Celeborn
They call him the Silver Tree.
Everybody assumes it is because of his height and his graceful movements; sort of tree-like.
She loves him for it, that he knows. She says he reminds her of Telperion, and that Silver Light shines out of him.
He cannot tell, obviously, nor would he ever have attributed something so sacred to his humble self, for he does not perceive himself to be anything special.
Smiling, he recalls his childhood and his mother naming him thusly, for he would forever be high up in one tree or other, and refuse to come down.
