Hey Maril, maybe she loved her boyfriend so much she decided to sneak out of Rivendell, and help him in whatever way she could. Foolish? Yes. Plausible? YES. Admirable? Doubly so. A very far stretch from the book Arwen indeed, but an enjoyable one nonetheless. <BR>Also, I still hold to the opinion that Arwen was NOT portrayed as a warrior princess, she was too sensitive for that. Remember, when she pulled the sword on the Nazgul, her intention wasn't to fight them, but to make them think "Who does she think she is? Let's make mincemeat out of this little Elven priss!"- and to thus step into the river, and get washed away. Yeah, the whole "a ranger caught off his guard" line was a little bit cheesy, but then once again, I seriously doubt Aragorn would have chopped her head off. He would have probably recognized her sweet scent.
