Celebrian!


 

Name Meaning: Celeb is elvish for “Silver”. However my sources would not tell me the meaning off the rest of the name. (My sources are a SECRET!! But they are genuine I promise you that!)

 

Family: Daughter of Galadriel and Celeborn, married Elrond and had two sons (Elladan and Elrohir) and a daughter (Arwen.) She has no brothers or sisters.

 

Looks: Presumably blond. (Look at her parents). I wouldn’t be surprised if she had the whole “glowing” thing as well. (Arwen is said to be the exact likeness of her father, only female. So don’t look there for Celebrian’s looks) The above picture is an artists impression.

 

Role in Lord or the Rings: Other than being Arwen’s mother and Elrond’s wife none.

 

If she’s Elrond’s wife why is she never mentioned?

 

Because by the time Lord of the Rings was written she was dead. Dead being a loose term as elves don’t really die. (It’s complicated so I won’t give a full explanation).

 

How did she die?

 

She was shot by orcs with a poison arrow. Which even Elrond’s healing magic wasn’t strong enough to heal. (At the time, who knows he may have gotten stronger/better) Though i have read another version where she was tortured by the orcs as well as shot before she was finally rescued by her sons. Elrond cured the wound but the torture was too much for her and she died of the shock.
