Here are a few pictures of my sister Finduilas and myself. It is up to you to guess which is which.

Have fun.

Thanks, Folwren.

I'm glad you posted a picture. I've been wondering lately about how you looked.
I might say the same for you - you piqued my interest after your comment...

I make my guess that the first is your sister and the second is you.

My guess as well.

I agree, I love your hair, Firefoot!

I have different hair and it's all the rage this picture thing, so... >_>

Note that the third picture was at the uber awesome Harry Potter party my friend put together (she even made all the guests wands! Yes, she is amazing.), and I was being sorted...already dressed as a Ravenclaw. And Ravenclaw is what I got. My friend also made the Sorting Hat...and wrote the 'Sorting Quiz' I was taking...

Oh, and there was a rat on my shoulder (an albino rat named Daisy), but unfortunately you can't see her....

Initially, reading a little too quickly, I thought that Folwen was playing a joke on Finduilas..."Here's me and my sister. Note her long nose, wide nostrils, penchant for oats and four legs."

Nice pictures all.

Finduilas is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
So which do you think is which, Alatar? Does Folwren pose with her horse, or does she dress in Civil War Era clothing?

I'm going to go against the flow and guess that Finduilas is the one with the horse and Folwren is the one in the dress.

And speaking of Civil War Era clothing....

That is not against the flow. Durelin and Firefoot both guessed that.

I like the picture you just sent. I love the hat.

P.S. Sometime I'll tell you who is who.

I could swear they guessed the other way around.

I defer answering until the DNA lab results are in...

Cool Civil War dress, now that I know that that's what that is.

We don't need any lab results, there is no question of our identities to ourselves!

I can give you a hint. I am older than Finduilas.

Yes. Our other sister makes Civil War dresses and that picture was taken more for the dress itself than for the person. We're her models.

Folwren - Sister with horse.
Finduilas - Sister modeling yet another sister's Civil War dress.

Probability that I'm wrong - 0.143 (one in seven). You'd think that it'd be 50:50 in guessing, or that I'd really really know, but I do have information that helped in the decision, but also factored in my innate cluelessness about such things.

Finally, a photo of Firefoot! You look lovely, and so do the sisters Finduilas and Folwren. My guess is that Folwren is the one with the horse, and Finduilas the one in the dress (which I would steal if I knew how to ).

This was from a recent field trip to a mountain for a Higher Plant Taxonomy elective class. After this was taken, I had one near-death experience after another. Have you ever felt that your whole life depended on one step, and then on the step after that, and then still on the step after that? Mmhm.
