Oh damn, the one wife of the Finwion princes I have zero head-canons for (and whose husband is stuck to the bottom of the barrel of appealing Silm characters).

Faelineth’s father tells her to be careful around the lords, to bow and show respect and never touch their possessions, be it their hunting gear or weapons or their fine jewelry and tools. As Faelineth’s family runs the irrigation systems for the farms in Himlad, they rarely interact with the two lords, who consider her family well beneath them. Faelineth’s father used to be a lord of the Sindar, back when her family lived on the coast, though her maternal grandmother was formerly an Avari, so Faelineth does not mind the condescending attitudes of Lord Celegorm or Curufin. She is in fact grateful they seem to not see her as they ride by, intent on hunting wild deer or fox.

If her father must treat with one of the lords up at the great pile of stones they call a hunting lodge, he typically deals with the wife of the younger lord. The lady is a tall woman with black hair pined high with diamond studs and silver combs, who paints her pale skin with dashes of red powder to match the red embroidery of her gown. The lady is very proud of her many fine diamonds, her bright gowns, and her necklaces and bracelets of many-colored gems. She crafted the jewelry herself, reports those that have spoken with her, even manufactured the gemstones instead of finding them in the earth and polishing them from stone. She loves to brag of her skills and wealth, which they admit is well-earned. Faelineth’s father says that during the last visit when he handed over the estimates for this year’s grain yield, the lady of the stone manor commanded that he sit and appraise the contents of her latest endeavors, to know if he could discern any difference in the emeralds she brought out. Only one was an emerald pulled from the earth, the other two being her creations, though the second was crafted here in Himlad. She wished to know if the drop in quality from having to work in this Marred land, without the benefit of the light of the Trees or her proper tools and workshop, was readily apparent. Faelineth’s father said he could see no difference, but the lady huffed and complained of her husband.

Faelineth asks her father if he thinks it possible that she could one day ask the lady to craft her a necklace or other small token, just a seashell to wear in memory of the shore. Faelineth would not ask for anything grand, no ropes of diamonds like the lady wears. But Faelineth’s father says it is better not to ask, for the lady is too high and proud for them, and the works of her hand are for her own delight and to catch the eye of her husband. Faelineth thinks the lady of Himlad must be very lonely and unhappy, with her husband always riding at his brother’s side, her son away in Nargothrond learning craftsmanship and the dwarven tongue from King Finrod Felagund, and no workshops with her precious tools and Treelight. The lady might grant Faelineth her request, as long as she words it politely and does not ask for much, or so the Sinda maiden thinks, for the lady would delight in an audience to fawn over her skills.
