Aredhel, meaning "Noble elf", was a Noldo elf, descending from Finwë himself. She was born in YT 1362 in the Noldorin city Tirion in Valinor. Her parents are Fingolfin and Anairë. Her elder brothers are Fingon and Turgon, her younger brother was Argon. She was strong and tall, with pale skin and dark hair. Aredhel was adventurous and strong-minded. She always wore white clothing trimmed with silver which earned her the nickname and title "The White Lady of the Noldo". She was usually found riding a horse or hunting in the forests. During the flight of the Noldo she chose to follow her father and brothers to Middle Earth, while her mother remained in Valinor. She dwelled in Nevrast, where her brother Turgon founded the city of Vinyamar. Though; in FA 116 she went to Gondolin, also founded by Turgon, with her niece and Turgon himself. From the many elven houses in Gondolin she was in "The house of the King", because she was Turgon's sister. After two hundred years she desired to leave the white city and went through the forest of Nan Dungortheb. She got separated from her escort but managed to safely reach Hitlum, where her friends the Noldor lords Celegorm and Curufin, sons of Fëanor, ruled. She found they were away from their lands and she waited for them to return. She got tired of waiting and started wandering around, and one day to the forest of Nan Elmoth. Here lived "the dark elf" Eöl, creator of Galvorn. He tricked Aredhel into meeting him and they married. They had a son as well, Maeglin. She loved him deeply and told him everything about the Noldor and Gondolin, partly because she was missing her kin and the city. One day Maeglin proposed to his mother that they would return to the hidden city. Aredhel agreed and they left together. She safely returned to Gondolin, but Eöl had noticed and had also followed his own wife and son.

Why would I want to be Aredhel?

I want to be Aredhel because of her wild spirit and clever mind. Also the adventures she loves so dearly, riding and hunting in the forests. At first I applied for Melian; which I later realized didn't fit me. Melian was powerful, but quite tame as well. As a person I am adventurous, and although I related with Melian mentally for most things, it still felt something was missing. That being adventure and the stubbornness, which are both prominent features of myself and Aredhel also. Aredhel has the grace and magical feeling like Melian, but also the stubbornness and the wild nature of my own. This makes her the golden path between two choises. Applying for Melian was quite interesting, but then I didn't know of Aredhel, not until Aranwë Turramarth suggested it to me.

What version of Aredhel can you expect from me?

Well I have quite some experience roleplaying wise and stubborn Elves, and it has always been my thing to do. I suppose Aredhel is that person who just rides out and has fun in the world. A bit impulsive at times as well as strong and fierce. At the server I will also be one of those persons going on random trips, just like Aredhel loves doing. Other than that I won't focus on PVP too much, but because she is a huntress after all, I will engage in some of it. And I will stick to the server rules as I did on the Second Age server.

What would I bring to the server?

I am cheerful, and I've always brought happiness to servers. I almost never get angry, which makes it just chil to be around me I suppose. I am smart and can solve problems, so yeah. As Aredhel I would bring help to members of the faction or just other people, with building or gathering recources. Other than that, I follow rules and respect staff, as I already said one paragraph above, but it's important enough to say it multiple times!

What are my experiences?

I have roleplayed on TOS, DOTR and on SA. I have been an elf everywhere, making it that I have a lot of experience roleplaying as them. I ruled Lothlórien twice as Galadriel. One of those times on your own Second Age server! So I know how factions work and what is expected of a primary role, although Aredhel isn't the biggest character, but she still has quite some influence because of her rank within Gondolin. I have played the LOTR mod for now around 3 years, which makes it that I know the mechanics, controls, mod and gameplay. I'm also a big fan of making the mod as realistic as possible, and no cheaty ways to make the game really easy that are not lore wise or just not logical.

'''Thanks for taking the time to read my application! I hope you also sort of enjoyed reading it :D! I hope I can be Aredhel, if not, no big deal, I'll then join as a custom character. (I will join the game as MyrFlora but my vault chest is on the name of Tybereous, sorry for this inconvenience.)'''
