"The Blue Wizards: Underrated Heroes of The Middle Earth" series: art 1: The Path. Alatar Morinehtar (ahead) and Pallando Romestamo. It's said Gandalf looked older than other Istari, so I never imagined them totally grayhaired and all... Hope you like my interpretation. <3

Rings of Power Theory: Bronwyn is one of the Blue Wizards
According to Tolkien, the two blue wizards traveled East and South as emissaries into "enemy-occupied lands" to aid Men who rebelled against Melkor-worship.
Bronwyn lives in the Southlands among the descendants of Melkor worshipers and rallies them to fight Adar, who they think is Sauron.
Oh, and what color is she always seen wearing despite nobody else in her village wearing it?

Maiar of Oromë, The Huntsman of the Valar
Oromë was the husband of Vana and the brother of Nessa, and was known as The Lord of Forests, The Huntsman of the Valar, and The Great Rider. He was known for his love of hunting and when the Valar retreated from Middle-earth to Aman following the destruction of the two lamps, he would occasionally return to hunt the creatures of Melkor. It was during one of these hunts that he discovered the first elves wandering in the starlight, and he named them the Eldar, The People of the Stars. After dwelling with them for a while he returned to Aman to inform the rest of the Valar that the first Children of Illuvatar had awakened, and were already being plagued by Melkor’s creatures. It was eventually decided to invite the Eldar to join the Valar in Aman, setting in motion the beginning of the major events that lead to The Silmarilion.
Oromë loved horses and hounds and rode on a great horse named Nahar. It was for this reason that he was known of and loved by the people of Rohan, who claimed that their great horses known as the Mearas were descended from steeds Oromë brought from the West. It was also believed that the wild oxen the lived near the sea of Rhun were descended from Oromë’s oxen as well. Huan, The Hound of the Valar, was one of Oromë’s hunting dogs who had been granted special powers by the Valar.
Oromë was one of the Aratar and had a great horn called the Valaroma that he blew, which sounded like thunder and frightened even Melkor himself. It was for this reason that the people of Rohan named him Bema, a name that comes from a rootword for trumpet.
Pallando was a Maia of Oromë, a member of the Istari, and one of the Blue Wizards along with his friend Alatar. In Tolkien’s early drafts, he associated Pallando with Mandos and Nienna, but eventually changed this to make Pallando a Maia of Oromë, the Vala who had traveled and hunted with his retinue throughout Arda prior to the Awakening of the Elves. Because of this, Oromë had the most knowledge of the lands of Arda, including those to the east of the lands where The Lord of the Rings takes place.
Alatar was a Maia of Oromë and one of the two Ithryn Luin (Blue Wizards) along with Pallando. Alatar was the second Maia after Curumo/Curunir (Saruman) chosen to be one of the Istari and he chose to bring his friend Pallando, also a Maia of Orome, along with him. When they arrived in Middle-earth, they were sent into the east, beyond the borders of the maps that appear in Lord of the Rings, to combat the power of Sauron. It is generally believed that they were chosen because of their association with Orome, who would travel throughout Arda to hunt and was familiar with the even farthest places.
Tolkien’s perception of how successful Alatar and Pallando were changed throughout his stages of writing. In earlier drafts he envisioned them as failing, somewhat like Saruman, and instead either intentionally or unintentionally founding secret/magic cults. But later he changed this so that they were instead successful in leading some of the peoples in the east who didn’t worship Sauron to rise up against him. This is depicted as forcing Sauron to divert some of his attention and resources into the east, which helped make sure that the good peoples of the west weren’t overwhelmed by his forces. In these later drafts Tolkien gave the Blue Wizards new names, Morinhetar (Darkness Slayer) and Romestamo (East-Helper), though he doesn’t specify which name goes with which wizard.
Another Maia of Oromë was Tilion, the steersman of the moon. He often laid in the shade of the tree Telperion, and was strongly associated with the color silver. He was in love with Arien, though it isn't clear if that love was reciprocated. His love for her is used to explain why the moon is sometimes in the sky at the same time as the sun, and the moon's darks spots were said to come from when Tilion got too close to Arien's heat. When he left Arda to guide the moon in the sky, he forsook his humanoid/elvish "body" and took the form of a brilliant flash of light. Melkor sent many dark creatures and spirits into the sky to attack Tilion when he first appeared, but he managed to vanquish all of them. Tilion doesn't appear in Tolkien's early works; Ilinsor, a sylph (air spirit) who loved snow and starlight and assisted Varda, becomes the steersman of the Moon, while Irmo-Lorien's youthful servant Silmo was in charge of watering the tree Silpion/Telperion. At one stage of Tolkien’s writings, he invisioned animal characters such as the Eagles and Huan as being Maiar who took animal bodies instead of humanoid/elvish ones. This concept was eventually changed, but if it had been kept then Huan the Hound of the Valar would probably have been associated with Oromë as well.

