List of Nimloth headcanons in no particular order

Largely pulled out of thin air, for my own amusement

- she was a very young child during the first battle, one of the last born during peacetime. beleriand before the rising of the sun is mostly a hazy childhood memory to her

- because I think there should be more nandorin characters (and in the interest of making the whole family tree less circular) I like the hc that she's nandorin and was adopted by Galathil, a close friend of her parents, after they died on Amon Ereb alongside Denethor

- Galathil raised her in Ossiriand. Unsure if I want him to have a spouse or be a single dad. I think it would be cute if he fell in love while raising Nimloth

- Galathil would be a lord back home but the laiquendi don't bother with monarchy and nobility, so she has a pretty normal life. She's a carpenter by trade

-the Ossiriand-Doriath relationship can be delicate in the sense that they're allies and the populations are fairly interconnected but there are enough laiquendi in Ossiriand that dislike Thingol's king of all Beleriand-shtick that Nimloth (adopted kin of Thingol) treads carefully and avoids positions of authority

-they do visit Celeborn in Doriath and vice versa regularly, Nimloth contracts an embarrassing (late) teenage crush on his cool new girlfriend. After Galadriel and Celeborn leave Doriath for good they stay with Galathil and Nimloth for a while at first

-she is pretty curious by nature and has actually been north to Himring, the gap and Lake Helevorn by hitching rides with traders. Briefly met Celegorm and exchanged some friendly words (neither of them remember this encounter). She's casually acquainted with Amras and Amrod who hang around Ossiriand a lot from the beginning

-desperately wishes to give her kids an upbringing as distanced from politics and any court as she got. the first few years she really thinks they'll pull it off but of course Thingol dying gets in the way of that

-Elwing takes more after her father in looks (except a little more similar to Beren) but the twins look a lot like Nimloth

-When Nimloth is re-embodied along with the twins sshhh Elwing is just a little older than she ever was and it messes both of them up
