The âSixâ â Elarion, Lioras, SĂ«larion, FĂ«larion, Lylerithion, and GĂ«larion â are the children of Legolas Greenleaf and Ărrons Velethryion. They are no ordinary elven boys: they were born as a blessing of Eru, carrying both light and strength. Yet above all, they are still children: loud, mischievous, chasing each other through the halls of the palace, but every night they fall asleep cuddled in the arms of their parents. The Six of Greenleaf Velethryion
đŠ Elarion â the Hotheaded LeaderThe eldest and most fiery. Loves to command, often quarrels with his brothers, but deep down he is the most devoted. ( age: 4 , short brown hair and brown eyes)
đŠ Lioras â the Gentle PrinceBlond-haired, blue-eyed, the true reflection of Legolas. Calm, kind, loves to hug, always seeking peace. ( age: 4, long golden-blonde hair asd his’s mama , Legolas blue eyes)
đș SĂ«larion â the Little Thranduil Stern and dignified, resembling his grandfather. Appears wiser than his years, his serious gaze sees through everything. (Age:4 , short brown-silver hair, gray eyes)
đ» FĂ«larion â the Mischief-MakerDark-haired, (Little Ărr ) brown-eyed, always up to some prank. Ărr is proud of him, for he sees in him his own youthful wildness. (Age:3,5 , balck shirt hair , blue eyes)
đŠ Lylerithion â the Sweet OneThe most tender and sensitive, always sleeps with his plush Bubuszarv. Often the one who restores peace among the brothers. (Age: 3- 3,5 , silver-blonde short hair , brwon eyes)
đ GĂ«larion â the Wise Red
The youngest, red-haired, with a solemn gaze. Quiet, but his words are always weighty and wise. (age 3 , red short hair green brown eyes)
Symbolic significance: The Six are Eruâs gift, the legacy of the Velethryion family. In them lives the hope of the past, the present, and the future.
Though Legolas was an elven male, the mark of Eru placed a sacred gift upon him: each month the holy seal of light appeared within him, granting him the power to bear life. Ărr, as MithpĂ€lion, carried within himself the flame of creation, and thus his seed gave not only flesh but light as well.
The birth of the Six was therefore not only a moment of family joy but an act of divine wonder: a sign that even amid the struggle of Light and Shadow, Eru allowed new hope to be born in the world of Arda.
đ The Six â Their Personalities đŹđ§
Elarion â the little devil incarnate. Mischievous, stubborn, and headstrong, prone to tantrums yet fiercely protective. Bold and outspoken, he takes after his father Ărr in both spirit and temper. Though deeply attached to his mother, he constantly imitates his father â often repeating Ărrâs words when he overhears arguments or serious talks with Legolas, even if he does not understand them. As the eldest, he naturally steps forward as leader among the siblings.
Lioras â the mirror of Legolas. He cherishes cleanliness, disliking dirty clothes or messy toys, though he still plays eagerly. He is the most agile, gifted in leaping, bending, and graceful movement. Sensitive at heart, he often sleeps long, sometimes beside his father until late in the morning.
SĂ«larion â the wisest. He already knows letters, can read the elven script, and even count. He often draws or carefully copies his fatherâs sketches and maps. He is the quietest of the six, rarely speaking and preferring to point or gesture. Yet in his silence lies a deep thoughtfulness and gravity.
FĂ«larion â a miniature Ărr. He bears dark, almost black hair from his father, yet inherited Legolasâs blue eyes. Fascinated by Legolasâs belongings, he delights when his mother kisses his tummy after changing him. He loves building with wooden blocks and often plays side by side with SĂ«larion, forming a close pair.
Lylerithion â with silver-blonde, shorter hair, he is quiet but not the most silent. Precise, affectionate, and fond of sitting in Ărrâs lap, he gets along with everyone. At times, however, he throws little fits if things are not as he desires. He adores flowers and sweets â but only those baked by his mother.
GĂ«larion â the youngest, with fiery red hair, a true „mini-Maedhros.” Strongly attached to his father, he sees himself as the second leader after Elarion. He loves tales of battles and glory, imagining himself and his elder brother as valiant warriors (though they are but brave little babes). He clings to Ărr with fierce love, yet quickly grows upset if Legolas does not give him enough attention.
đ Their Roles Among Each Other đŹđ§
Among the siblings there reigns a curious order, not ruled by law but guided by love and instinct. Each holds a place, as the stars do in the heavens.
Elarion â the leader, ever at the front. He is the blazing fire, whose stubborn will and bold words guide the others, and who defends them like a young warrior.
GĂ«larion â the second leader. Though the youngest, he steps forth with dignity to follow his elder brother. Side by side, he and Elarion form the very heart of the Six.
Lioras â the light, the gentle core. He soothes quarrels, bringing peace to the others with touch and smile alike.
SĂ«larion â the wisdom. His words are rare, but carry great weight. Through his silence, drawings, and knowledge, he shows the way.
FĂ«larion â the strength. Even in his small frame the wild, ancient traits of Ărr are felt. In play he builds and battles, turning every block into a tower or fortress.
