• What I like about them

Is there literally anything not to like about Haleth? She reminds me of some of the badass ladies from Czech mythology, like Libuše or Vlasta. 

• What I dislike about them

Like many of Tolkien’s characters, she’s in and out of the narrative before we can learn very much about her. 😦

Also, in terms of how the fandom portrays her, I don’t go in for young, willowy, smudged-eyeliner interpretations of Haleth. I prefer her to be older and a little harder worn.

• Favourite moment

Well, her turning Caranthir down flat and living on her own terms in elven territory comes to mind… 

• Least favourite moment

Does killing a metric shit ton of orcs count? NAAAHHH, the orcs were prolly just like “eh, that’s fair.” I mean if anyone can appreciate a viciously independent warrior queen it’s orcs. Probably.  

• A situation with this character that I want to see explored more

OKAY WELL, PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING, but I’m a sucker for battle scenarios though, so maybe the point at which the Haladin first arrive in Thargelion, thinking perhaps they’ve outrun whatever horrors are chasing them now that they’re in elf-protected lands, only to discover that the new country is not safe at all. I’d like to see Haleth having to take command in the field directly after her father died, keeping her people alive in increasingly desperate straights until backup arrives. 

• An interesting AU for this character

Haleth making a truce with a lady-orc commander. *3* 
Also, total timeline fuckery aside, her meeting Turin would be kinda cool. 

• OTP (or OT3+ etc)

I don’t have one for her, and I don’t think she had one for her either. 

• Other ships

I can see her taking lovers or even long-term partners without ever marrying them or having kids. But also, I think by the time she becomes the Halad, she’s probably pretty settled in to the whole Single Matriarch lifestyle and isn’t looking for romantic companionship. 

• BROTP

 I’d love to see her with some OC Haladin characters!!! *3*

• NOTP

Caranthir ahhahhaahha get fucked buddy 

• An assortment of headcanons

 Valkyrie from Mad Max would make a great faceclaim for a young Haleth???
