No. I think you should pay more attention to a word "smile"

Born in happy place
with smile on my face

My brother left bliss
and he ended in unhapiness

And although we're apart
he'll always stay in my heart.

Who am I?

Well I'm pretty sure I have a good response to this, since you're being ever so impatient and want an answer. I have to get back to work but I'll be on tonight and will explain my answer fully. *leaves you all in anticipation*

*sigh* The answer is Lalwen...

I'll set up an easier riddle:

I betrayed my folks with my confusion
upon seeing and ilussion.

Dishonourable death I had
and with cruelty I was killed.

Who am I?

Are you a bird? Are you a plane? Is your name by any chance Rumpelstiltskin?
None of the above? Thought so. Alright then, you're Gorlim.

(PS. - Lalwen (=Lalwendë=Írien/Írimë, right?) was a nice one, but she went into exile with Fingolfin, didn't she, so why were they 'apart'?)

I don't know, Pitch, Rumplie and the like used illusion. She's talking about ilussion, which is something completely different. I don't think the answer's going to be that simple, not with that specific of word choice. Wow, it's difficult....

Incidentally, I had a really clever response, but decided not to use it. Me. (I was born in a town whose meaning is very roughly "happy", I grinned a lot as a baby, and I grew up apart from my idiot brother who is a very strange child.) I also really considered using something from another fandom just to spice things up and keep Urwen's impatience at bay, but couldn't find anyone who worked with whom I could sufficiently snark. It disappointed me to no end. You know me!

Well,it is 'that simple'!

Please continue...

And by apart,I mean because of his death.

Sorry for forgetting about this thread - I really shouldn't solve any riddles without a new one in petto...
Anyway. This should be fairly easy:

The west wind's breath made flesh I'm not,
On my foot there is no wing;
I rarely gallop, rather trot,
But I'm the namesake of the King.
