Arwen
Description
Born of immortal blood but doomed to live a mortal life, Arwen Evenstar, only daughter of Elrond Halfelven and Celebrían, is reputed to bear the likeness of her great-great-grandmother, Lúthien Tinúviel, the most beautiful woman to dwell in Arda. Like Lúthien before her, Arwen has chosen to give up her immortality for the love of a mortal Man, Aragorn, son of Arathorn, rightful heir to the thrones of both Arnor and Gondor. But their wedding is not assured, for her father has forbidden that any Man would marry his daughter, unless he takes the thrones of both kingdoms.
Aragorn and Arwen first met in Rivendell, and later yet again in the glades of Lothlórien, the realm of Arwen’s grandmother, Galadriel, where they were betrothed. For many long years while Aragorn wandered alone in the wilderness awaiting the time of his ascension, Arwen dwelt in the land of her grandmother until she returned to Rivendell with her brothers, Elladan and Elrohir. The Shadow in the East had begun to stir, and so Elrond summoned her home for her protection. Little did he realize that Rivendell itself would become as an island amidst the storm. — lorebook
