Luvi Tindomerel Illuvien was born in I 562, after the fall of Gondolin and the Third Kinslaying of the elves. Her mother, a Sindarin Elf, died thirty years after Luvi's birth, because of the grief that the Kinslaying and the loss of her home in Gondolin had caused her. It was then that Illuvien changed her name to what it is now, and vowed never to show her true name until the hurts the world cause her had healed. Her father, one of the Noldor who had come with Fëanor to Beleriand, raised Luvi in one of the forests of Middle-earth. Being a smith, he forged swords for the elven warriors during the Siege of Barad-dûr, and finally went out to fight himself. He was killed during the siege. After her father's death, Luvi wandered Middle-earth for about five hundred years. Then, weary of what she had seen in the world, she came to Rivendell and found solace there. The only time she now ventures outside her home is for a trip to one of the other Middle-earth lands such as Mordor or Meduseld, or for a mission with the Troops Abroad. She lives happily in Imladris under the rule of Elrond (Pip) and Galadriel (Mori), and although her past has left a mark on her, she does not let it show when she is joking around in a Khazad-Dûm pub, or roleplaying in Rivendell with the other Elves.
