Summary:

Elves go bonkers over children. Children are precious, gentle beings that are so rare it's a miracle that one is born. Elves think children need to be coddled and protected. So how would they react if they found an elven child who was fiercely independent, borderline savage, and only liked one person in the whole settlement who was just as standoffish and distant from everyone like she is?
Or: I can't promise you much, but I can promise you an unconventional LOTR OC that is a) not a Tenth Walker, b) not in love with Legolas, and c) says the word 'fuck' with regularity.
