What do you Think the Barrow-Downers look like?

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Commets [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] :

Niluial: About 14-15, blonde hair and blue eyes, always talking, smiling and quite hyper, probably medium-tall.

Beren87: Really tall, dark hair and grey eyes, wears a lot of dark colours, about 25

Sophia the thunder mistress: Medium height, I know how old you are, light brown/ dirty blonde hair and greeny-blue eyes, wears glasses

Durelin: Short, black or possibly dark brown hair, grey/blue eyes

Elven Maiden Earwen: About 13, blonde hair, brown eyes, quite short

Manardariel: I read how you looked, but this is how I pictured you: Dark brown/red hair, short, green eyes, about 16.

Niluial- that's pretty much what I thought.
Beren87- well how could he be 25 if he was born in 87? Or are those just random numbers?
Sophia- I think I already said somewhere what I thought she looks like... somewhere...
Earwen- Same, except I think it said somewhere she was 11? Not sure [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]
Manardariel- well that wouldn't be fair now that I've already said [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

~Menelien

[Bekah]

Yes, I just went back and checked the date she posted. Earwen's 11.

Niluial is, I believe, 18. Got you there.

Galadriel, she says on Imladris. It's on her profile.

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

I think Nil is in 10th grade... I talked to her on PM a bit, and I can't remember exactly what grade she said, but I think 10th.

~Menelien

[Bekah]

Translate, please. I'm a Kiwi who doesn't understand about how old you'd be if you were in grade 10.

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Beren87- well how could he be 25 if he was born in 87? Or are those just random numbers?

Good point. I didn't think of that... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Translate, please. I'm a Kiwi who doesn't understand about how old you'd be if you were in grade 10.

Same, but for a Brit!

PS- any ideas about what I look like?

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

I live in America, and I assume that grade 10 is approximately 16, give or take a year... unless you skip grades or something, but that's rare.

~Menelien

[Bekah]

Well, I'm sure Nil is 18. Ask her.

I think that you - Lyra - often wear green, have dark wavy auburn hair, and you're soft-spoken.

But I have a distinct feeling that I am immensely biased because of your avatar.

Either you're a teenager or you're a lot older. I mean, you're either in your thirties or forties, or you're about 15 or 16. That's my guess anyway. Probably way out.

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

I'll PM her later. But I'm pretty sure she's in 10th grade. Which would mean she was not 18. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] I don't really know though [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

~Menelien

[Manardariel]

Lyra, was I right then? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[Tinuviel the Nightingale]

I see you as a girl age 13 to 15. Long brown hair and green eyes. Maybe around 5'4 or 5'5.

Firondoiel that is astonishingly close except I have Long black hair and brown eyes. Wish they were green though.

[dragoneyes]

I'll have a go at you Bekah, though I think someone already has, oh well, can't hurt can it? I see you being quite short (everyone I know with the name Rebekah is short) with shoulder length browny-reddy hair. And you wear thick, black, round-rimmed glasses (I know that last bit isn't true but ever scince you said you wore glasses I can't get the image out of my head).

Haven't you seen that fuzzy photo on Imladris...?

Yes, but not lately.

Dragoneyes- You've probably been mentioned, but I haven't read through. I'd imagine you to be kinda blond, maybe grey/blue eyes.

Pretty much right I'd say, though people have conflicting views on the colour of my eyes.

[LadyElbereth]

a 15ish girl who isn't quite sure of her natural hair color any longer, she has a slinky form, and loves the color green

Mmm, you've got the age right. I actually do dye my hair alot but I still know what my natural color is...I think. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
I don't have a slinky form (I wish!) and I absolutely LOVE the color green yet I like red better. Great job! I'll have to post my picture up one day.

[LadyElbereth]

Arafangwen- I picture you with long,
medium-brown hair and brown eyes. About 5'5", Athletic. Maybe plays volleyball?

Beren87- I had always pictured you to be around nineteen or twenty but if you were born in '87 that wouldn't be the case. Guess I'm wrong there. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Anyway, I always pictured you with brown short curly hair and green eyes. You're tall, athletic, outgoing, and have a way that makes the ladies' heads spin. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

[Beren87]

Anyway, I always pictured you with brown short curly hair and green eyes. You're tall, athletic, outgoing, and have a way that makes the ladies' heads spin.

Well well! You're very close. [if I may flatter myself a bit [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ]. You just got the eye color wrong, and I'm abuot mid-height.

And, I'm not quite twenty, but a lot of people seem to think I am.

