arofili:@finweanladiesweek day six | original characters | díriel airelinna pityafinwielDíriel was the daughter of Amras, born to his wife Thennes of the Sindar after their sundering in the wake of the Second Kinslaying. Her twin brother was Collas, and they were as alike in mood and face as were their father Amras and his twin Amrod, but in her youth Díriel declared herself an elleth, the watching daughter rather than the watching son. Díriel and Collas knew not their father, and were raised by their mother among the Wood-elves of the eastern forests.In the Third Age, Collas and his family were slain in an orc-raid, and after committing his one surviving granddaughter Tauriel to the care of the Grey-elven King, Díriel retired to the West in grief. Not until she arrived in Valinor did she learn of her Noldorin heritage, for her father’s mother Nerdanel recognized her instantly and welcomed her granddaughter into her home. Nerdanel gave unto Díriel the epessë Airelinna, a name of two meanings: copper-song, for the reddish hair she bore, and holy-song, for the miracle of her unlooked-for appearance in the lives of those Noldor who had long been sundered from their kin. -- source link
