Nyellaiwe

Name: Nyellaiwe

Face: Rosario Dawson

Race: Corsair from Umbar

Bio: Deciding to play it low-key in Gondolin as a guard until she gets her bearings - that and she has no idea how one pirates on dry land, even if that land is inside a lake. But physical's the only thing she knows, so it's a guard's life for Nyel.

Nyel is on the same guard shift as Theoden and Theodred. She's friendly, loud, and not afraid of a challenge. She's got amazing balance and has a habit of scaling anything that gets between her and her quarry, being skilled at parkour.

Adunaphel

7. Adunaphel, The Quiet Adunaphel / the Quiet / the Avenger

Rank: 7th in ranking of the Nazguls

Story: Adunaphel, a fair Numenorean princess from Forostar was the only female to become a Nazgul. Dissapointed that her younger brother should become heir to the throne, she left in anger and was grasped by hatred. Exact time and place for her meeting with the Dark Lord is unknown, but she was decieved by Sauron himself, not by an underling. Many signs point to the Second Age, around 2150. After the great plague ravaged Eriador in the mid Third-age, Gondor's watch on Mordor became less vigilant and Sauron sent Adunaphel to the black land to prepare for his eventual return. Adunaphel dwelt secretly in Nurn until the arrival of the Witch-king; whose coming heralded the Nazguls' assault on the tower of Minas Ithil. Its fall signified the end of Gondor's hold on the dark land. After Sauron's return to Barad-dur, Adunaphel was commanded to make fast the ancient stronghold of Dol guldur on the elves of Mirkwood, and later after the outbreak of the War of the Ring was involved with the other Nazgul in attempting to recapture the One Ring. She was unbound when the One ring was destroyed at Mount Doom by Frodo Baggins and/or Gollum.


Canon description of the ringwraiths

Those who used the Nine Rings became mighty in their day, kings, sorcerers, and warriors of old. They obtained glory and great wealth, yet it turned to their undoing. They had, as it seemed, unending life, yet life became unendurable to them. They could walk, if they would, unseen by all eyes in this world beneath the sun, and they could see things in worlds invisible to mortal men; but too often they beheld only the phantoms and delusions of Sauron. And one by one, sooner or later, according to their native strength and to the good or evil of their wills in the beginning, they fell under the thralldom of the ring that they bore and of the domination of the One which was Sauron's. And they became forever invisible save to him that wore the Ruling Ring, and they entered into the realm of shadows. The Nazgûl were they, the Ringwraiths, the Úlairi, the Enemy's most terrible servants; darkness went with them, and they cried with the voices of death. — The Silmarillion, "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age", 346

Bio: As you can see, Adunaphel's a ringwraith. Except this Adunaphel has just made her deal with Sauron before being ripped back in time before sealing the deal - ie becoming a living ghost, in thrall to Sauron. In fact, the One Ring hasn't even been crafted yet. So while her magic ring has some tricks to it, it hasn't got near the power it would have if it were to draw on Sauron's power.

She's kept the ring to herself so far, but has a position on Turgon's governing council.

High chance of being upgraded to a full character.
