1-3 things I enjoy about them

-SHE SCARES MELKOR INTO HIDING UNDERGROUND I LOVE

-I really like imagining her whenever the Silm or LOTR or the Hobbit mentions “the sun” or “sunlight” 🙂

-Okay even though I hate that version from the HoME where Melkor rapes her and shit I really like the backtalk she gives him

Something interesting about them based on tenuous circumstantial evidence

I mean, she must have wreaked quite a bit of havoc on the natural world when she rose right? Come on. The elves must’ve been freaking out too.

A question I have about them

How does she view humans, given they woke up to her, like the elves did with Varda? Does she have any strong opinions about them?

A random relevant line I like

Okay she had a different name (Urwendi) in the BOLT but…but….BUT!!!!!…:

“So it comes that ever now, as the Ship of the Moon leaves his haven in
the East and his gates of pearl, Ulmo draws the galleon of the Sun
before the Door of Night. Then speaks Urwendi the mystic word, and they
open outward before her, and a gust of darkness sweeps in but perishes
before her blazing light; and the galleon of the Sun goes out into the
limitless dark, and coming behind the world finds the East again.”

My preferred version, if there is more than one version of their story (or part of their story)

Not the Morgoth raping thing. I like to cherry pick the rest.

Favorite relationship(s)

Tilion ofc!

How would they react to Tom Bombadil

She probably knows all about him tbh, though he possibly knows even more about the earth than she does (he was there before her) which is, unsettling…

Optional: Something about them that I think people forget

Okay this is not something people ‘forget,’ but something that I JUST REALLY LIKE TO BRING TO PEOPLE’S ATTENTION BECAUSE I ENJOY TAKING IT SERIOUSLY:

The round Moon rolled behind the hill

As the Sun raised up her head.

She hardly believed her fiery eyes,

For though it was day, to her surprise

They all went back to bed!
