Appearance

You see Court Bard Ruea Aensworth of Ilithi, an Elf. She has a heart-shaped face, pointed ears, sparkling silver eyes and a straight nose. Her flaxen hair is very long and straight, and is worn pulled up in a cascading ponytail secured by several strands of tiny seed pearls. She has tanned skin and a slender figure.
She is tiny for an Elf.
She appears to be an adult.
She is in good shape.

She is wearing a delicate enameled oval locket, a white gold and moonstone wedding torque, a corseted silver brocade gown with gracefully draping triple-stranded pearl straps, a dainty silverwillow ring, and a platinum engagement ring set with a brilliant diamond rose.

A silver-framed oil painting reads:

   "Ruea Aensworth, Heart of the Forest.  Painted by Artisan Cinen"

The serene Forest Elf strolls through the heart of a lonely wood, sunlight dappling through the trees and one large beam illuminating her from behind. Her lustrous flaxen hair falls in gently cascading waves from a braid threaded with seed pearls, framing her heart-shaped face and sparkling silver eyes. She is dressed in elegant finery, her skirt's hem brushing the forest floor and her head crowned with a platinum tiara. One of her hands is held aloft, raised gently to allow a tiny wren to land on it.

History

Ruea was born in a forest in "the south", which is all she has ever been interested in saying regarding it. Her parents worked as traders, and she learned Common from the sailors who came to do business with her father. These men were usually backwater and rough-around-the-edges which has resulted in her having a strong accent, and a tendency to become vulgar when irritated. Most of this accent has been cultured out of her, but still surfaces occasionally. She was a loved child, but her parents were distracted. Eventually she got bored and decided to see what else there was to do in the world.

After spending a brief time in Crossing she relocated to the province of Shard. Well liked and easy to get along with, Ruea grew to develop many lasting friendships and a firm loyalty to Ilithi. At the encouragement of her adoptive parents she joined the militia, but left shortly afterward to accept the position of Court Bard in the year 398. She is currently married to Kougen Aensworth.