Lylerithion â the heart. He clings to mother and father, ever seeking and giving affection. His quiet presence softens the fervor of the others, bringing calm like the blue sky.
Together the Six are like six jewels set upon a crown: each shines in its own hue, yet they form a single light.
đż Their Bond with Their Parents đŹđ§
The life of the Six is not only a bond of siblings but a living echo of the love woven between Legolas and Ărr.
With Legolas, they are all especially close. They call him âMother,â and whenever sadness or fear arises, he is the first they run to. They drink from his csicsi, which is not merely nourishment but a source of safety and love. Often they curl against his chest, as though finding a shield there against all the sorrows of the world.
With Ărr, the bond is different: he is âDaddy,â the embodiment of strength and protection. They love to climb into his lap when frightened, or when listening to tales of ancient battles. In his arms they feel most secure, as though the whole world itself was holding them.
Each child clings in their own way:
Elarion imitates his father, even without understanding his words.
Lioras often sleeps beside his mother for long hours.
SĂ«larion carefully copies Legolasâs drawings, learning through him.
Fëlarion delights when Legolas playfully kisses his tummy.
Lylerithion loves to sit in Ărrâs lap and almost never lets go.
GĂ«larion embraces Ărr fiercely, and grows upset when Legolasâs attention is not on him.
Thus the Six carry both sides of their parentsâ light: the tender love of Legolas and the unyielding strength of Ărr.
đż Their Bond with Mother đŹđ§
All six boys are hopelessly attached to their mother. There is no moment when Legolas can be alone: wherever he goes, the children follow.
Whether he dresses, bathes, or even in the most private of moments, one of them is likely at his feet, another clinging to his arm, or simply sitting close by.
To them, Legolas is not only a parent but the very source of safety. As shown in Chapter 30, their rule is simple: âIf Mother goes, then our place is with him.â In their eyes, Legolas is the light they cannot exist without, and so they follow his every step, eager to share every moment with him
đ Their Bond with Grandfather đŹđ§
For the Six, Thranduil is not merely a king, but Grandfather, a figure both revered and teased.
They call him in many ways: âGrandfather,â âGrandpa,â or playfully, âOld Kitty.â
Elarion often teases him, even argues at times, but deep down adores him and sees him as a secret role model.
Lioras is polite and refined, always neat in his presence, as if he knows Thranduil values dignity.
Sëlarion is almost his mirror: quiet, observant, solemn. He often sits by the throne, as though learning the royal bearing.
FĂ«larion approaches through mischief: stealing small items in the halls or playing pranks on the servantsâyet Thranduil often hides a smile.
Lylerithion is cuddly and gentle: he often sits in Thranduilâs lap and brings him flowers from the garden.
Gëlarion respects and admires him, looking up to him like a commander. Sometimes he even imitates Grandfather with a toy sword in hand.
Though Thranduil seems stern, he turns to his grandsons with a tender heart: each touches him differently, and through them he relives what he once lost in Legolasâs own childhood
đČ Shared Adventures and Mischief đŹđ§
The daily life of the Six is never without play and adventure. Though they grow up within the palace walls, in their hearts burns the wild freedom of Mirkwood.
They often play hide-and-seek in the throne room, sometimes even making Thranduilâs crown âdisappear,â sending the servants into fits of laughter.
In the forest, they gather wildflowers, race to see who can climb higher up a tree, or leap across the stream.
With wooden swords they battle, Elarion and Gëlarion leading as commanders, while the others follow as soldiers. These little wars always end in laughter.
In the palace, they sometimes play treasure-hunt, secretly opening old chests and cupboards, much to the servantsâ dismay.
In the evenings they listen to Legolasâs tales or Ărrâs stories of ancient battles. Then all six children curl up on Legolasâs chest or in Ărrâs lap.
Though they are often troublemakers, their smiles and love redeem every mischief. Both palace and forest often echo with their laughter.
âš Their Symbolic Meaning đŹđ§
The Six are not only the source of family joy and daily delight, but also a symbol in the history of Arda. They are Eruâs gifts, the new dawn born from the struggle between Light and Shadow.
After their birth, many spoke of them as âthe Six Starsâ, for each shines with a different hue, yet together they form a single crown of light.
Elarion, the burning flame,
Lioras, the light of dawn,
Sëlarion, the wise moon,
FĂ«larion, the spark within the forestâs shadows,
Lylerithion, the blue of the clear sky,
GĂ«larion, the warriorâs red sunset.
They bear the legacy of their parents, yet surpass it: within them lies the hope of the future, a hope that may one day shape the very fate of Arda.
đ Legend đŹđ§
Some say it is no coincidence that all Six were born as sons. The ancients believed that it was Eru IlĂșvatarâs will, for within them lies the destiny of leadership. They shall be the ones who, when the time comes, will guide the new paths of Aman and bring light among the peoples.
Thus the Six Stars are not only a familyâs heritage, but Eruâs hidden design: six sons, six leaders, who may one day play their part in the fate of both Arda and Aman.
