It was an evil doom that set her in his path. For she is a fair maiden, fairest lady of a house of queens. And yet I know not how I should speak of her. When I first looked on her and perceived her unhappiness, it seemed to me that I saw a white flower standing straight and proud, shapely as a lily and yet knew that it was hard, as if wrought by elf-wrights out of steel. Or was it, maybe, a frost that had turned its sap to ice, and so it stood, bitter-sweet, still fair to see, but stricken, soon to fall and die?
You fool. No man can kill me. Die now. I am no man.
Happy international women’s day!
These are beautiful illustrations of three most important female characters in Lord of the Rings series: Galadriel, Lady of Lothlorien, Arwen Undomiel and Eowyn, Shieldmaiden of Rohan, all done by amazing mori raito.

“She’s in some ways a perversion of the classic fairy tale, where the girl sees the knight in armor who saves her. She has to become her own knight and save herself.” – Miranda Otto

‘What do you fear, lady?’ he asked. 'A cage,’ she said.
In the middle of the table, against the woven cloths upon the wall, there was a chair under a canopy, and there sat a lady fair to look upon, and so like was she in form of womanhood to Elrond that Frodo guessed that she was one of his close kindred. Young she was and yet not so. The braids of her dark hair were touched by no frost, her white arms and clear face were flawless and smooth, and the light of stars was in her bright eyes, grey as a cloudless night; yet queenly she looked, and thought and knowledge were in her glance, as of one who has known many things that the years bring.
“she walks in starlight in another world.“
"she was called undómiel, for she was the evenstar of her people…”
And Frodo when he saw her come glimmering in the evening, with stars on her brow and a sweet fragrance about her, was moved with great wonder, and he said to Gandalf: ‘At last I understand why we have waited! This is the ending. Now not day only shall be beloved, but night too shall be beautiful and blessed, and all its fear pass away!’

She answered: “All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more. But I am of the House of Eorl and not a serving-woman. I can ride and wield blade, and I do not fear either pain or death.” “What do you fear, lady?” he asked. “A cage,” she said. “To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.”

What do you fear, my lady? A cage. To stay behind bars until use and old age accept them and all chance of valor has gone beyond recall or desire.
