Arwen Undomiel (Arwen Evenstar)

Arwen Leaving Imladris

Daughter of Elrond and Celebrían. Through her mother Celebrían, Arwen is the granddaughter of Galadriel and Celeborn. She was born in Imladris (Rivendell) during the Third Age. Of Arwen's beauty it is said that her ancestress Lúthien Tinúviel is reborn.

Because she is peredhil (half-elven) through her father Elrond, she is given the choice to either stay in Middle-earth and remain mortal or to pass West over the sea with Elrond and remain of the Eldar.

She lived for many years in Lothlórien with her grandmother Galadriel, and it is there that she met Aragorn of the Dúnedain. Because of her love for Aragorn, she chooses to remain in Middle-earth and become his mortal wife, as her ancestress Lúthien did with her love Beren.
