#haleth headcanon

-      Haleth is considered strange by many elves and men, she is probably the only woman who leads her house and her people forward despite the many plights and deaths that her people face. She is also a formidable woman who faces her enemies battle after battle and is not afraid to defend those she loves and who believe in her.

-        Haleth is a woman of few words, don’t expect her to chat your ear of. She is very cunning, and she prefers to listen what other people are saying to make her judgement of them. Expect her to listen to you until you are tired talking, then she will offer her few words, but they will be warm with advice and comfort.

-        That being said, you can always count on her having your back. We are talking about a woman who was not afraid to go against the wishes and orders of elvish lords. If someone is coming at you, she will stand beside you, stoically bearing all the insults the other person is throwing at you. But when they are done be ready, Haleth is going to rip them a new one on your behalf.

-        She will take you on many trips around the lands you are residing in. Haleth is very in tune with nature and she wants to show you as much of its beauty as she can. Being with her means constantly being under threat and in disadvantageous position, but she doesn’t want you to despair, she wants you to see all the good things that are worth keep fighting for.

-        Haleth knows that many people judge others on appearances, and while she is more affectionate and physical in private, she is not afraid to hold your hand or to give you a kiss in front of the eyes of others. Especially if this done in greeting or parting. It is important to her that you know that she is grateful for every moment with you and in her eyes it if foolish to not express one’s love just because others are watching.

-        She is very supportive of you. Whatever you want to do she will respect and support you; she gets a personal pleasure out of seeing you grow on your own and live your life how you want. She knows you have goals, and if she sees your heart is there but you are losing the track Haleth will make sure to give you a push.

-        Because of her nomadic style Haleth cannot afford to have luxury items and delicate clothes. But she loves to spend time with you painting your faces and bodies with handmade paint. Your face paints made quite a fashion statement among her people and started a new tradition. She loves to take brushes full of paint and to graze them along your naked skin, enhancing your beauty and venerating it. The paint will stay for longs weeks on your skin until it disappears, and then your personal ritual is repeated.

-        You are her inspiration that drives her forward. After losing so much in her life, she found her solace in you, and for that you are deserving of the best. She feels guilty for not being able to provide the better life and you and others being always in constant danger. But it is that desire of her to give you everything that drives her to continue the journey to the west.

-        She has a secret dream of finally finding a place to settle. There she pictures two of you in your small newly build house. The two of you helping her sister-in-law with her nephew Haldan, maybe having a little area for goats, hunting and foraging. Just being able to give you a safe life where you don’t have to sleep with a sword by your side.

-        She loves to hold you close, she is afraid she will lose you, and sometimes in private she will clench to you in a hug. Haleth needs reassurance that you are still there and that you are alright. She loves and trusts her people, but she doesn’t want them to see that even she gets scared and hopeless sometimes. In those times she will hide her face in the crook of your neck, giving you kisses and thanking you for being her pillar.
