The story of Aeltáewe

was born a Lady of Gondor on February 16, 22 years ago in Ithilien, though I am half Rohirric. My mother, who was born and raised near Edoras, named me Aeltáewe, which means perfect in the Rohirric tongue, though I feel I am far from it. My father, who was a lord of Gondor and was an experienced swordsman, had lived in the city of Minas Tirith since he was born 30 years earlier. My parents and I were very close when I was young, and because I was an only child, we were inseparable. They were completely devoted to me, and would do anything I asked of them, though I did not very often. I loved them more than anything because of that and would have died for them.

y ancestry on my mother's side reaches back to Thengel. My mother being the daughter of Morwen made me The Lady Eowyn's cousin and Lord Eomer's younger cousin. As I became older, I took the likeness of my cousin Eowyn. My blue eyes became a deep grey, my thick golden hair lengthened down to my waist, and I was constantly mistaken for her. Another reason I was frequently compared to her was because of my constant stubbornness and relentlessness. My father, though of less noble blood, was a Lord of Gondor and was very well respected for his swordsmanship and bravery.

hen I was only 7 years old, my mother became very sick with a mysterious illness that left her very weak. She was restricted to bed rest by the doctor and died shortly after that in the summer. Unable to deal with the loss of my mother, my father died of a broken heart about a year later, after much suffering, leaving me with no living relatives. My parent's death angered me and made me very serious and stern. After many years of pain, I decided to take up the art of swordsmanship to defend myself against foes at the age of 15.

urious about my mother's Rohirric heritage, and not wanting to remain in my father's homeland, I decided to move to Edoras in Rohan that same year. There I was quickly trained in the art of sword fighting in the King's palace and then joined the army. For many years I practiced tediously under my advisor until I became deadly with a blade and knife. I fought in many battles valiantly alongside men and for 5 years was very happy living in Rohan. As satisfied as I was, I still felt there was a part of my life was missing that I nedded to get back.

hen I was 20, I decided that it was time to face my fears and moved back to my fathers home in Minas Tirith. I came to the White City and found a home in the fifth circle. I now feel truly happy with my life now, though sometimes I still long for my true home in Ithilien, where I was born. I have found a wonderful home in Minas Tirith, and do not plan to leave anytime soon.
