Kalaera is by all means the model example of a dwarf; master
of multiple weapons and their many styles, can proudly hold her own in any
smithy, and she might have even trained a prince or two when she stops by the
Blue Mountains. She’s just missing the beard that any proud dwarf would have.
Thorin has never met the mysterious woman who stops by occasionally
to train his nephews. He knows that she has taught Kili how to handle a bow and
that Fili can now wield two blades. The way the two boys and the rest of his
company talk, she is a wonder to behold.
Kalaera, however, has a secret, or maybe quite a few. Blood
of an exiled dwarf and an elven princess, and the daughter-in-law to one King
of Mirkwood. She finds comfort in the company of dwarfs, hiding her pointed
ears behind braids is easy enough, she never tells anyone her true name. Little
secrets that can be hidden easily, she has a little bit of everything, maybe
even the blood of a dragon.
