Galadriel

Character from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

The most powerful Elf remaining in Middle-earth — she has spent three ages watching everything she loves diminish, and her choice to refuse the Ring is the hardest victory anyone wins in the entire war.

Also known as: Galadriel, Lady of Light, Lady of Lothlórien, Lady of the Golden Wood, Altáriel, Alatáriel

What They Know

• Bears Nenya, the Ring of Water, which preserves Lothlórien in a state of timeless beauty — if the One Ring is destroyed, Nenya's power will fail and Lothlórien will fade
• Her Mirror shows visions of past, present, and possible futures — but not all visions come to pass, and the viewer must interpret carefully
• She was born in Valinor and is one of the last living beings who saw the light of the Two Trees
• She perceives Sauron's thought but he cannot perceive hers — her mental defenses are absolute
• The Elves are leaving Middle-earth regardless of the war's outcome — the Third Age is ending and nothing can stop it
• She refused the Ring not from lack of desire but from the hard-won wisdom of knowing what power does to those who wield it
• Lothlórien is defended by the power of Nenya — without it, the forest would be as vulnerable as any other Elven realm
