[the_white_lady]

Names:
Éowyn
The White Lady of Rohan
Lady of Ithilien

Background and history:
Éowyn was a noblewomanand Shieldmaiden of Rohan, daughter of Éomund and Theodwyn, younger sister of Éomer and niece of King Théoden. Forced to spend most of her youth caring for Théoden in his declining years, she yearned for an opportunity to prove herself in battle. She was driven to near-suicidal despair by her situation, and her unrequited love for Aragorn.

When she was rebuffed by the men she longed to accompany into battle, she disguised herself as a man and accompanied the Rohirrim army to Minas Tirith, where she won great renown in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields by slaying the Witch-King of Angmar, with the help of the hobbit Meriadoc Brandybuck, whom she had carried with her. Severely wounded by the Ring Wraith, she nearly died, but recovered with Aragorn's help in The Houses of Healing. There she met Faramir, the Steward of Gondor, and fell in love with him. The two married and settled in Ithilien after the war.

Character Points:
”I will be a shieldmaiden no longer, nor vie with the great Riders, nor take joy only in the songs of slaying. I will be a healer, and love all things that grow and are not barren.”

This is a much older Éowyn. She’s been married to Faramir for several years, and with him has six sons, most of whom are adults. She’s been a healer for years as well, and this is the role she plays in Gondolin, which is in desperate need of human healers, what with the arrival of all the humans. She’s also has some skill at healing Elves, taught to her by Aragorn.

Éowyn misses her husband and family very much, but has decided that until she can find a way back to them, she will live a good and useful life in Gondolin. She’s pleased to know both Théoden and Théodred, although it’s hard for her to get used to them so young.

She takes Melkor in, not knowing that it’s actually Melkor, but believing him to be a traumatized little girl.

Appearance: Éowyn is still very beautiful; tall, slim, pale, and graceful, with long golden hair, although there is grey in it now.
Face: Meryl Streep

Likes: Healing, taking care of people, gardening, cooking, children.

Dislikes: Arrogant people, trolls, rum drinks.
