Elenwë was a Vanyarin elf, the wife of Turgon and the mother of Idril, to whom she passed on the golden hair of her kindred.

Biography

Elenwë along with many others died during the crossing of Helcaraxë, while Turgon almost perished himself trying to save her.

She was the only known Vanyar elf to have ever left Valinor and after her death her bloodline survived through her grandson Eärendil, her great-grandsons Elrond and Elros, onward into the royal Númenor-line. Her other descendants included Arwen and her brothers Elladan and Elrohir.[1][2]

Etymology

Elenwë means "Star person" in Quenya.
