Finduilas

Finduilas was a noblewoman of Doriath in J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium, primarily appearing in The Silmarillion. She was the daughter of Gwindor, a lord of Nargothrond, and Morwen Eledhwen. Her family fled from the ruins of Nargothrond during the Wars of Beleriand and sought refuge in Doriath. There, Finduilas grew up and became known for her beauty and grace.

She fell in love with a human ranger named Túrin Turambar, who had also found his way to Doriath under a cloud of misfortune. Their love was unrequited, as Túrin was deeply troubled by his past and the curse upon his family, and he did not fully reciprocate her affections. Despite her love for him, Finduilas was eventually captured by Orcs during an attack on Doriath.

Túrin, hearing of her capture, was driven by guilt and love to pursue the Orcs. He found Finduilas being dragged away, her voice a faint cry for help. Though he managed to kill many of her captors, he was too late to save her life. Finduilas died in captivity, her last moments marked by the realization that Túrin had indeed come for her, even if it was too late. Her death was a significant event that further darkened Túrin's already tragic fate.
