[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Well, just about all of the "good guys" in Tolkien's works have perfomed some pretty brave acts. I must certainly agree with what Lindril said about Sam, and the comments about Beren and Luthien. I think just about everything Beren and Luthien did was brave. I mean, escaping from Hirilorn to venture out into the unknown after Beren was pretty brave of Luthien, and standing before Thingol (and actually defying him!) would take a lot of courage, too. And that was just the beginning...
