the elf child had been pondering, for years now, how the magic she was born with would fade in the coming decades. it was the natural way, it was the way for all elves, but the idea of it ... of losing the special way she currently existed within the magic of the world, it created a sadness in her heart. she had often spent time communicating with the menoa tree, and sleeping within it's base roots as a child. as she thought about how that ability, too, would fade into elven adulthood her sadness grew deeper. then, she remembered the tale of how the tree came to exist, and so... she laid back against a tree of the same age as herself, in the western part of the forest, and began to sing her spells; she'd cease to be herself & would become one with the tree itself; a guardian of flora and fauna and elves alike.

but ... a familiar voice entered her mind as she began; it was the menoa tree — reaching through root and vine across the entire forest. "... no." as simply as that, the spell ended. it was this interaction that changed her true name ... her personality and nature altered to the point she became a new person in essence. from this point onwards, she has gone by the common name kelerel (no longer alanna) and her true name has been revealed to no one.

"Our children are special. They are blessed with certain gifts—gifts of grace and gifts of power — which no grown elf can hope to match. As we age, our blossom withers somewhat, although the magic of our early years never completely abandons us." ... rhunön, the elven smith, the "most skilled smith in the world." brisingr, ch. 51; mind over metal

canonly described as extraordinarily beautiful, even by the standards of the elves, with a solemn tear-drop-shaped face that appears wise and innocent in equal measure. as she is still in her youth, again using elven standards, her skin displays a faint, silvery sheen due to the child-hood power elves are born with; it is a visual aura of magic. [it is documented that, from the point of eighteen or nineteen, this youthful aura of power begins to fade until they appear as adult elves do.] she is a gifted singer and flautist, and has trained primarily with spear and sword as most all elves do. kelerel is incredibly willowy, pale-haired and skinned, and dainty ... as such some say she appears to almost 'float' when performing her aerial leaps and maneuvers in combat; like a fair flower dancing through the air.

AGE REF: she has been aged up due to the source material being y.a; thus she is eighteen years old, and is eighty-five years younger than arya dröttning.   she is based on the canon, unestablished, alanna, the elf child from paolini's third book in the inheritance cycle, 'brisingr.'

tindómiel is half a century younger than lord eldron of rivendell (who is her uncle), and more than two thousand years younger than lady galadriel of lórien. tindómiel spent several centuries speaking with the ents during her life, enjoying fanghorn forest as a welcome traveler, in addition, she has met and made friends with gandalf greyheim over her life and has explored many of the known realms of middle-earth, which she sometimes still calls by the sindarin name ennorath.

AGE REF: at the beginning of the hobbit, she would be 6,321 years old, whilst at the beginning of lord of the rings she would be 6,398 years old.  she is based on the canon, unestablished, tindómiel as referenced in tolkien's 'unfinished tales and the nature of middle-earth.'

when kelerel emerged victorious over dragwena, no one applauded; no one had ever favoured her, and no one expected her to win. the high witch retaliated at the death and defeat of her daughter and banished kel from the realm of witches, which was her right as reigning high witch. this would only end up on the death of heebra herself, and only then would the banishment unbind itself from kelerel and allow her to re-enter her home realm (trying before this time would result in her death). kelerel has no control over the laws that govern her people nor the magic in her blood, unable to reject the title of heir unless she is willing to destroy herself, or worse: have her magic stripped. — kelerel has been traveling lands and realms for almost a century since the banishment, and over time has stirred up rumours, folklore, religious uprisings, enthusiasm, and confusion as she goes.
