When your adult child of mixed Dwarven-Elvish ancestry learns about your numerous questionable decisions during the Elvish equivalent of your teenage years, before you became a Dignified War Hero and DeFacto Elvish Expert on Dwarvish Matters, what else can you do but just sit there and take the lecture on the chin lol
Backstory and photo details below the cut.
On the left is Néalmhar, eldest of the 3 sisters/siblings and is considered the most serious one generally. Practical & direct to a fault, she isn't one to let resentment fester or injustices go unanswered. Unyielding to her own personal rules, she has a strong sense of self assuredness that often has her clashing with others or dragging them in line with her.
She is wearing a brat, fringed cloak/cape, and a leine, dyed bright yellow undertunic with long sleeves, which would be attributed to Silvan Elves in this AU. Due to the nature of her powers/blessing, she does not typically wear metal jewelry as a precaution and her personal preference is for quality over appearance for her gear. It gives her a very wild appearance to noble Dwarves which may look down on her or mistake her for an Exile.
Legolas (on the right; who uses the alias Geamhar for most of this AU) and his whimsical nature balance her out a bit when they are separated from Ceolmhar & Bríomhar. While he is typically far from serious in demeanor, Legolas earnestly passed on as many of his skills and knowledge as possible to Néalmhar for her future. She isn't particularly skilled with a bow and many of the standard techniques/drills didn't work as well with her physical stature being closer to a Dwarf. Most of her training eventually became self-directed with occasional mentorships while Geamhar spends more time getting the settlements and fields up and running before his eventual demise protecting his children from the drgon Bríomhar awakens.
The more complicated memories that Legolas may not have shared with the other sisters do get shared with Néalmhar as over time there were no secrets between them. It means that Ceolmhar and Bríomhar have a more distant relationship with their dad compared to her.
