That's the most typical Mary Sue scenario. Or we could do one of those ones where somebody has been poisoned, or the victim of an evil spell, and we have to go on a quest to find the antidote... possibly to the land of some creatures from a completely different fictional world.
As I said, I was going to propose an alternative character, based on a particularly silly Daughter-of-Evil I just found... butI think I've put quite enough work into making Alatariel Moonflower as
special as she is.
If anyone needs inspiration, here are some excerpts from the work in question:
Quote:

There was no such thing as beauty in Mordor till Sauron married the elf maiden, Lady Elaine, the sister of the Lady Galadriel. Further beauty was placed in Mordor when Dûrwen (Half-Elf/Half-Maia) was born.

She had fair skin, as smooth as the mountain water, jade eyes brighter than all the jewels under the earth, and delicate features like all elves. The only characteristic that she had of her father was his hair. Dûrwen’s hair was dark brown and had a red tint to it that resembled a garnet stone.

Quote:
"He knew you could use it [the Ring]. You are half-Maia. You have his will and his strength and more! There is no doubt that you can wield it for him."
Dûrwen was shocked.
Her father, whom she had loved so dearly, merely kept her as a back-up plan in case things did not go his way. For the first time in her life hatred filled her soul.
