Nerdanel in the time of stars. I really appreciate the thoughtful look in her eyes. She was known as Nerdanel the Wise, not just because she refused to join the rebellion against the Valar, but because she truly sought to listen to and understand others. Fëanor would seek only her counsel, and for a time, she was able to temper his fiery spirit.
“Nerdanel also was firm of will, but more patient than Fëanor, desiring to understand minds rather than to master them, and at first she restrained him when the fire of his heart grew too hot.” (The Silmarillion - “Of Fëanor”)
“He asked the aid and sought the counsel of none that dwelt in Aman, great or small, save only and for a little while of Nerdanel the wise, his wife.“ (The Silmarillion - “Of Fëanor”)
