Thank you, Galin! That was much researched & interesting ado about Elven ancestry, grazi for that, babe.
What you've presented here, confirms my assertation about the Eldar & Numenorean elves- Mirkwoods & Lorien-nites and so forth, not that any of this REALLY has anything to do with whether or not it's O.K. for Fran Walsh & Peter Jackson to thrust upon us a brand-new, invented character into The Hobbit. I''m not into this idea. I'm not OK with the implementation of Tauriel, not quite yet. Not yet, at ALL. I have the feeling that Tolkien himself is rolling around in his grave so fiercely right now that he'll probably have to leave it, briefly, and go haunt the muckers-up of his literary legacy, for a time.

The more I think about this, the more I don't mind it. Just so the story isn't re-written around her, I think there is room to include additional characters.
Especially when we keep in mind that Tolkien was writing a book in the 1930's and Jackson is making a movie in the 2010's. In the former, it's quite excusable (esp given the genre and traditional roles) to omit a strong female character of this type. In the latter - it's much harder to do so.