Pallando. Полнейший хэдканон, не могу объяснить, почему он рыжий и совсем не в синем 🤔 Наверное, просто снял свой синий плащ 😎 Вот я его в уголке пририсовала 😋

@oenothera5 replied to your post “Making Waves”
I like the idea of him choosing forms- “what should I wear today? I know! Webbed feet.” :-)
Well, in my head, the maiar are less-fluid in shapes than the Valar and the Ainur(you’ll see the valar change size wiht a thought, for example), but they are only locked into a shape if they choose it for a purpose(like wizards, or Melian) and that shape is born of their spirits and could be anything, really. (One of my favourite artists gave Melian deer antlers, for example, which I 100% support). The point is, they’re not like the Children, their basic shape wasn’t chosen for them, like it was for Men/Elves(by Eru) or Dwarrow(by Aulë).
Sometimes, they get it wrong, of course, for example my Blue Wizard Romestamo from Stars are Strange has “Eyes of Truth” because she heard an elf say “Look into my eyes and see the truth” so she gave herself eyes that would reflect the truth of someone looking into them. Which is both awesome and slightly daft, but I loved the idea too much once it popped into my head to ignore it.

It is once said "Without the dark, we'd never see the stars." People of the West spent their lives fighting the darkness of Evil, missing the fact that not all the dark are evil, not all that comes from the East is shadow, that some light emerges from the heart of the night, and that dusk has its own charms. This is a story of love, rejection, pride and misjudgment. Legolas/OC

Alatar
The After-Comer
Alatar was a Maia of Osse and one of the two Ithryn Luin (Blue Wizards) along with Pallando. Alatar was the second Maia after Curumo/Curunir (Saruman) chosen to be one of the Istari and he chose to bring his friend Pallando, also a Maia of Orome, along with him. When they arrived in Middle-earth, they were sent into the east, beyond the borders of the maps that appear in Lord of the Rings, to combat the power of Sauron. It is generally believed that they were chosen because of their association with Orome, who would travel throughout Arda to hunt and was familiar with the even farthest places. 
Tolkien’s perception of how successful Alatar and Pallando were changed throughout his stages of writing. In earlier drafts he envisioned them as failing, somewhat like Saruman, and instead either intentionally or unintentionally founding secret/magic cults. But later he changed this so that they were instead successful in leading some of the peoples in the east who didn’t worship Sauron to rise up against him. This is depicted as forcing Sauron to divert some of his attention and resources into the east, which helped make sure that the good peoples of the west weren’t overwhelmed by his forces. In these later drafts Tolkien gave the Blue Wizards new names, Morinhetar (Darkness Slayer) and Romestamo (East-Helper), though he doesn’t specify which name goes with which wizard. 
Tolkien otherwise doesn’t write much about the Blue Wizards, so we don’t know very much about Alatar. At one point Tolkien had written Pallando as a servant of Mandos and Nienna, implying links with death and mourning, prophecy, hope, and cleansing, but he eventually changed this to make Pallando a Maia of Orome. Alatar was always associated with Orome, The Huntsman of the Valar, from the beginning. This would suggest that Alatar was probably a skilled archer, huntsman, and horseman. Since Orome is also the Lord of Forests, Alatar’s magic may have been connected to nature. The fact that the Blue Wizards are described as having cloaks of sea blue might also suggest a connection to water.
