Ariel the Healer

Ariel, a native of Ost-in-Edhil in the Second Age, lived in the Galadharm (S. "Wooded City") of the haven and worked as a healer. She was painfully beautiful, but her demeanor was eternally cool. She had given her heart to a Noldo wanderer. He returned ever to Ost-in-Edhil from his adventures, bringing Ariel wondrous curios found during his travels. His last visit extended to become a lingering idyll of mirth and tenderness. He spoke of a wedding troth and pleaded for one last tramp in the wilds. Ariel never saw him again. Unable to mend the rift in her heart, she devoted herself to tending to the ills of others, before sailing into the West.