[Amanaduial the archer]

I have this fear of getting someones age wrong and really insulting them. Ah well...I apologise in advance if I do that to anyone. Also, these wont necessarily be very serious. If I lable you as a cartoon character, please dont be offended!

Archer: Hmmm... probably darkish hair, fairly long, around fifteen, "normal" jeans and Top sort of clothes, ponytail/braids?? (I didn´t look at the other guesses!)

Well done, yeah! Fourteen actually- Im flattered though!- and I tend to wear my hair in a ponytail, or in two plaits. Do I have any other trousers other than jeans?! Generally mosh style, wide jeans though.

Well, tis only fair I have a go at you now Manardariel.

Manardariel: Brownish-red hair, quite long (I suppose to say about my length wont be helpful...)say about a handspan below your shoulders, smattered with occasional little braids. Green eyes, quite wide. Freckles are in order I think, but not incredibly intrusive and scary ones, just a few across your nose. Smily, cheery, friendly face, generally set in a grin.

Dragoneyes: Maybe its because of your avatar, the little dragon looks a little anime-esque. So partly I think you look a little like an anime character. Ok, another part of my brain is rolling around on the floor laughing, so i'll try again. Light brown hair, down to just above your shoulders, blue or brown eyes. Quite serious and tolerant, but not cold or boring. 15 years old.

God, Im probably so far off Im still accelerating into space...

[Arafangwen]

Mmm, you've got the age right. I actually do dye my hair alot but I still know what my natural color is...I think.

Good to know I'm right [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] everynow and then!

Arafangwen- I picture you with long,
medium-brown hair and brown eyes. About 5'5", Athletic. Maybe plays volleyball?

Good guess! But not quite. Although my hair is long compared to most, I'm not very good at volleyball(I can spike, that's about it), and don't have brown hair or eyes. I think I'm 5'5", but I doubt I'll get any taller, I was supposed to stop growing at 5'3" [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] (?). Keep guessing you guys!

[elven maiden Earwen]

Why does everyone think I'm short?!?!?!?!?!?!! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]
I'm 5' 7' and yes I'm 11 but in 13 days I'll be 12. And Why does everyone think I have blonde hair.

brown eyes. Wish they were green though.

I wish miune were blue or green too. Brown is so boring

More or less short. Above 5'3", last time I checked. Not quite tall enough to count myself as tall as Dad. Who happens to be the shorter parent in our family.

I wish I had that hair. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] But you were wrong, except about the length. I happen to be growing it as fast as I can, but it's still only shoulder-length.

Glasses - I have these thingummajig glasses, the ones that darken in the sun and go back to normal when it isn't sunny. They're oval, with browny coloured frames.

[Amanaduial the archer]

You're 5 11 and you're only in first year?

You realise that I am now inclined to hate you. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Nah, j/k, but so speaks a 14 year old who would be looking up to you physically Im afraid. *sigh* Ah well, Good things come in small packages and all that.

[vanwalossien]

I wish mine were blue or green too. Brown is so boring

Hm, I'd've liked to have brown eyes. I come from a country with four million pairs of blue eyes [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] . How do you think I look like (except the blue eyes)?

[Beren87]

You realise that I am now inclined to hate you. Nah, j/k, but so speaks a 14 year old who would be looking up to you physically Im afraid. *sigh* Ah well

Here's a 16 year old who would be looking up to you.

But just barely. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[Amanaduial the archer]

Doubtful, my friend, doubtful. Im only 5ft 1. And a half. Clinging to that half with my fingernails....

[Beren87]

Wait..that didn't come out right...

I meant...to the 5'11 girl..

*hides in his veil of idiocy*

I'm like 5'9.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Hey, tis probably my fault (Dont ever quote me on that.)

Ach, damn thee, tall people...

Wooh! Have just checked with my sister- am 5ft 2! Wow, just seven more inches and I'll be the same height as Beren.

Man, its nearly 11, and I have church in the morning. Ah well. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

My dragon is anime-ish? Okay, if you say so. Light brown/dark blonde, however you want to say it. My eyes have brown in them but when I ask people, some say blue, some say green and some say grey, so that would make it bluey greeny grey with a ring of hazel. I'm incredibly serious until you meet me in real life. And tolerant? I can keep myself from punching people in the face if that's what you mean. *stares pointedly at ElentariGreenleaf* Wayhey! I'm not boring! Glad you think so! Not 15 yet though.

