I think Eowyn is a really cool character, but up against Arwen she just seems like a child. Arwen had been around for several thousand years and decided to give up literally everything for Aragorn (includeing her life). Eowyn wanted to get out of the house.
Eowyn is much easier to relate to, she is altogether human and her weaknesses are the things that endear her to us, but still, Eowyn vs. Arwen? no chance IMO. (this is why Liv Tyler is so evil, btw, she's turned Arwen into Eowyn, ugh) |

Eowyn does seem like a child, but that just makes her interesting. What does IMO mean? As for giving up everything, of course she did, how could she not?

I'd have to say Eowyn. Both characters have their good points, and although Arwen isn't in the story much, there are other good points to people rather than just battle-readiness. And Arwen is an elf. . .but besides that, I would say Eowyn because. . .well...(I sense Tano laughing madly right now)...I can relate to her character more.

Pffft. Arwen. Bah, she gave up immortal life to marry some long legged 'uman out of the woods who was 1/100th her age, and then when he dies, she realizes she did an oopsie.
Nar- gimmie a sheild maiden any day. Eowyn was blonde too- that counts for more than dainty elf feet any day in my book

Since when did orks care for blond hair? Aren't you more concerned about how many warts they have?

But there are lots of blondes with deep voices. You would think that shield maidens would be pretty masculine anyway. Arwen would be the most vulnerable by far. Except in the movie, where Eowyn is probably a wuss

Galadriel was blonde, but her voice was "deeper than a woman's wont".
