Once upon a time, a small Istari baby girl was born in Valinor. She was given the Elenamir, The Star Jewel. As you can guess, she was a Maia of Varda Elentari, and served the Valie faithfully until her departure. Elenamir wears her (very pretty) blue and black robes and hat. She is rather small (both short and slender), but still, you would not want to mess with her. She can be rather frightening when angered or upset. And her quick temper does not help. Her eyes are bright green. Her long, wavy dark red/light brown hair is normally pulled up or hanging out from her hat. For many years, all was well. Elena grew up happy and healthy. But soon she became restless. She was bold and adventurous and always causing mischief. Soon her home and the surrounding area became to small for her liking, so she took to traveling. She journeyed all around Aman, many times visiting Nienna in the far West. She traveled all over, but nothing seemed to end the longing for more. Soon it was obvious that all was not well with the spirited young Istari, time passed too slowly for her. She was restless and had become bored with the Blessed Realm. Her heart longed for adventures and to see wide lands and stars she had never seen before. So one day, she took leave of the Queen of the Stars and her family and undertook the long and dangerous journey to Middle Earth. Saying farewell to those she loved was the saddest moment of her life, and it still haunts her to this day. The voyage to Middle Earth was long and sad, and Elena spent most of the time weeping. She missed her loved ones, and she wondered if she was doing the right thing. She arrived at the Havens, and soon began traveling all over the strange new land. She went here and there and everywhere in between fulfilling her mission. While traveling, Elena found adventure and ways to cause mischief to ever heart's content. A little too much probably, if truth be told. She longed to end the life of traveling, to find somewhere to call her home. Even so, it was many, many years before she found a home and settled down in Isengard. It has only been very recently that Elena has hung up the old traveling cloak and settled down for a quiet life in Isengard. She is finding out that life there is anything but quiet. Elena loves her new home, and is happy as can be to be here, but she has always taken her duty to help the peoples of Middle Earth very seriously. She is always ready to go on long and dangerous journeys to fulfill the mission. Deep in her heart she knows that what she was called to do.



Elenamir, upon first glance, these robes may seem impractical, considering your adventurous lifestyle. You are such a brave wizard, not only for your courage of signing up in the colonization quest of the Eastern lands, but also just your ventures into Mordorian pubs! One would think you'd need sturdy, practical robes for such activities, but you are not the type to be predictable like that! Your robes are a layer of light blue lace over an underlay of black satin, thereby incorporating both of your favorite colors. The lace is stronger than most fabrics, believe it or not - the thread is special-ordered and can withstand much wear and tear. The light blue represents your personality because it often represents confidence and serenity - you are not much bothered by trivialities and place importance on the things in life that truly matter - friends and family, for example. The black, softened by the light blue, of course, reveals your sense of power and also mystery, as there is much we have to learn about you and much you strive to learn about the world around you. You find joy in all surroundings, from the sea to the mountains and everything in between, therefore you can feel at home in many places. However, we hope you are happy here in Orthanc and plan on staying with us!


Elena's staff is made out of some kind of wood, she doesn't know what kind though. It is a dark brownish color, with runes carved all in it spelling out her name. The top of it is rounded and in it sits a single white gem stone. Her sword is called Surestrike.