Unfortunately for you Aman, you're old avatar of that man creeping through the trees (I think that's what he was doing) is pretty much how I think of you, though a bit more feminine. Hmm, not quite sure how that would work. Oh well.

[elven maiden Earwen]

5'11 girl..

Who is 5' 11'?

[Iarwain]

I've just thought of a fanciful idea! I'm going to guess what I myself look like. Based on my posts, I'd imagine myself to look like that picture of Father Francis Morgan in the Humphrey Carpenter Tolkien biography. An old, fairly chubby man with circular glasses and an expressionless face.

Of course, that's not even close (pathetic, I know) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

[Tinuviel the Nightingale]

Don't worry short people! I am incredibly short (maybe just a tiny bit taller than a hobbit) and it's enjoyable. Apart from the fact that everyone thinks you're cute *shudder*. Yeesh just once I'd like to be just a little bit intimidating. Or stunningly beautiful. Not just 'cute'. *Sigh* Oh well gotta make the best of things, right?

[Amanaduial the archer]

Yeah, I hate that when people think you're cute. I get that as well, sometimes. But only by people who don't know me too well. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] No, I lie, I can do cute. I just...dont.

Unfortunately for you Aman, you're old avatar of that man creeping through the trees

I'm an old man? He was a wood sprite, btw. Now, female wood sprites, or driads (I think) are very beautiful but...Im an old man?!

My profile got edited by one of the mods, who shall remain nameless, and the avatar must have in some way offended said mod, so said mod felt the need to edit it out. I cant seem to find it again.

[dragoneyes]

I only said old avatar. Not old man. You're still 16ish.

[Amanaduial the archer]

You're still 16ish

a little younger. Thankyou.

[Beren87]

I'm like 5'9.

"Like" meaning about 2-3 inches below that by the way. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I like to flatter myself.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Ach. Erm...she said 5 7. I just read it wrong...

Hey, look on the bright side, you're still the tallest on this thread, Beren! Oh, wait....

Like" meaning about 2-3 inches below that by the way.

*eyebrows* Uh huh. Right, just 2 or 3 inches...suuure...

[Lyra Greenleaf]

It's very wierd, even though I've seen Aman's picture on the members pics site, I can't seem to see that as her! She always seems a lot more dark and mysterious, probably long dark brown if not black hair, brown eyes, tall and about 20 or so. Completely different!

[ May 11, 2003: Message edited by: Lyra Greenleaf ]

[dragoneyes]

I am 5' 8", I got my dad to measure. But I know for a fact that Elentari is taller than me.

[VanimaEdhel]

Yay! The thread got put back to the top!

I for some reason imagine all Barrow-Downs females that I know are under the age of, say, 45, as cute little women and those over the age of 45 as learned women that you'd go to for advice. I don't know why I picture you all being short, as I am a Barrow-Downs girl and I'm 5'10". I don't know why I have this "cute" image, but I do. Especially the ones younger than I am.

Do any of you want to take a new stab at me? And Legolas isn't allowed to tell you what I really look like, as I have already sent him a picture of myself once (not that he would go out of his way to tell you or anything).

[Amanaduial the archer]

Oh great, Vanima thinks I'm cute! I dont know what to think now...

She always seems a lot more dark and mysterious, probably long dark brown if not black hair, brown eyes, tall and about 20 or so.

Oh, keep that image! I hereby ban all of thee on this thread from looking at that pic! I want that image!!!

I have asked Alk to remove it, but I think he may be sulking at me. With good reason, I guess.

I am soo flattened, Archer! Freckles.. I wish. Eyes wide.. only with eyeshadow. Redish hair.. yeah, but that´s "Loreal Si Naturelle Original Color hair dye". But hey, thanks for that one!! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Oh and Beren, if the " 5"11 girl" was me, it´s probably not right... I grew up with metric and haven´t quite figured out how to go back-and-forth. I´m 1,75 m. tall, if that helps. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[Beren87]

*eyebrows* Uh huh. Right, just 2 or 3 inches...suuure...

I'm a hobbit, what can I say. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Actually, I'm 5'7. I just had my mum measure me.

Beren87: Really tall, dark hair and grey eyes, wears a lot of dark colours, about 25

Wow, am I that depressing? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I wear a lot of bright green actually.

[Brinniel]

I am 5' 8

Really?! I imagined you to be shorter, dragoneyes.

As for me, I'm not even 5'2". But honestly, I don't feel short at all because my entire family is short and the majority of my school is under average height. What's so bad about being short anyways? I kind of like it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
