Lua Silverstring [Character Bio]
Lua, a Hobbit, was born to Lugach Silverstring and an unknown male Hobbit. Tragically, Lua's mother passed away due to complications during childbirth, leaving her in the care of Tindir Anar, a grumpy but well-meaning elf residing in Rivendell. Driven by a desire to secure Lua a loving and nurturing family, Tindir embarked on a quest to find the perfect parents to raise her.
It was during this quest that Tindir's attention fell upon Mittanea and her husband Attaged, a human couple hailing from Rohan. Having already experienced the joy of parenthood with the birth of their son, Attan, a year and a half prior, Tindir believed they possessed the capacity to provide Lua with a warm and supportive home. Recognizing their love and devotion, Tindir orchestrated Lua's adoption into the caring arms of Mittanea and Attaged.
Lua's new parents, thrilled to welcome her into their family, later celebrated the arrival of another son, Mittaged, a year after Lua's adoption. Together, they formed a harmonious and loving family unit, keeping Lua's real race a secret and forging tight bonds with one another.
This secret, however, led her to believe that she was of the race of Men, much like her family. Yearning to emulate her brothers, Lua's parents allowed her to pursue sword fighting. She displayed remarkable skill in the art and continued to hone her swordsmanship into adulthood. However, as her brothers grew taller and stronger, Lua remained small in stature, which filled her with a mixture of anger and jealousy. Instead of conforming to the traditional image of a woman of the race of Men, Lua found herself burdened with an unconventional physical trait: a thick growth of fur on the tops of her feet, extending from the ankle downwards.
Disgusted by her resemblance to a Hobbit (of whom she deemed all to be lazy, useless, weak, and sheltered), Lua took matters into her own hands. Determined to appear more like the Men she admired, she resorted to a drastic and self-destructive measure. Using a knife, she would meticulously remove the hair from her feet, painstakingly ensuring that it would not regrow. The process was agonizing, but she found solace in the outcome, even though it left her with conspicuous scars marking the tops of her feet.
Lua's desperate pursuit of an appearance more aligned with her perception of Men reflects her strong desire to distance herself from the Hobbit race and its associated stereotypes. Despite the physical pain and emotional turmoil she endures, Lua is resolute in her pursuit of a self-image that she believes better aligns with her true identity.
Lua stands at 3ft 3in (99.06 cm) tall with long, curly, and unruly black hair. Lua has a fair complexion, not excessively pale but rather an average tone with subtle pink undertones. Her facial features include slightly rounded cheeks that add a touch of softness to her appearance. While her jawline has a very slight squared shape, she maintains a feminine aesthetic. Lua's eyes are one of her most striking features, perfectly round in shape with a vivid emerald green color that seems to sparkle in the light, framed by thick, dark lashes.
