E L I D H U

"May it be shadows call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun"

-lyrics from "May it be" by Enya

Elidhu is my character on Unbridled. She is an immortal goddess of earth, and she is my favourite character to roleplay and the one I can find muse for any second.

Her inspiration is a combination of Princess Mononoke/ Lord of The Rings/ The Pellinor series.

Her name comes from the elemental spirit type creatures in the Pellinor book series, and they are described as "an impossibly old race of immortal, invincible, elemental beings, created when the Sky shed a tear onto the Earth."

She can be seen as the personification of the abstract, though impossible to ever know. She is much like the allusive Taoist's "Way" in that the more you try to find out, the more questions you will have. She is neither good nor evil, but being of the earth hates anything to do with its destruction/ disease. She is both life and death, light and shadow, and has little understanding of mortal emotions. When you are around her you always hear an eerie music coming from seemingly nowhere..

The runes on her shoulder have three meaning to each one. They all are assigned to the passage of time/ elements/ tree life/ seasons/ death. She has ten in total. Being a goddess she also has the ability to unlimited source of different 'bending powers' but she sees them as natural and not a gift.

All in all she is a dangerous creature, but an impossible beacon of life as well.

~Kumarunga, I\'m fortunate enough to have a friend like you~ <3

Paws are better than hands.
Paws cannot forge signatures. Paws cannot pull gun triggers. Paws cannot make obcene gestures.
And so I\'m proud to be a furry!
