Elenedhel Elle by April Lee Elenedhel began her first years of life in Lothlorien, among the great Malorn trees. She had a simple and happy life with her blood mother and father, living in the small cottage amongst the great trees. Her father was a well-respected elf, being one of the most elite of the Elven rangers. He was of the Silvan elves and had, in his earlier years, journeyed to Rivendell as an envoy for Celeborn and Galadriel. That was where he met Elenedhel’s Sindar mother and they had married after few years of courtship. Her mother moved to Lothlorien with her father, where they lived together happily. It was on her 9th birthday, that Elenedhel’s father did not return from his usual scouting trip... Her mother died of grief less than three months later, leaving an orphaned Elenedhel sitting red eyed on the front steps of the cottage. Not knowing what else to do with the child, her fathers friends sent her to Rivendell, to live with her mother’s family. Edhellen grew up quiet but strong, both in mind and body. When she deemed she was old enough, Elenedhel made her presence in Rivendell known, and slowly started making more appearances in the kingdom. After being asked to formulate a nickname by her ruler, Pip, she became known as Elle to all who knew her. Weeks went by and she began to meet new people and gained many friends. She joined the Elven Army’s Rivendell Defence Force and made her way up the rank structure. It was around this time that Elle was adopted by Alkthon, and gained in her the mother that she had lost those many years ago. Now, Elle has many friends throughout Rivendell and the other Middle Earth Kingdoms. She is still a relatively quiet elf, but is known for her short bouts of insanity amongst those who know her best. Elle is now a Captain of the Rivendell Defence and helps with the running and organising of the Army as much as she can. She can be found almost anywhere within Middle Earth, whether sitting in the Rivendell Chamber of Audience or having a glass of wine in the Minas Tirith Inn.
