#baralinor

Hey wow thank you!!

(Because if I name something, I get attached.)

Name means “Fiery gleam in his eyes” (according to the website I got it from, someone please correct it if it’s wrong)

Is of mixed Sindar/Silvan descent.

Grey-romantic (possibly completely Aro) and Grey-Ace. He doesn’t often feel romantic or sexual desire but when he does develop a crush it is intense and lasts for an age. 

Rather than outright pursue the object of his desires, he’s a bit of a tease and prefers to find subtle ways of attracting their attention. He’s reciprosexual, and won’t go to bed with anyone unless he feels like they’re the one actively pursuing him.

Tends to prefer male-identifying partners because he is a total bottom and loves the feeling of being wanted that comes from someone else being the dominant partner, but he doesn’t like to say ‘never’ and has been with and had crushes on female-identifying elves in the past.

Current desire is to be the filling in the Oreos but since that’s unlikely to happen, and most of his attention seeking attempts have failed, he mostly just watches from afar and sighs wistfully.

Is NOT a fighter. Like at all. Like he has been banned from using weapons because he’s likely to shoot himself in the foot or stab himself with a dagger somehow.

Takes on a lot of odd jobs, like stacking barrels or organizing the pantry or cleaning the horse/elk tack.

Most of the time, not very graceful, and will occasionally trip over his own feet.

Despite that, Baralinor is a phenomenal dancer. It confuses the hell out of people because he can barely walk a straight line without stumbling over the air, and yet is absolute perfection when dancing. Same with the weapons, he can master a sword dance, but give him one to fight and he’d probably cut off his own leg.

Performs at most of the bigger feasts/festivals, and has danced in Rivendell and Lorien too, when asked. By the time he’s done most people either want him, or want to be him. 

Likes to collaborate with Camaendir, Lothling, and the other musically-inclined members of the squad to come up with new music to dance to.

Wakes up at the crack of dawn every day to go do the Elvish equivalent of yoga with Meludir. It keeps them both adequately flexible.

Even though he has no talent for fighting, he does have great talent for choreography, and a lot of the synchronized movements of the Mirkwood army were the result of him acting as the Dance Team Mom and coaching them all into step.

When not in the spotlight and not trying to tempt anyone into bedding him, he is actually rather quiet and reserved, keeping to himself and lacking a bit in social confidence. He’s the sort that isn’t ever sure if people like him as a friend or not.

Spends the most time with Elros, Galion, Feren, and the others who don’t have forest patrol duty.

And that’s what I got for now. Headcanon that elven dancing is something of a mix between fusion dance and ballet. Inspiration for this particular elf came from this and also that one male dancer in Alexander:
