I am Elwing

I’m also known as Elwing the White. I am the wife of Earendil the Mariner, mother of twins Elrond and Elros. I can speak to birds and transform into a swan. I am half-elven, but chose to be counted among the Elves, because of my grandmother, Luthien. When the Sons of Feanor came to the Havens of Sirion, to claim the Silmaril I possessed, I threw myself into the sea and became a great white bird. My grandchildren are twins—it runs in the family—Elladan and Elrohir, and Arwen Undomiel. The White Tower of Elwing was built for me to live in, so I could see my husband as he drew near the Earth from the Heavens.  

Who Are You?

All members of my Tolkien's Art, Myths, and Sources course this semester have been given pseudonyms of characters from Tolkien's works. Look up your pseudonym and write a brief description of who that character is and perhaps how he/she relates to other familiar characters. If you are familiar with your character, write a bit about what you think of your namesake.
