Character journal: twilightminstrel
Series name: Tolkien's Legendarium
Canon notes: End of the Third Age


Species: Elf


History: Link. Picking up from where the wiki ends:
Daeron spent many years just walking, keeping to himself but also listening to rumors of all that was going on around him. He'd ply his trade as a minstrel when he needed food, shelter, medical supplies, or anything else, but then he'd vanish again. He would occasionally slip back West and see for himself the state of things, but he would never insert himself into the events that played out.


Personality:
Daeron is a wild spirit who thrives on creating music. He loves and hates freely, gives of himself utterly to those he cares most for; firstly his king and queen, Thingol and Melian, and secondly Thingol's daughter Luthien. He's like other Sindar elves, in that he loves nature and is most comfortable out under the stars in a forest. Even when his love is rebuffed by Luthien, he remains loyal (in his opinion) and does his best to keep her safe. He's willing to betray trust placed in him if it means protecting others.

His music reflects his emotions and he's able to use words and instruments to weave beauty and stories for the enjoyment of those who heard him. Even in exile he maintains a sense of pride in his music, as well as comfort in the memories he weaves into song. He's quick to learn new stories and languages with all their cultures, and use them to his advantage. When discussing songs, he's more keen to loosen up and some of his former glory as a loremaster and bard are evident in inflection and joy. Otherwise he has become almost a silent shadow.

He's become broken, fragile, and riddled with guilt over his part in Luthien's loss as well as the capture of her husband, Beren, who'd become a good friend despite Daeron's jealous actions to get between Beren and Luthien. He feels his betrayal and their loss keenly, and fled over the mountains to the East, taking himself far from the company of other elves as punishment. His fear kept him away, though his lingering sense of duty kept him sneaking back to hear news before returning to his self-imposed exile. He's fickle, slow to forgive or trust, and secretive, keeping his core self hidden once he gave up his search of Luthien. His words maintain a beauty to them, and he still enjoys music and dance and language, but mostly he goes through the motions and does what is needed to remain alive.
