       Lanathara’s name translates (approximately; elvish is wack) to “I give part of myself freely.” Silvhen’s means “Someone who thinks of others before himself.” Alhannon and Ferona named the twins with the traits that they hoped they would embody: selflessness and devotion, mainly, but also kindness, compassion, and loyalty. Growing up, they were largely normal children who bickered, and disobeyed, and got into trouble, but they also latched onto the old tales with a fervor and took the meanings of their names very seriously.

       They both have always had large amounts of self-awareness, good at picking apart their own motivations and feelings and learning from their mistakes. When they are together, it becomes clear to onlookers that they are very similar people who simply manifest different aspects of their personality. Lanathara (mostly from her training as First) presents herself with reserve and diplomacy in situations with acquaintances or strangers, holding her cards close to her chest. Silvhen conducts himself boldly and almost brashly, though with warmth; his confidence never quite reaches arrogance. Of course, Lanathara shows her playful & bold side in more familiar situations, while Silvhen is perfectly capable of propriety when needed.
