Canon specifics -❝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.❞
- The Fellowship of the Ring: Book 2, Chp 1
History:
(doing a mini-hybrid of book and movie)
Arwen was born to Elrond and Celebrian in yr. 241 of the Third Age. She is the youngest of three, having two older brothers (Twins Elladan and Elrohir) and is part of the Peredhel line. In 2509, her mother was captured and tortured by Orcs which eventually led to her mother choosing to leave Middle-Earth the next year. After her mother's departure, she spent most of her time in Lothlorien with her Grandmother, Galadriel. In the year 2951, she returned to visit her father and met Aragorn. Aragorn fell in love with her, but she did not return it. Not until they reunited in Lothlorien in 2980 where they spent a season together and on Midsummer's Eve plighted their troth on Cerin Amroth. Though, they couldn't wed because her father did not want to see her marry a man that was any lesser than the King of Gondor and Arnor.
She was called back to Rivendell by her father in 3009 when the Misty Mountains and the rest of the lands in the east grew more dangerous. Arwen and Aragorn were reunited in October of 3018 when he escorted Frodo to Rivendell, but left two months later on the quest to destroy the ring.
In Lothlorien, Aragorn received the Elessar that had been left for him by Arwen - a gift passed down through the generations. As the war rages on and the cause begins to look more and more hopeless, at the urging of her father she eventually rides with a company to depart for Valinor. On the way, she has a vision of her son which sends her racing back to her father to see her choice through.
She then sends a banner she'd made with Elladan and Elrohir when they accompanied Halbarad and the Rangers that had the White Tree of Gondor emblem, the Seven Stars, and the Crown of Elendil for Aragorn. [canon point]
Once the war is over, she travels to Gondor with her father and marries Aragorn on Mid-year's Day - making her the Queen of the Reunited Kingdom. She then gives Frodo a white jewel to help him with his suffering as well as her place on the ship sailing into the West where his wounds might be healed and the burden of the memories would be eased. After travelling for King Theoden's funeral, she and Elrond say their final farewells. She then lives happily with Aragorn for 120 years and have a son and daughters before death took Aragorn. After a year of grief, she traveled to Lothlorien and passed away.
Personality:
Arwen has a keen mind and a vast knowledge base not only in history but in healing as well as she comes from a family of skilled healers. She's more reserved than her brothers, quiet reflection something she values. With family, however, the more quick-witted side of her personality can come out - quick retorts and banter not uncommon to slip from her lips around them.
Her being more reserved does not mean anything about the size of her heart. She's incredibly kind, both to her own kin and other races. Arwen has also become something of a steady beacon of hope. Even when her father tries to convince her that all hope's lost, she has a vision of the future and finds the strength to see her choice through. She has an incredible capacity to love and is loyal to a fault. On the other side of it, though, she's also incredibly stubborn. Once she's set her mind to something, it's very difficult to get her to change it.
Abilities:
• Elves are immortal and will live until the world ends or faces enough sorrow that her heart breaks. While elves are immortal, they are not invincible and can be killed or die from a fatal wound.
• Arwen is a Peredhel - or half-elven - meaning she can choose to forsake her immortality. This is a choice she makes for Aragorn, so she can have a single lifetime with him.
• Elves also are resistant to most types of weather - such as extreme cold and heat.
• They also tend to be faster healers and have heightened senses such as eyesight and hearing.
• They are incredibly light on their feet and don't require much sleep or food. They can walk on top of snow without leaving a footprint.
• They also have a deep connection with nature, able to understand trees and plants.
• Their incredible memories combined with long lives lead to a wide knowledge base as well.
• Elves are immune to disease and illness, although Arwen's case is different. Due to the evil poisoning the land around her, it has made her ill - the only solutions being the destruction of the one ring or sailing to the undying lands where the ring's presence cannot be felt.
• Arwen is the granddaughter of Lady Galadriel and the daughter of Lord Elrond, it is safe to say she inherited some of their abilities such as telepathy and foresight. Her father and grandmother are also skilled healers, so it can be assumed Arwen would have learned from them.***Specific details of her telepathy and foresight are available in her Powers Opt-In Post - but a quick summary would be that she can speak telepathically with someone and can possibly get a glimpse at a future event for someone in relation to a plot that's going on. She cannot influence thoughts or call on visions whenever the mood strikes.
