Firerose Arien   Firerose Boudicca Arien Parr was born in the realm of Lothlorien during the Second Age, the only child of a doting mother and father. When she was only a small age, her parents died while fighting/healing in the Last Alliance, and Firerose became an orphan. Under the careful watch of the other Lothlorien elves, Firerose spent her childhood, developing a passion for writing and a distaste for anything military, except in the rare instance of self-defense. Though taught well how to use a sword, Firerose rarely used it. When she came of age, Firerose started on a long journey to Rivendell/Imladris, where she hoped to live her life in a realm noted for its beauty, scholarship, and creativity. On the way, she passed through the mines of Moria, where she met the dwarf, Lausus, and they started a courtship, which lasted a while, until Lausus' mysterious disappearance. Arriving in Imladris, Firerose found herself truly at home, with many other elves, where she enjoyed a wonderful and lengthy career as one of the premiere poets and feast-organizers of the realm. Soon developing a passion for travel, on a journey to the Shire, Firerose met with a hobbit named Blackrose Bugg, and the two became close companions, which they still are. It is the closest thing to a family that Firerose has known. Currently, she is enjoying the fruits of a retirement in Imladris, writing for pleasure, and helping out where needed, as well as taking journeys to other realms. She has yet to return to Lothlorien, though---some memories are simply too painful to bear. Back to the top Return to the front page of the book
