About Laurana

To give you an idea of what she looks like, Laurana has gray-blue eyes and light brown/dirty blonde wavy hair.  She is thin and very tall and athletic, and is a human.  She's quite pretty, but she doesn't know or care about that. She's feisty and clever, and she's a hunter.  She is good with a sword and weapons, but her true talent is hunting; the bow and arrow.  (That sounded like a really shallow character, but trust me, she's not!)

Her grandmother Selena travled with Bilbo and Thorin and Company in The Hobbit!  Laurana and Frodo knew each other before they went on the Fellowship.  After Selena got her share of gold from Smaug's lair, she married a guy from Dale and they went to start a new country.  Between Bree the town and the Shire, there is a huge, beautiful forest with dark trees (not really, but this is a Fanfiction!).  It is called Sylvanester forest, and Selena and her husband settled it.  Is now up and running, and is run under a...good grief.  It's not a monarchy so I think it's called a Republic where they vote on who their ruler is.  Haha!

Anyway, Laurana's mom died giving birth to her, her grandpa died before she was born, and her dad died by a wild bear in the forest when she was around nine.  She later killed the bear with the help of Shadowfax.  Shadowfax had a colt, and Laurana raised him while Shadowfax went back to Rohan.  His name is Shadowmane, and he is everything a horse could be.  He's like an Arabian but taller.  He's gorgeous, and has dark eyes, is super fast (Shadowfax is the King of horses so he's the prince!), and has a silver coat.  I couldn't find a good enough picture that could portray him.  ;)

Laurana met the hobbits passing through the forest while she was hunting.  She took them to her home, and then traveled with them to Bree since they needed a guide.  There they met Strider, and Laurana didn't want to leave the Hobbits, and she also wanted to go on an adventure, so she went to Rivendell with them.  She's kind of having a love story between Legolas and Aragorn.  :)
