#rubeniel

She was born in the late Second Age in the Woodland Realm before it became known as Mirkwood. With her family lived outside the main Halls of Felegoth in a small elven village deep in the forrest. During her youth, she spend most of her time roaming the forrest and developed a talent for tracking other creatures on their way through the woods.

When the Necromancer build Dol Guldur in the southern reaches of the Woods, the Elves living in the forrest where the first ones to feel the dark presence. The evil creatures that the Necromancer send out into the woodlands attacked many of the smaller settlements of Elves. Many lives where lost and the survivers fled into the safety of the Halls of Felegoth. Rubeniel and her family where among those who could flee, but not without losses. When they finally made it to the Halls, her older brother Aewon had fallen trying to defend their retreat. When they finally made it to the Halls, the survivors where all severly wounded and exausted.

Though they were welcomed with open arm by all the people of Felegoth, Rubeniel soon felt restless in the underground caves. After having spend all her life in the wide open forrest, she felt almost caged like an animal. So when an opportunity came along to leave the halls for a hunt for spiders that where growing bolder in the forrest, she happily agreed to be part of it.

From there on, whenever a chance came around, Rubeniel would join missions to get out of the confines of the Woodland Realm. When King Thranduil needed an escort that was versed in nature and good at wayfinding even in foreign lands to accompany Prince Legloas to deliver the news of Gollums escape to Elrond in Rivendell, Rubeniel quickly volunteered.

She greatly enjoyed spending time away from the dark forrest of Mirkwood and the stuffy Halls of Felegoth and when they arrived in Rivendell and her mission supposedly came to an end, she somehow ended up being roped into the fight against Angmar and Laerdans search for the missing half of a powerful artifact and his daughter.

Though she since been back home in Mirkwood and visited the Halls of Felegoth again, she is muhc happier on the road. Even with all the perrils the live of an adventurer can bring. She cherrishes all the friends she has made along the way and fondly remembers many adventures that where had.
