You forgot my either shoelessness or crocs, it acctually depends on the season in the summer time I'm almost always barefoot (unless we are going to the store) and in the winter (it's very icy where I live) I will wear crocs (no socks) or go barefoot!

OH MY GOSH! How did you know my height? Lauinque didn't tell you did she?

You both got everything right, except the hair... I've got long dark (and I mean dark) brown hair, no highlights (I have only put the normal shampoo and conditioner in my hair(I've only put highlights in it once and they were almost my hair color anyway)


And I always thought that Folwren was 18 or 19... I don't know...

We got a new aid for our chancery-clerk in my school in the middle of last fall and she just looks exactly like I think Rikae looks. There's the same gestalt on her face and the exact same hairdo as Rikae has in her pic! And I've already started to notice "similar" expressions I myself think Rikae might have that she shares... and I even think your ages fit together quite nicely (and I know she has a children).

I'm afraid she thinks I'm either desperate, trying to flirt with her or then just a lunatic when I just forget myself staring at her when we meet in the teacher's coffee-room and I just think how much she resembles you Rikae...

I just can't get that connection out of my mind.

(I could have posted this to the addicted to B-D thread as well I think...)

I was dragged out shopping the other day, and one of the sales clerks in the men's department had an almost identical face as Encaitare.

Needless to say I stopped and most likely gave her an uncomfortable stare, but I had a weird moment of being shocked and slightly scarred at the same. It really didn't help that she gave the usual smile, because I felt like an idiot by then.

Though, she looked too short to be Encaitare, so at least that let me escape from having to make up a stupid excuse for being a creepy dork and starring.

Still, it is creepy when that happens. I can understand Nogrod's experience exactly, except I was more in a state of bewilderment of the other kind, I guess.

I can't explain exactly why, but I got that immediately.

Nope, she didn't tell me anything. Hmm... I can't picture you with brown hair, I guess I'll have to see you in a picture or something

Yes, 19 years old, she has pure blonde hair, and she is tall for a girl: 5'11.

I don't act like a blond, do I? Not blond and not 5'11", although I am the tallest girl in the family.

The Great Elven Warrior is most decidedly (in my mind) a freckle faced girl who is around 14 years of age, has a bobbed hair cut with hair somewhere between brown and blond...sometimes described as 'dirty-dishwater' (I didn't give it that name, so don't blame me for its bluntness).

I know that that's an incorrect picture, for you described yourself rather indepthly above, but I can't help it.

Well, I do have freckles! Dark brown hair. I thought that Folwren would have brown hair and would be kind of short...

Question

Yes Folwren! You sure got the freckles right!

I have never formed pictures of any of you in my mind, and I never thought I should until I read this thread.

To be honest I thought of you as looking like you avatar, I know it's crazy, but it is true! *shamed*

Oh! Except Folwren, you look like Sam. And TheGreatElvenWarrior of course, I know what you look like....
I am interested to know how others picture me though, but I have not been on the Downs very long so maybe nobody knows....

Well, Laurinquë, I can't help picturing you looking like your avatar, somewhat younger though and with pretty, sandy-blond curls.

And Gwathagor, I'm quite stunned. I was so certain that you had curly golden-brown hair and green eyes (that might have to do with your avvie though, as well as the fact that I always imagine you wearing clothes of that specific (quite pretty) shade of green) and were sort of willowy...

No way! If she ain't tall I'll eat my hat. I don't know why, but she has a sort of tall-ish air to her.

Ah, Li'l Green, don't eat your hat! I'm not specatcularly tall, nor particularly short. Maybe a might taller than average.

Charmed. Actually, I take that rather as a compliment - it must mean that somehow, somewhere on this vast Downs, I have behaved somewhat like Sam. Sam's my absolutely favoritest character, though I dont' think you knew that. *scratches head confusedly*
Could you tell me how you came to that conclusion? And what do you mean, "looks like Sam" precisely - can you say?

I don't know yet. So sorry. Later I may voice an opinion.

Bethberry, dear lady, I have the highest respect for you. I picture you as tall, slender, older-ish (that is, 40's), but very pretty and very young looking. You have long, straight dark brown hair. Your skin is a perfect complexion, pale and smooth and without blemish, your eyes are deep brown. You often smile and frequently laugh, and are almost always in a good mood.
You're also always wearing a long skirted dress of dark blue.

I first got this impression when I joined Rohan on the RPing forums.
