Biography:

One of the Circle of Nine she was their Remembrance. When the Palace crashed on the World of Two Moons, Timmain's close friend Adya was the first who was killed. Overtaken by grief, Timmain sought a way to express it and found it in the howling of the wolves, in which she joined them. Although this world drained her powers as well, she retained the ability to shape herself. Timmain used her self-shaping abilities to find out more about the world and to understand it better. She changed herself into trees, birds, and any other animal she came across in her attempt to find where elves could fit in to the cycle of life. Among the many forms she took, she changed herself into a wolf and learned how to hunt. It was Timmain who was the main provider for the small group of First Comers, and they soon realized that she knew more about this world than they and chose her to be their leader. In time, their small group learned to survive this strange new world with all its unfamiliar challenges. Though they did not understand what Recognition was, as it had not happened in eons, she and Aerth were the first to feel its power and they gave in to its call leading to the birth of Rellah. While the act affected Aerth, causing him to fall deeply in love with Timmain, she did not return the sentiments. As the years pressed on, the winters grew colder, harsher, and longer, causing Timmain to have to spend more and more time in the form of a wolf.

As time pressed on like this, she began losing her elven mind, becoming wholly in the Now and seeing the other elves as unusual strangers. She would show up at times with a kill for her people, then immediately run off once more. The other elves were worried, especially Aerth who tried following her more than once. When his sendings stopped reaching her, however, even he had to admit that they couldn't prevent it and eventually she didn't return at all. Unsure if she was alive or dead, the elves she had once called her people were forced to give up on her and seek shelter from the encroaching ice age by going farther from their home into the woods of the south. However she saw them one last time when, centuries later, in a flash of elven recollection she turned up at the elves' camp, bringing them her young son: half elf, half wolf, before disappearing once more into the snow.

Thousands of years passed without any contact between her and other elves, in which she all but forgot that she had been something other than wolf once. Assumed dead by her descendants, she ran the frozen mountains with other wolves in an unending youth that only she possessed. This all changed when fate stepped in and had her captured by the Mountain Trolls to be part of a trap. It was Cutter who fell in the trap, and Petalwing who came down after him, and the sight of those familiar shapes sparked recognition within her ancient mind, causing the elven magic to slowly begin to stir. She fought alongside her descendants in the elf-troll war over the Palace without anyone the wiser about her true form. It wasn't until she re-entered her old home that her magic began returning, and with the gentle prodding of Suntop's young mind, enough of her elven self returned that she was able to harness her sleeping magic and shape herself back into the form of a High One.

Timmain spent only a little time in her elfin form. She seemed distant and not entirely there, talking to the spirits of her friends more than to the living elves in front of her, but upon Cutter's question why they were here, she took them to the Scroll Room, where she let herself be put into wrapstuff to turn the Scroll of Colours, meanwhile talking through Suntop and telling the elves their history. Timmain spent the next three years in wrapstuff, communicating mainly with Rayek, but when he returned from Blue Mountain and destroyed the Go-Back lodge she changed back into a wolf and tore herself a way out, unable to cope with elf attacking elf. Reunited in this form with her descendants, the Wolfriders, she chose to stay with them as a member of the wolf pack. In this way, she has retained her elven mind as the Wolfriders and at times even their wolves would send with her.

When Cutter, torn from losing those dearest to him, lost his wolffriend, Warfrost, he turned to Timmain and begged of her to bond with him as he couldn't take any further loss. Indeed, he proved unable to find another wolffriend until he had healed from his depression by taking it out on Rayek. At that point, she became Skywise's wolffriend instead, as he would no longer bond with a wolf seeing as he had given up his wolf blood. She, along with Skywise, followed Ember away from the war against the humans, but when Aroree came to tell them that a living High One was needed to rebuild the Palace, the two of them immediately went to Grohmul Djun's Citadel. There Timmain had a confrontation with Winnowill and changed herself into a half elf, half wolf form. Winnowill knew that she didn't stand a chance against Timmain while alive, so she convinced the Djun to kill her, which he did. Before she could do anything, however, Rayek drew her spirit into himself, both to protect her and to protect all other elves. Timmain then rebuilt the Palace and became its new Master, where she spent her time training any elf who wished to learn how to control the Palace. The list of her pupils included the Sun Folk--who had come to live within its halls alongside her--Skywise, and Sunstream. Further beyond that, Kimo came to her in order to learn to control the power he felt stirring inside himself, with him becoming the first self-shaper besides herself in generations.
