiantly while she was told to hide and then seek sanctuary in Forochel--their final destination--when the skirmish finally settled. But, in the end, no one from her family except herself had lived and now she grieves for family, feeling so alone without them. Favorite Colors Blue and purple. Sexual Orientation Very submissive, straight, has very little experience. Other Info TA 2668 - Maranwe is discovered both playing her harp and singing by her brother, Orrin, who boldly praises her for her ability and talent. Embarrassed and humble, she begs him to cease his boasting though from that day forward they make it a point to enjoy and play music together when free time allows. TA 2718 - Maranwe and her brother, Orrin, went out into the woods together and happened upon a wounded deer. It was at this time, that she realized her true calling was that of the healing arts when she was able to innately call upon Elven healing magic to help give the deer the precious time it needed to survive the transport back to Rivendell where it was cared for and fully healed. After this incident, she apprenticed under Rivendell's finest healers, making her family proud as she seemed to find happiness. TA 2868 - Maranwe comes to truly realize the meaning of her immortality as a Noldor Elf and questions whether she should one day migrate into the west with her kin to the Undying Lands when 'called' or to remain forever in Middle-Earth until the day comes when she must face the choice to endure or give up her spirit. TA 2918 - Maranwe has proven herself to become a proficient and talented healer of Rivendell, making her family proud to see her skills develop and grow all while making her seemingly happy to practicing an art and magic she holds dear. February TA 3018 - Maranwe and her family receive word from their kin residing near Ered Luin in Lindon about a 'poisonous magic' seeping from the north that is affecting many of them, causing some to dare to go northward in hopes to determine the cause while the rest continue their migration to the Undying Lands to escape the affects before it reaches them all. Immediately, Maranwe and her family set off from Rivendell to the northern wastelands to see if they can gain possible clues as to the cause of the 'poison' before heading to Lindon to help heal their kin.
