Once Alderic's player is about I'll be sure to poke her with the idea and have her comment here to see what she thinks!
My elf is valan_arandil and he could have wandered across her village at any point during her lifetime, so if you want to have her as a child, that's highly possible as well. He spent all of his life, save for the time fighting the Siege of Denerim, in the Brecellian Forest and about. He is a hunter and tracker as well as a warrior so it's possible he was out on a game hunt or tracking something suspicious and worrisome.
