I'm still keeping with Galadriel as my choice (also mother, fighter, warrior, leader, but never selfish... see past posts for more). |

Haleth is cool too, but I don't know too much about her.

Yea for Galadriel! The nice thing about her is that we know quite a bit about her. And much of it is very impressive...
Actually Tolkien gave her a lot of "camera time" in the book, indicative of a strong, important character.

Melian is very impressive, I think.. but Haleth is the one who has made the biggest impression on me; she was "just" of the race of men, not an elf, and after losing her father and brother she started taking care of her people.. a very strong woman.

Oh, I forgot about her. Ok, let's see - i have 3 'most impressive female characters' - a mortal, an elf and a Maia.

Impressive always depends on the race the characters are from.

But we always seem to be more impressed by Elves and Maiar.

Galadriel did many great things prior to LotR books that helped ME. Haleth was a great leader! Both of these were highly impressive females. Many here have mentioned Luthien, who had great courage in facing Melkor with Beren. Even though it was out of love for Beren and not to help ME, that deed can't be discounted. But again, Galadriel's sacrifices and assistance to ME came for the benefit of all who lived there, even those she had never met or loved. |

I don't think that the reasons why somebody did something impressive is that important. Or maybe it is the most important thing about impressive actions. What do you think?

Christians think that Jesus was great because he did great things for people he didn't know or had never met, even people that hated him. [Sorry to bring religion into this, folks. You know I hate to do that.] Most mother's would give their lives for their children, this is out of love for them. Would the same woman do this for someone else's child? The outcome is uncertain when the child is not her own. These women did not give their lives for others, but the risk to themselves was great in what they did. It put them in harm's way. It is the motivation that separates them. Of course, this is all my opinion, and means nothing. |

Oh, I think your opinion is quite cool. That's why I "widened" my statement. First I thought reasons are nothing but then I thought that most of the times without of the reason a hero would be no hero.

I agree so completely with what you said that I can't even think of a response to it other than this. |
