Míriel

Míriel Þerindë was the first wife of Finwë, King of the Ñoldor. Her son was Curufinwë, whom she called Fëanor, which means 'Spirit of Fire'. Miriel's hair was described as being silver in appearance, an unusual color for one of the Ñoldor.

After giving birth to Fëanor she wished to die, something which was impossible because, as an Elf, she was immortal within Arda. Instead her feä departed from her body, and she entered the halls of Mandos: in essense she had died of free will. This was seen as a shocking event by the Valar, and eventually led to the second marriage of Finwë, and from there to the Rebellion of the Ñoldor and the First Kinslaying.

After Finwë had been killed, Míriel was granted permission to return to life, where she entered the service of Vairë, her task to weave all the deeds of the House of Finwë in the Tapestry of Time.
