Trastawen Findoroniel

“Findoron, I will not name my daughter ‘Trouble’ after spending ten hours in labor with her.”

“Well, I think that’s a fitting reason to give her such a name - and I can already see she will be just like me, look at that smile!"

“…That is fair.”

I'd like to introduce Trastawen, daughter of Findoron and his wife Maidhiel (whom I'm still developing); she was born in the early Fourth Age, after the last War, and grew up to be the captain of the Mirkwood Sentinels.

Trastawen shares her father's attunement to the forest, as well as a fair amount of his mischievous streak - she certainly lives up to her name. She is incredibly close with both of her parents, and learned a good deal of her mother's healing art, but she ultimately chose to become a Mirkwood Sentinel. Findoron is endlessly proud of her.

(Thranduil, meanwhile, soon learned to dread the sound of her impish giggle, which pleased Findoron even more).

Close up below:

Consider this my entry for @tolkienocweek day seven, Freeform! I know I haven't been consistent with the posts, but life’s been a bit hectic so I’m just doing what I can when I can.

I doodled this in about twenty minutes, just for fun - at some point soon I’ll get around to drawing Findoron’s wife, but enjoy Findoron being an excited girldad for now!!
