*types* Okay, it says she hangs about flowering trees, and apparently she can make flowers bloom... So I'm counting it as fitting. Quote:
She's a Disney princess. Okay, maybe she belongs ahead of Ar-Zimraphel, whose major life-events were losing the scepter and drowning. Thuringwethil on the other hand flew about Tol In Gaurhoth and Angband, and presumably ate people. Or Aredhel, who was an adventurer/hunter/etc. that the king of Gondolin couldn't do squat to restrain when she felt like hanging out with her cousins. Not to mention she sacrificed herself for her kid, which gets her points. And then there's Nerdanel, who set the record for creating kids (and awesome ones at that), and was a great sculptor, and actually captured Feanor's fiery heart for a time, and was the only person that could influence him.

I completely agree with Legate about the different ladies, the main difference being that I'm not very much in the mood lately to be fascinated by Nerdanel at all (though once I could have rated her above Goldberry...). While Goldberry and Tom are a bit of a sing-song couple, she seems to be such a radiant and joyful spirit of nature in that forest that even seven crazy sons don't match that. Just look at the effect on the hobbits when they are in her presence. Thuringwethil and Nerdanel are just "cool" in a very shallow sense. Vaire I like better because of her job of "recording history", and I'd place her not too far away from Goldberry, actually. Tar Miriel is ok because I just seem to like her (but I can't stand her other name *brrr*). Aredhel I've never really loved, but I suppose I'm sort of ok with her too. Same with Elwing. But Goldberry right now appeals much more to me because of that feeling radiating from her. --Nerdanel, Thu ++Goldberry Thuringwethil (7) Goldberry (15) Elwing (7) Ar-Zimraphel (10) Aredhel (9) Nerdanel (6) Vairë (11) 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 Lobelia- umbrella-ed by TP Shelob- stepped on by TP Erendis- drowned by TP Rosie- finished by TP Vana- weeded out by TP
