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.

Ah, yes. I wondered sometimes if the Innkeeper should have been cranky and snarly, but once in a character, one is stuck. Still, I"m happy to hear that character came through to you. Of course, given the shenanigans going on now in Rohan, I gather the old inn is completely destroyed. Like much of Middle-earth, change works its way . . . Has your character aged at all?
