++Witch-King
It follows that because Celebrian was not mentioned much in any histories, she is not all that important. I would have to agree with you on that point. She never ruled a realm, never fought in a great battle, never sat with the heads of state deciding great polocies. But I like her anyway. Almost because she didn't do any of that.
The Witch-King on the other hand, if fighting against all that the Second Age stands for: Sam Gamgee and the Gaffer, Bilbo writing verses by the fire, the Mountains, the Rule of Men, the Havens of Elves, the will of Manwe and Eru. I find that dispicable.
Celebrian is a perfect Second Ager: percisely because she is not "important".
