I am a 39 y/o retired hospice nurse. ( i retired early secondary to tumors in my mastoid -ear- area that has left me deaf) I do not allow my deafness to inhibit me. In fact I have incoorportated my deafness into my character. She is a elf that was injured as a infant leaving her deaf..but has taught herself the ability to read lips. This is a great advantage for her group as she is able to read the lips of her foes when the sounds of battle drowned out thier words. She was adopted by a hobbit (who found her as a infant) she is short for a elf since her growth was stunted by her abode. She has a great sense of humor that her adopted father blesssed her with. Not past mischeif..(she would put fennil seed in any admiring female hobbit's ale that had her eye on her dear pa...of course that would put a end to any long term relationship between her "da" and the lady in question!
her name is Finduilas Ancalimon but prefers the name fernelf (Fernelf was the given to her by her adopted father...he found her with a fern between her toes )
Growing up with her "da" she was taught the skill of ale making but always added her own little herbs and such to provide variety of flavor and color.
Even though she is a elf..she was raised by hobbits so thus thinks more like one...she is seeking knowledge of her birthrace..but is very sociable to all races. She has a kind heart but as stated above is not past some mischief
Fernelf will be interested in healing arts and any sort of alchemy that will be avail. She will act as a messenger between Kinships and travelers. Her other skills await more information from MEO as to what will be avail.
i felt bad when you said your your deaf are you ok
