Falinwe is a green pact survivor and later outcast from valenwood under unknown circumstances but likely due to her tendency to tinker. She builds ingenious primitive gadgets and trinkets and has a fascination with gears, locks, clocks, keys, gates, doors, thresholds, and liminal space. She is a master thief but prefers to only steal what has been stolen already. She is lawful-neutral and sometimes good. She has trauma from the green pact and it's dire dissonance with common life beyond the neo traditional forest tribes of bosmer in valenwood, worshiping Y'ffre and devotion to the green. She is curious, timid, but insisting and impatient when intrigued. She sometimes hungers for the flesh of man and mer but keeps this under control. Namira takes interest in her later on- urging her desires. She has travelled to Rihad to study the grand Rihad vaults mechanical locks and found a niche and formed a reputation being able to open anything with time.
