Hey Nonnie! Ahh, thank you so so much!
Ahhh, okay – bear in mind that this is how I see ‘em. Even though I came up with ‘em, others might see them differently, and that’s awesome 🙂
Wee Thorin Dwalinul
He is tall and stout-legged and blocky, as children go. His skin is dark, though not as dark as his mother’s, and he has a short shock of tufty hair in the centre of his hairline that is forever threatening to turn into a mohawk. (I love the idea of his hair being braided into rows at the sides of his head: as in lacefedora‘s awesome pic of him!) His beard and moustache have already started to grow in, and he has thick, expressive eyebrows. His eyes are large and a deep, warm brown (all the better to roll at Gimizh’s antics). He is very eager to get tattoos like both his parents, and draws on practice-tattoos in both red and blue ink whenever he can. He has very big hands… sliiiiiightly too big for his frame, like the paws of a puppy that will grow up to be a massive dog. Wee Thorin will not end up the tallest of his brothers – but he will end up absolutely enormous. Basically, he is going to be built like a fridge 🙂

Balinith Dwalinul
He is also quite stocky, with a round-cheeked little face. He has his hair in dreadlocks, which he likes the texture of, and are a great physical stimulus. Now and then he wears glasses, though on many days he doesn’t want to, because the feel of them on his face really irritates. His skin is nearly the same shade as his older brother’s, though it has a slightly reddish tinge in the right light (a very attractive sort of colour). His sideburns are filling a little, and he is just about as tall as Gimizh already (who is in despair, because he is four years older than Balin, it’s not fair!). Balinith will one day be the shortest of the three brothers – but he will be the strongest, even stronger than massive Thorin or gangly Frerin.

Frerinith Dwalinul
Frerin is darker-skinned than either of his brothers, and is the most recognisably non-Longbeard. His hair is tightly curled against his head, with little wayward cowlicks at crown and hairline. His eyes are thick-lashed and impossibly huge, and he has a wide and ready grin. He always seems to be missing a tooth. Frerinith is, at this stage, a chubby-cheeked youngster with short little legs and a round toddler-tummy. Eventually he will be the tallest of them all, though he won’t have the bullish build of Wee Thorin. Instead, he will be a bit of a lanky stringbean, as Dwarves go!
