An Indepth Introduction to Laelreth Starflower.

Laelreth Starflower was born to two loving parents, Abhenolor and Brennilwyn. Growing up in Edhelion peacefully, Laelreth spent most of her days with her imaginative and daring friend, Dorsi. Dorsi was an orphaned elf, who's parents were killed one day by a group of traveling Orcs. Abhenolor and Brennilwyn took her in. Dorsi, (who's real name is unknown, she is to young to remember, so was given the nickname Dorsi), was a lively child. Laelreth was always content to enjoy her garden, but Dorsi always went on about adventuring, and the perils of Middle Earth. Laelreth, like her parents, cared little for the plight of man, dwarves, or hobbits, finding herself hiding when the dwarves of the Blue Mountains would visit.

Dorsi would drag Laelreth on great pretend adventures, fighting orcs, thieving men, and rescuing ladies in distress (Not to mention the boys of the town, Dorsi would have them play the victim that needed saving). Dorsi made Laelreth promise that when they came of age, they would go adventuring. Laelreth promised Dorsi, but her parents found out, and forbid Laelreth from leaving. They decided it was best if the two girls spent time apart. Sending Dorsi to another home for awhile, Laelreth became a solitary elf, often in her gardens, writing, or just day dreaming. Dorsi was taught that home was what was important, and not to worry about the going ons outside of everything, working with the elves at the Library, learning about relics and treasures.

The day Laelreth's life changed, was the day the Dourhand lord, Skorgrím, attacked. Taken away to safety by her parents, it wasn't until after Skorgrím and his Dourhand laid waste, that Lalereth knew what happened to Dorsi. Talagan Silvertongue, charged with guarding the relics, sacrificed himself, bringing the building down around him. What was later learned, Dorsi was inside the building, and perished on that same day.

Lalereth was devastated when she learned the news. She had never known death. She spent many weeks in her garden, alone. While sitting in the flowers one day, she came to the realization that Dorsi was right. Laelreth was going to keep her promise to her friend. The plights of all Middle Earth were important, and she had power enough to do something about it. Frightened, but sure of herself, she went to speak with her parents. Her parents forbade her again from leaving, still not caring for the issues of every day life outside of themselves.

Leaving in the middle of the night, Laelreth made her way to Duillond, and from there, into the Shire. Hiding from anything that moved, she spent her first two weeks safely hidden in the Rushock Bog. Afraid for her life, she almost gave in. Getting herself together, she packed up and went on her way home. Seeing a hobbit flailing in the mud, she went over to help. Pulling the hobbit out, and saving her proved to be a turning point for Laelreth. The hobbit gave Laelreth food, and some coin for her services.Laelreth found small jobs to do around the Shire, and saved up enough money to invest in a house.

Always looking for some way to help, and always remembering her promise to Dorsi, Laelreth wanders the lands around the Shire and Bree, to help when she can. People are often shocked to see an elf, so she has kept to herself. Always shy, and modest, Laelreth helps, and leaves as quickly as she can.

Searching again for the light and warmth that was Dorsi, Laelreth continues her solitary way through Middle Earth, hoping one day to find friendship, and love that was lost to her.
