Langen Esturi Nilme Iondu'il, Dreamweaver of Fayrin's Rest, an Elven Bard
(Pronunciation: NILL-mee EE-un-duel)
Appearance
Nilme, Circle 153- 448 AV (2/3/2024)
You have an oval face with delicate features, slightly pointed ears and sparkling violet eyes. Your silver-streaked black hair is very long and silky, and is worn loose. You have dew-kissed skin and a delicate branch of rosebuds tinged in the diluted hues of a sunrise augmenting a gracefully slender figure.
An intricate shadow emerald lotus rests on your forehead, just above your eyes.
Your left ankle has a tattoo of a school of silver-flecked violet dancerfish swimming through a rippling musical staff.
You are wearing a silversteel pendant centered with a sparkling heartstone, a brushed silver locket, a dramatic onyx shadesatin gown with a tumultuous windstorm gossamer skirt, a translucent loveglass band set with a heartstone half note and some stormy grey slippers laced with windstorm gossamer ribbons.
Nilme and Useff, as painted by Eruwyn- 439 AV (September 16, 2021) |
The textured sheet of drawing paper is drawn with: Painted in vivid colors are a pair of Elves linked by their subtlety held hands as they stand before a grand brick fireplace. The woman on the right has a delicately curved oval face with sparkling violet eyes and hair reminiscent of a meteor shower during a moonless night. Touches of silver foil are added to the strands to create a shimmering effect. Her svelte figure is displayed appealingly by a corseted alabaster gown. The man on the left has humor-filled, mismatched eyes, one gold and the other hazel. His hair is painstakingly plaited into countless beaded braids that peek out from under his charmingly tilted bowler hat. Dressed as if to contrast the female, he wears a loose shirt and pants a few shades darker than his skin. Noted at their feet in silvery script are the words, "Starfall Dinner." |
Nilme, as painted by Eruwyn- 434 AV (May 26, 2020) |
The sheet of opaque paper is drawn with: Perched at the edge of a seat is an Elven woman, her toes tucked against the cross bars of her seat. She leans forward, her expression intense, though whatever she is watching is not in the picture. Her eyes are inked with silver and enhanced with touches of foil to give them a shimmer when the light crosses them. Lips, the lower larger to give her a faint pout, are tinged pink and are slightly parted. Hair of silver-streaked black is arranged in a smooth braid that falls down her back, contrasting against the deep emerald of her gown. Her lithe figure, though motionless, seems at the edge of movement, perhaps toward whatever her gaze is set upon. Artful use of shading hints at a certain grace to the curves of her form, while the curl of her fingers draws attention to callouses there. Tucked into the lower corner is an "E" and the date, 434 years, 261 days. |
Nilme, Circle 33 (2005) |
Nilme has pouting lips, pointed ears and thick-lashed silver eyes. Her silver-streaked black hair is very long and thick, and is worn loose. She has pale skin. She is very young for an Elf. Nilme is wearing a black leather arm quiver with silver clasps, a black leather cloak trimmed in silver, a Bardic Spirit Knot hair-clasp, a delicate ivory collar with a dangling pink heart, an ivory silk blouse with delicate embroidery, a slender silver bracelet set with dark red ruby teardrops, a woven silver hip chain adorned with polished amber beads, some flowing ivory silk pants tied at the waist with pink lace, a black suede garter with narrow silver buckles, some black thigh boots, a sturdy silver backpack, a clear blue albredine ring, an albredine crystal ring, a bronze jadeite gwethdesuan and a platinum kyanite gwethdesuan. |
Nilme, as a Young Bard, abt. Circle 6- 372 AV (June 6, 2003) |
Nilme had silver eyes and long, thick, blue-black hair which she wore in an intricate Elven braid. She typically wore some Bardic Spirit Knot earrings, a light cinnamon cloak, a crimson brocade instrument case hung from a strap of woven silk cords, a snug moss green dress, an aqua glass ocarina-shaped bracelet, and some beaded sapphire velvet slippers. |
About
Interests |
Nilme, also known as Nilly Mae, Guild Mom, or Nilmeeeeeee, strives to be kind and is easily amused, generous, insecure, forgetful, and directionally challenged. She tries to focus on gratitude and keeping a positive attitude. Nilme spends her days with the love of her life, Useff Budna. They travel frequently and enjoy exploring and finding adventures. When she is composing and performing through song, story, and acting, she is truly in her element. She is a current member, and on the council of, the Tavern Troupe Performing Order, is the council chair and a member of The Arthe Repertory Team (TART), and is frequently commissioned to write original songs specific to a person or event. She was an original member of the Theren Theatre Players, which has since been irreversibly changed, prompting her decision to disassociate herself from the group. She loves participating in the always-fun Tavern Troupe events, is thrilled that the arts are extending through the Realms, and is excited when she has the opportunity to perform on stage. Daerlynn Soulmyste resurrected The Arthe Dale Concert and Performing Series in 439 AV. After Daerlynn went on hiatus, Nilme took on the responsibility for arranging and hosting the event. It is one of Nilme's great joys and a tradition she is very proud to be continuing. Helping those who are new or returning to the guild, is one of her passions. She believes very strongly in the importance of those established in the guild taking the time to welcome new bards, encouraging them, and letting them know they are vital members of a widespread, yet closely-knit family. |
