Born over 750 summers ago to common elves in Taur-e-Ndaedelos (in her mind this is what her homeland is and will always be).  She rebukes the common name Taur-nu-Fuin or worse yet, Mirkwood,  without exception. Instilled with a fierce love of her home, kin, and loyalty to King Thanduil, Naurendal joined the ranks of the Woodland Guard where she distinguished herself in service.  As a child, she remembers her woodland home when the forest and skyline did not bear the Necromancer's taint.  This has given her a fierce hatred of undead which barely overcomes her hatred of orc and their ilk.  When her patrol came upon a human who fled into the woods from Angrarim raiders, she soon learned that a war of darkness raged beyond her homeland.  Content to heed the King's command and keep to the woods, Naurendal was prompted into defiance when her sister, Finmenel left to take a stand against this darkness.  Knowing that her sister's scholarly pursuits did not prepare her for battle, Naurendal made the painful decision to seek out her sister and bring her home.  

As Naurendal wanders the land of Middle-earth, she has been impacted by the Free Folk of various races.  Though she maintains her reserved demeanor, Naurendal now understands what brought her sister out of the forests and resist the call to the Uttermost West.  She recognized the growing threat to all of the Free Folk and lends her assistance when she can.
