Súlfinnel is a young sinda. Born in Lothlorien, she grew up in Rivendell where her parents moved with her when she was only 7 years old. Her mother is a tailor, and her father a soldier and a hunter. From both of her parents she had learned useful skills though she did not perfect any of them. From the youngest age she was drawn to the wilderness and heights. There was no tree and no cliff around Rivendell that she had not climbed in her youngest years just to gaze down upon the world and feel the wind in her hair which earned her the name Súlfinnel. It was during one of her climbing journeys in the valley that she met one the great eagles, Candrovail. They were both children at the time, around the same age mentally even if the number of years in count differed. Easily a bond of friendship was born and the pair became inseparable for long years, meeting at the heights of Imladrs. They taught one another their tongues and their worlds and shared secrets and comfort of each other’s company. And it was due to this friendship that another name was given to her - Rochilvenel, Sky Rider. As the years passed and they both slowly reached their maturity, their bond did not weaken. Candrovail’s interest in elves and men and other races only grew stronger and in turn, Súlfinnel’s heart dreamt of highest peaks and open plains and endless forests. They began wandering together, at first only nearby their homes but with each passing year they went on and on, discovering the beauty of Middle Earth together. Súlfinnel acquired many skills through that time, both at home and during their journeys. With Candrovail’s help she learned the tongues of many animals and their customs. He had also taught her of the winds and clouds and forecasting the weather which turned out to be an exceptionally useful skill. From her father she learned archery and hunting, and how to wield daggers and short swords. And though she would not fit within an army, her fighting skills are good enough to protect herself in the wild from beasts and orcs. She’s been taught basics of elvish healing as well and on her own she had also learned how to treat and care for injured and ill animals. She know how to make her own arrows when she runs out of them and how to repair her belts and satchels if needed. From her mother she learned how to sew though her creations are rather plain and simple in comparison to her mother’s.
