A Peek in Talia's Closet

Formal Uniform

Having left behind her normal guard attire, Talia is dressed more meticulously and formally at present. Her hair has been let down and the ends brush the middle of her back; a little bit is pulled back over her ears with a silver clasp to keep it out of her steely blue eyes -- rivalled only in brilliance by the elfstones on her forehead. Beneath a silvery tunic and cloak she wears black leggings and a black long-sleeved blouse. Knee high black boots are polished to a high shine, and a matching belt is around her waist. Hung from the belt on one side is a scabbard and sword. The scabbard is made of smooth black leather with silver trim up both sides. In the middle is the ornately crafted symbol of Daernoss Dinlom: a silver crescent moon surrounded by a crystal starburst. The sword within signifies her rank in the Order of Lorien. On the opposite side of the belt hangs a finely carved dagger; it would be useless in combat and is meant for ornamental purposes only, signifying her as a head of her House. The only other decoration she wears is a ring of gold on her left hand.

Gown

Today Talia has left behind her uniform and weapons for a long flowing satin gown, today Talia has unbraided her hair to let it fall in long golden waves to her waist, today she wears a wreath of flowers instead of a helmet, and today her face is radiant and joyous with celebration. Her deep blue eyes have put away their stern commanding gleam and have adopted a quick and curious light--taking in everything and committing it to memory. The light cascades over her body, swathed in a soft blue to match her eyes, over her bare arms and down the fitted bodice to a braided rope of gold from which hangs the Househead Dagger of Dinlom. The lower part of the dress flows and whispers with each quick step, often revealing the elleth's bare feet. And often reflecting a glimmer of light or recieving a fond touch is the gold band on her right hand. A silver bracelet around her wrist and a silver chain bearing the symbol of Daernoss Dinlom around her neck complete the guard's unusually elegant look.

Casual Ensemble

Beautiful by descent; noble by necessity, this elleth is dressed in garb fitting to her surroundings and ancient way of life. A loose-fitting, long-sleeved cotton shirt of natural color covers her upper body, her hands often concealed by the sleeve cuffs, though something on her left hand manages to catch the light. A braided rope belt defines her slender waist and supports an ornamental dagger; loose brown trousers are tucked into her boots at mid-calf. Her blue eyes are bright and her face is framed by the loose tresses of her long golden hair, tucked neatly behind her ears. A row of small stones is suspended across her forehead, commanding the light across her proud features.
