My first submission for Legendarium Ladies April, from J.R.R Tolkien’s Silmarillion. (Well, it’s more like Legendarium Ladies Year on this blog.)

Nerdanel, elven sculptor extraordinaire, daughter of Mahtan the Smith and wife of Fëanor who stayed in Valinor when her husband and seven sons were exiled into the Great Lands.

Amarië, Vanyar elf who stayed in Valinor with her family when her love Finrod of the Noldor journeyed into the Great Lands. The Vanyar only ventured into battle once, in the great War of Wrath when they en masse defeated Morgoth and all the orc armies, evil Men, Balrogs and Dragons.

Nienor, (human) daughter of Hurin, who was able to pass as a male Sinda hunter in Doriath where her family members were adopted by the elven king Thingol. I guess this is her last ride with the company of Mablung, she could have been quite an Éowyn like figure. D-X

The explanation of my headcanons behind this drawing accidentally a prose. The art piece was for @legendariumladiesapril, prompt: Beginnings, and also accidentally ‘Fanon’ and ‘Abstracts’. I am in fact that slow 😀

Her husband’s people insisted on referring to it as her true form, but it wasn’t. She didn’t – she wasn’t like Tulkas or Oromë or the matter-shaping maiar of Aulë, to need a body to realise her part in the song of Ëa. She was- was the quality of sound that made it music rather than noise, harmony rather than discord. Her nature held no inherent physicality, but she would, in the springtime of the world, wear a shape to better hear the nightingales sing.

It was not her true form, the shape her husband had first found her in, but it was her most comfortable body, if she chose one, the assemblage of the world around her naked spirit that was easiest to put on. Elu had loved her in it at once. 

His people were afraid of it.
