For anyone familiar with the Thornswild elves, Nineve's features and trappings will make it plain who her people are.  The longbow and sword she bears are no surprise then, and neither her usually patient, soft-spoken manner.  The subtle and dry sense of humor at times in evidence is more specific to her.

A particular symbol--an intricate knotting of vines, studded with thorns and roses--recurs throughout her belongings, and not infrequently hangs about her neck. She often goes cloaked, with her hair kept in a practical ponytail or a more formal seeming braid.
