I may not know about Finarfin's sister(yes, I don't - so?), but many of the House of Finwe who went to Middle-earth because of their desire for power. Maybe save Fingolfin, but he was constrained by his oath to follow; Finarfin less so. And maybe, as someone with rank, Fingolfin hopes to redress the evil Fëanor might do on Middle-earth.

So it's a question of prevention vis-à-vis redress. They both did well in their power. Finarfin was not a wimp to leave the host. Add to the fact that, upon leaving, he might be called a coward(not only by those people but by the people here [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ) - yet he continued with what he believed was right.
