21- Favorite elf-maiden? She was younger in the years of the Eldar than her brothers; and when she was grown to full stature and beauty she was tall and strong, and loved much to ride and hunt in the forests. There she was often in the company of the sons of Fëanor, her kin; but to none was her heart’s love given.The Silmarillion, "Of Eldamar and the Princes of the Eldalië"I don’t want to be so cliche as to say “Lúthien” (though she is the real hero of that arc; Beren is useless), so I’m going with Aredhel. But I mean, seriously, what’s not to love? She’s the closest thing to a tomboy we get in Middle-earth until Eowyn. She doesn’t take crap from anybody, especially if they are her male cousins trying to act like their her father. She rides, she hunts, and she has a thing for bad boys which admittedly ends up being problematic. Art credit: Anke Eissmann -- source link
