The second painting of my characters. This is Erinwe of the Rhiannon, a Knight of the Realm. Work done by June Jennsen.
inwe: She has the red hair and green eyes of her mother the queen, who died in childbirth (she shares the loss of her mother with Rand). Erinwe is bright eyed, jovial, an unfailing optimist, quick to laugh, and breathtakingly beautiful. She’s about 5′ 7″, and 120 lbs. She was always a tomboy, more interested in becoming a knight than a stateswoman. Luckily, men and women in the Realm are equally capable fighters and welcomed into knighthood, as long as they can pass the clannad, the test of knighthood. She’s a practical joker, and more than makes up for her lacking the strength of larger men with her wicked mastery of sword and bow. She remembers Rand from their meeting years earlier, and she grows fond of him watching him confront his demons and because of his bravery agains tremendous odds. Of course, she falls for him. Erinwe is a Knight of the Realm, and she carries a Nyakil along with a long bow, and she wears the bright, purple tinged armor denoting her rank as a knight. The armor is not adorned with fancy scrollwork, but is beautiful in it’s simplicity.
