History:
Uinen, originally a being of the Undying Lands was a Maiar who belonged with Ulmo; an Ainu, second greatest of the lords of Valar and one of the Aratar. He was a being with an affinity for water, his name meaning "Rain bringer or Pourer". Uinen was among the few of the Maiar who were female. In the Undying Lands she was known as "The Lady of the Stars". When Manwë summoned the council of the Valar to send three messengers to middle earth she begged Ulmo to let her go but he refused. He wanted no part of the mission and so Curumo, Morinehtr and Olorin were sent.
Never one to be able to accept being told "No" Uinen defied Ulmo and secreted away to middle earth on her own, close on the heels of the other three. However once she came to middle earth she found no trace of the other three. She considered searching them out but the thought that she might run into Curumo first made her quickly forgo that plan. She also knew if she came before Morinehtr and Olorin she'd be in grave trouble because she was not supposed to be there. So she shrouded herself in secrecy and moved across the world on her own. Over the course of time she heard of the great wizard Saruman the white and knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was Curumo. Never having trusted nor liked Curumo she stayed far from the shadow cast by Isengard. Through her travels she also heard of another wizard named Gandalf the gray, she had contemplated revealing herself to him but had always drifted back into the shadows of obscurity for reasons she never entirely understood herself. It wasn't the thought of getting into trouble for her actions that made her hesitate -at least not anymore- but she felt that keeping her presence on middle earth a secret was quite important for some reason.
However, despite knowing she needed to remain in hiding she could not help but visit Rivendell, home of the Elves. Curious about how the Elves of Middle-Earth lived she stayed for awhile, living amongst them. Unable to hide who and what she was from the Elves, she began to help teach the healers some of what she knew. The Elven people were quite exceptional with the healing arts. However, in any group there is always one person who stands out, someone whose abilities are far beyond what they
should be. In this case, it was an Elven girl named Maranwe Winterborne. She was a quick study and able to grasp things that even more experiences healers had trouble understanding. She taught Maran a few things that she had not taught to the regular classes. She felt that if any, Maran was the one who'd best understand some of the more complex healing magics that, En, knew about. En, stayed there for awhile both teaching and studying but after several years she said good-bye to Rivendell.
She continued to wander the lands as a drifter moving from settlement to settlement, staying away from larger, human populated areas. As the years wore on she began to sense a restlessness in the waters and in the stars. A dark premonition stole over her one night as she lay sleeping, a menacing darkness invaded her sleep and revealed a terrifying omen. Something truly evil was stirring in the background. With a feeling of trepidation she packed what little she had and fled as if Sauron himself had been chasing her. She hid herself far from any living creature but no matter how well hidden she was she could not shake the feeling that a malign presence was slowly gaining strength in the dark reaches of the world. To ease this fear she eventually left her isolation and ventured into the world once more. However, she was unable to find anything that could possibly explain the feeling that had haunted her for the last several years.
But still, the feeling did not abate...
And then without warning between one breath and the next, war broke out. Sauron had come back. She could not tell you when she joined the battle nor how it happened. One day she was travelling around Middle Earth and the next she was caught in a struggle that would consume all of Middle Earth. She helped where she was able and traveled where she was needed. In her travels she came close to Isengard and despite having previously avoided the area she now felt compelled to investigate it. And there she saw the reason she had always remained wary of Curumo; or as he was known now, Sarumon. He had joined with Sauron; had betrayed everything he had once belonged to. For the mighty white wizard, was nothing more than a deceitful snake.
Now, they not only had to contend with Saurons forces but Sarumons as well. Middle Earth was losing this War.
With her staff in hand she headed out to hinder the forces of Sauron and Saruman as best she could. In her travels to aid those who fought against them she heard rumors of lands far to the north that had been cursed by Sauron's right hand man as it were. She knew if she could help the beings of Forodwaith it could add another ally to the forces who fought against the evil might of Sauron and Saruman. She knew her magics would be of great help to the people who'd been plunged into a cursed never-ending winter.
