Noldorin princess, daughter of Orodreth. She and Gwindor loved each other, but when Túrin came to Nargothrond Finduilas fell in love with him. Although Túrin loved her not, Gwindor at his death laid on him the duty to protect her, prophesying that she alone could save the Adan from his fate. Finduilas was captured by Orcs during the Sack of Nargothrond, but Túrin, deceived by Glaurung, went to Dor-lómin after Morwen and Nienor. Finduilas was slain by her captors when they were ambushed by the Haladin of Brethil at the Crossings of Teiglin. The Haladin buried her in Haudh-en-Elleth.
She was given the epithet Faelivrin by Gwindor.
