  1. Galadriel is complicated and it is one of the things I like about her. Also that there is some mystery about her and in the books her possible previous relationships with the wizards. Lothlorien was in no small part about protecting the surrounding area and also themselves. That they survived as long as they did in the shadow of Dol Guldur is a testament to Her commitment and skill. As well as to the power of the elvish rings. 

     

    Fingolfin was always my favourite elf. I wanted to use his name for my handle here but it was already taken. He was basically a Paladin Elf. His battle with Morgoth was epic. amazingly sad but epic. 

     

    The fall of Gondolin was also pretty epic as far as heroism goes. Again also amazingly sad. Silmarillion is just so  full of awesome.

    I've always felt drawn to the Hobbits in that they liked growing things and their homes were in the earth.

     

    Someday, I will have my own home where I can have a garden, and a round window. I can dream.

     

    I think for the adventurous side of hobbits, I've got a thing for the Tooks.

     

    I have felt really drawn to the Elves.

     

    Yeah, the elves were my favorite, too. I really liked Galadriel. I don't think Cate Blanchett was the right actress to cast for the role because she doesn't look and "feel" right to me, but her acting was satisfactory. Anyway, Galadriel was my favorite elf in the books, and I thought it was neat that Gimli had a crush on her. 

     

    Who do you think might have been better? Older or younger? At first I wasn't sure but thinking back about Galadriel (who is a total BA) I think she was a good choice. 

     

    Galadriel was considered one of the most beautiful elves to ever live. She was chased by Feanor in the time of the trees. There is a rumour that He asked her for a lock of her hair and that it was to be incorporated into the Silmarils. The story goes he asked 3 times and that is part of why she gave Gimli three locks.

    Why are you bald Elayne? I like to drive really fast :biggrin:

     

    Really though, the Andorian walk of atonement past all the local women's councils whilst they sniff in your general direction with their arms folded.
