Eowyn or Arwen? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I agree with Lady of Light about the books... but I can't really decide. Using both the books and the movies as references, I'll state my indecision:Arwen is Aragorn's driving force. She loves him completely and without reservation, and is willing to give up her immortality, her father, and her people just to be with Aragorn.Eowyn is a fighter. She's down-to-earth, smart, courageous... she does stuff, whereas Arwen sits around looking pretty (in the books, mind you). Plus she gets more screen and page time with Aragorn, whereas Arwen has a paragraph devoted to her in FotR('whoop-dee-do'). I also agree with Manardariel in that Eowyn would always feel like she was battling Arwen's memory.See my plight? How could I ever decide for poor Aragorn?
