Way to go, G55

Who cares, I'm going to leave the old bat be for the time being. There are still others who could go for the chopping block.

Double hurt Erendis (seriously, 11?), heal Vána.

Thuringwethil (11)
Lobelia (4)
Goldberry (13)
Rosie (5)
Elwing (10)
Ar-Zimraphel (10)
Aredhel (10)
Nerdanel (8)
Shelob (6)
Erendis (9)
Vána (6)
Vairë (10)

DEAD
Galadriel- phialed off by TP
Ungoliant- swatted by TP
Andreth- aged by TP
Ioreth- quieted by TP
Nienor- mercy-killed by TP
Nienna- left crying by TP
Yavanna- pruned by TP
Idril- offed by TP

P.S. And yeah, if you call Goldberry "mysterious lady", then I am all for it - that is the kind of "mysterious ladies" I like. I have been just thinking, if I was supposed to say the "type" of mysterious ladies I like, then it would be exactly things a bit of the Goldberryish sort, or then some sort of "no one knows whence they came from and where they are going", usually with some spiritual background. For illustration, if I think about my favourite characters from elsewhere who could fall into a kind of similar cathegory, they are an exiled Jedi Knight, her very old mentor who always appeared and disappeared in a bit Gandalf-ish way, but nobody could tell whether she didn't have some sinister agenda, and another female knight who was so mysterious that she did not even know who she was. (I'm sorry I could not provide examples from Tolkien's universe, but well, as we know, the Prof had possibly only one tiny deficient thing in his works, and that was the little bit of neglection of the ladies. But that's old story.)
