Éowyn

Éowyn was a noblewoman of Rohan and the niece of King Théoden. She was the daughter of Éomund and Theodwyn. Éowyn held the title of the Lady of the Mark and was known for her courage and strength, especially in times of war. She harbored a deep love for her uncle Théoden and was fiercely protective of him and her people.

During the War of the Ring, Rohan faced the threat of Sauron and his forces. Éowyn, despite her desire to fight, was initially ordered by Théoden to remain behind in safety. However, she defied this order and, disguised as a male warrior named Dernhelm, rode to the Battle of the Pelennor Fields alongside the Rohirrim. There, she confronted and famously defeated the Witch-king of Angmar, the Lord of the Nazgûl, with the aid of Meriadoc Brandybuck. This act was crucial in turning the tide of the battle.

Following the war, Éowyn found healing and love with Faramir, the Steward of Gondor, whom she met in the Houses of Healing. They eventually married and found peace away from the battlefield, residing in Ithilien. Éowyn's story is one of bravery, sacrifice, and the overcoming of personal despair, ultimately leading to a life of happiness and renewal.
