I like Eowyn. She's a strong female, a good fighter, and slayed (slew?) the witch king.

I like ARwen more...but only becouse she is an elf. I love elfs and they are my favorite characters, but if they would both be humans I`d take Eowyn

I agree, Arwen is my favourite deffinately but maybe it's only because she's an Elf, i don't know but she's my favourite. She gave up her immortality for her true love.
I do like Eowyn though she's a strong woman and a fighter and from Rohan. Overall i think that they are both strong amazing women but Arwen is my favourite. |

Ok, definetely Eowyn. Arwen doesn't do anything important in the books, that's why they exchanged Glorfindel for Arwen, so that people don't say "Why in the world would Aragorn Marry her?" She is only Aragorn's love, she doesn't do much else. Eowyn is cool, because she actually fights. She can go out in battle, and beat the witch king, while Arwen high-tails it with her dad.

This is like the 'Padme or Leia' thread. Eowyn!! Arwen is stupid in the movie and boring in the books. Eowyn is always cool.

Oh no! You can't do this! It's impossible to compare them. They're both wonderful in their own way. It breakes my heart when u compare them!

I'm not sure. I took a quiz and I have the most in common with Eowyn but I still can't decide

lol they both have their virtues, beauty and intelligence for Arwen, spirit and strength for Eowyn, and passion for both, although neither of the two lack any of these qualities.
if seeking a favourite, how about Luthien? she embodies all the valued characteristics of Eowyn and Arwen. She is a lover and a fighter, and her perils and sacrifices were greater than Eowyn's or Arwen's. Plus, she's not only an elf, but half Maiar, and she's described as being the most beautiful creature ever to walk the lands of Middle Earth. Luthien is cool... however, between Eowyn and Arwen I choose Eowyn. Hands down. |

It's a close call. I don't know who I'd pick. They are both great characters (talking about the books only!). I mean, yes Eowyn gets to do all the fighting and she has great determination. But Arwen is an ELF!!! The Elves are my favorite creatures and that contributes alot too. And I'd have to agree with elixir on this one. Arwen chose mortality to be with the man that she loved. Now that takes guts too. Okay, so I'm not usually the one for these love stories, but this is one exception.
In my eyes they are both as good as each other and I don't think that you can compare them.

Tough call because they're so different, but I'll vote for Arwen. I appreciate Eowyn's valor, but I prefer Arwen's consistency and strength. The fact that she's the most beautiful female in Middle-earch doesn't hurt, either...

I like them both quite a bit, but I am a sucker for dark hair. Arwen.
In Eowyn's defense, I do like a woman that can kick my ass .

I like both, and don't have anything against Arwen, but Eowyn is definetly my favorite.
She is more interesting, and has more depth. I also like that she doesn't let herself be forced to what is expected of women, instead of what she wants to do.

Eowyn definetly; she's not wimpy like Arwen, and takes controll of her destiny- I always like those sort of characters in books. Actually, she's my favorite character besides Faramir; when I read that they got married, I was glad- my two fav characters- together

Out of those two I would prefer Eowyn. Arwen isn't bad but she barely does anything. Eowyn is far more developed as a character.
Personally I prefer Luthien anyway. |
