Arwen was not an Elf (JRRT is quite explicit about this in Letter 345). She was a Half-elf who was allowed a Choice. Elrond was not an Elf. He was a Half-elf who chose to be accounted among the Elves in fate. As is noted in App. A, Arwen was allowed to 'ive with the youth of the Eldar' while Elrond remained in Middle-earth. Butshe still had to choose between 'immortality' and 'mortality' (eventually).
