Hi my name is Miranda, and I am a Kender!  

I grew up in a family with many siblings.  We were always moving
around,
looking for friendship and new experiences in life.  We got by,
by trading
with those we met along the way.  I had a wonderful childhood!  

One day, I saw something shiny in the distance!  I yelled to my
family
members, but they were busy negotiating a trade with someone they
had met so
I decided to investigate the object myself, as it didn't look far
away.  I
started running to the top of the hill only to realize that the
shiny was on
top of the NEXT hill.  I can do that and make it back before
anybody misses
me, I thought, so I ran down the slop as fast as I could,
screaming happily
as I imagined how happy my family would be with my new discovery!
 The run
up the next hill was a bit more troublesome but I made it... 
Only to
discover that I was still one hill away.  

Not one to be put off, I followed that shiny object all the way
to
Palanthas!  I could still see that shiny object just over the
next hill, but
something better and much more shiny caught my eye, Alumynie!  He
is just
the bestest kender I have ever met!  I soon decided that I didn't
want that
shiny thing in the sky as much as I wanted to stay with him.  

So, I have settled here for awhile and am excited about my new
family and
friends.

Miranda was
fetching water from the stream when she noticed the kender
with
the wild topknot.  He was chasing a lizard with a
bunch of other boy
kender and giggled louder than any of the
others when they finally caught
it!  "Silly boys!" , She thought
to herself with a smile as she headed back
to the camp.  All of a
sudden he was beside her, trying to show her the
lizard.  "Here,
hold this so I can see better", she grinned as she handed
him her
buckets.  She marvelled that lizard all the way back to the
camp,
reminding him often not to slosh the buckets.  

The two
were together constantly, after that.  He taught her how to fish
and
camp, how to build a campfire perfectly.  She taught him how
to braid his
topknot and how to cook (little did she know he
already knew how!)  .  They
became the bestest of friends!  

One
day, as the two were exploring a forest it began to rain.  At
first it
was just a drizzle but soon it began to pour hard!  Brim
took her by the
hand and ran to a cozy cave with an old campfire
in the middle.  Brim began
to rebuild the fire in the pit as
Miranda sorted their pouches (making sure
their treasures were
safe and dry).  Glancing up, Miranda saw Brim carefully
pick up a
large ugly bug, that had been made it's home in the old wood,
and
set him safely outside the cave under a large leaf.  

The
look in Brim's eye and the expression on his face, as he took
care of
the bug, melted Miranda's heart.  She knew right then
that she loved this
kender madly and would do anything for him. 


Soon they were in the chapel.  He asked.  She said yes.  They
were married! 

They traveled the lands together, exploring and
getting into mischief, as
kender always do.  Content in knowing
that the other was always close by. 
Their love deepening with
each passing season.  They never thought much
about the future,
but they knew that it was shiny!  

Time went on and soon the two
were four.  The look in Brim's eyes as he held
his sons, Brimmer
and Tousletop, for the first time reminded Miranda why she
fell
so deeply in love with him.  

The days are now rather hectic
trying to keep up with the boys (all three of
them!)  .  Miranda
spends a great deal of time getting them out of trouble
(often
gotten into with Dad!)  .  Brim is busy teaching them how to
build
fires, how to fish, and how to camp.  Miranda tries to keep
their attention
long enough to teach them how to cook and how to
braid Brim's topknot
(haha).
