A lady of the Noldor, Fanari had very long, black hair and eyes of pale gray. She was slender and stood 6'2" tall, a willowy woman who dressed primarily in grey. Though not one of the Gwaith-i-Mirdain (S. "People of the Jewelsmiths"), she was recognized and well-liked by the smiths. She held a secret love for Finculin, but knew in her heart that he would never care for her or anyone; he was obsesessed with his work and his own powers. Orrere, observant, sensitive, and once close to Finculin (before the advent of Annatar), was aware of her feelings and suspicious of her because of them. Fanari worked primarily with herbs and alchemical substances. She used her skills to heal injured or burned smiths, and her knowledge of chemistry was valuable in the creation special fires, alloys, and treatments.
