Menolly is the same slender beauty that is perfectly typical of all Inaara women. While she is definitely female she does not possess the curves that a human woman would enjoy and perhaps even savour, possessing the elegant beauty of a true supermodel.

As is the current fashion Menolly maintains long hair as a matter of course, though as with all those who need to have free movement she also dresses it with a degree of care as well. Menolly had no liking for a misstep at a critical moment and she is hardly likely to enjoy it happening in any case. Menolly enjoys braiding and while it would be easier to handle if she had help it is the one thing she does herself, only on formal occasions does she actually bother with letting it fall down loose, at which point it can pool around her ankles like a shining wave of warm and brilliantly tinted gold.

One of her best features aside from her eyes is that hair, unlike the tawdry shades of humans, the gold strands in her hair makes it come to life like a halo which surrounds, one which matches perfectly the near-golden quality of her skin it is not truly sun-kissed but it is close to that particular shade.

While Inaara are never likely to be anything less than complicated when it comes to how they deal with the rest of the world, Menolly sometimes tends to come across as just confusing not to mention unexpected in some of her statements even moreso than is average for her people. Menolly has embraced a lot of the human culture and while it assists her in dealing with them it tends to make her just seem odd to the rest of her people when she uses their slang and often leaves them shaking their heads in confusion.

As with the majority of her people she enjoys and cherishes the riddle games and puzzles that are presented too herself and she actively challenges her mind in not only solving them but also in creating her own. Menolly likes to do the same with her body and that synergy allows her to harass the full capabilities of both when she needs to.

She is able to focus onto a single task to the exclusion of everything else but at the same time she is also able to handle many different things all at once as well. Basically Menolly, reacts to her surroundings and what is needed in order to make sure she achieves her goals and as long as you are helping her achieve those goals then she will view you as a friend. As soon as that changes...well then you had best be ready for her to use all her intelligence and wiles to make sure you do not become a threat.

While she is not incapable of making friends she is cautious and careful in the people she chooses as close allies and companions and no one has yet managed to slip past her guard and become a real trusted confidante. The same applies to her lovers, she might well bed you but don’t expect anything like roses and sweet love poems from her.

The first born and then only child of Aedan and his wife Orlaith, she has always been cherished as the gift from the Divine that she was which helped to instil some the arrogance and confidence of her demeanor from the word go.

Hardly surprising or unusual save that she was not always the only child of her parents. Menolly was born with a twin sister that matched her looks perfectly and only added to the pride her parents felt at being so doubly blessed in their children. It all could have been very different but it was a time of betrayal for her family; Menolly has no idea if the act irseful was ultimately brought on by jealously or simple opportunity to wound a competitor in any case the end result saw the death of her mother and twin sister and her father left alone with only his own mothers support to raise her to adulthood.

It is certainly likely that her sister’s death was an accident but in no way lessens Menolly’s wish to see them brought to justice – not that the chance has arisen in all her life, though she remains watchful. Her father dealt with the assailants but he knew as well as any other they were merely the tools used by another.

The years following this were within the timeless protection of her grandmother and all the gentle and enduring magic that she possessed. Menolly grew with what other few children were born at the same time and learned her lessons of magic, battle and politics without becoming close to anyone of them, Menolly might have allowed her sister in closer but while she lacks a complete memory of her twin she nonetheless is aware of a missing part of her own being. It is perhaps one of the reasons her personality developed into one which can at times which is a distrusting one especially when dealing with other people.
