"There Bredhil the Blessed the bluemantled,
the Lady of the heights as lovely as the snow
in lights gleaming, of the legions of the stars,
the cold immortal Queen of mountains,
too fair and terrible too far and high
for mortal eyes, in Manwë's court..."
― The Flight of the Noldoli from Valinor, vv. 45-50
Varda Elentári, known in Sindarin as Elbereth Gilthoniel, was a Valië, one of the Aratar, the wife of Manwë and Queen of the Valar

For I am the daughter of Elrond. I shall not go with him when he departs to the Havens: for mine is the choice of Luthien, and as she so have I chosen, both the sweet and the bitter.

"There was also a strange Elf clad in green and brown, Legolas, a messenger from his father..."
― The Fellowship of the Ring, "The Council of Elrond"
Legolas was a Sinda Elf, the prince of the Woodland Realm of Mirkwood. His grandfather Oropher was of the Sindar of Doriath, and his father Thranduil was king of Mirkwood (Greenwood the Great). His birthdate is unknown, as are his earliest exploits. His most notable role is the part he played in the War of the Ring, during which he represented the Elven in the Fellowship of the Ring. His Elven abilities, such as superior sight and hearing, lightness of foot, and skilled archery, were invaluable to his eight companions.
Legolas' unlikely friendship with the Dwarf, Gimli son of Glóin was considered odd. As such a friendship was rare between the two races, due to the long-standing grievances between Dwarves and Elves dating back to the Elder Days. And, unlikely because of the grudge between their two particular houses for the rough treatment Glóin and the rest of Thorin Oakenshield's company was given by Thranduil on an earlier occasion

"Maedhros did deeds of surpassing valour, and the Orcs fled before his face; for since his torment upon Thangorodrim his spirit burned like a white fire within, and he was as one that returns from the dead."
― Quenta Silmarillion, "Of the Ruin of Beleriand and the Fall of Fingolfin"
Maedhros was one of the princes of the Noldor and was eldest of the Sons of Fëanor.

Celebrían was an Elf-lady of Lothlórien, the daughter of Celeborn and Galadriel. As the wife of Elrond, she was also known as Lady of Rivendell. She was the mother of Arwen and the twins Elrohir and Elladan. Her daughter would later marry Aragorn Elessar, hero of the War of the Ring, and become the Queen of the Reunited Kingdom.
🍃🍃🍃🌸🍃🍃🍃🌸🍃🍃🍃🌸🍃🍃🍃🍃
Celebrían was born early in the Second Age, likely in S.A. 300, when Galadriel refused to return to Eressëa, and passed over the Mountains.[1] Celebrían lived in Eregion, and later moved to Lórien with her mother in S.A. 1350. In S.A. 1701, she went to Rivendell with Galadriel searching for Celeborn, where she first met Lord Elrond, who loved her in secret.Centuries later they would marry, in T.A. 109. Their first children, the twins Elladan and Elrohir, were born in 130, and their daughter Arwen in 241.She had inherited the Elfstone from her mother, which was later given to Arwen, her daughter
In T.A. 2509, on a trip to Lórien to visit her parents, she was waylaid by Orcs of the Misty Mountains in the Redhorn Pass. She was captured and tormented, receiving a poisoned wound. Her sons rescued her and she was physically healed by Elrond, but never fully recovered in mind or spirit, and no longer wished to stay in Middle-earth. She left for the Grey Havens and passed over the Great Sea the following year.
She was followed by Elrond and her mother Galadriel, who eventually took the White Ship in the end of the Third Age and also passed the Great Sea to the Undying Lands,where all presumably reunited

Melian served Vána and Estë. She was said to be akin to Yavanna the Valië. She is associated with songbirds, and it is said she taught nightingales how to sing and their music followed her paces. In Valinor, she dwelt in the gardens of Lórien tending its trees, and she was the most beautiful, wise and skilled in songs of enchantment of all the people of Irmo. However, she journeyed often to Middle-earth for she loved the deep shadows of trees and forests

"...she also is lithe and fleetfooted. Deer she loves, and they follow her train whenever she goes in the wild; but she can outrun them, swift as an arrow with the wind in her hair. In dancing she delights, and she dances in Valimar on lawns of never-fading green."

Early in the history of Arda, Ossë was corrupted by Morgoth but Aulë pleaded Uinen to persuade him to return to the service of Ulmo.
The Teleri of Olwë had much love for Uinen, as she and Ossë had befriended them at the river Sirion during the Great March.
Uinen wept for the Teleri mariners after the kinslaying at Alqualondë and rose a storm that sunk many Noldor on the stolen Swan-ships.
Considered a protector and bringer of calm seas by the mariners of Númenor, they would cry to her for help, while their respect for the Valar endured.
The Guild of Venturers were also known as Uinendili.

"Too bright were the eyes of Arien for even the Eldar to look on, and leaving Valinor she forsook the form and raiment which like the Valar she had worn there, and she was as a naked flame, terrible in the fullness of her splendor."
― Quenta Silmarillion, "Of the Sun and Moon and the Hiding of Valinor"
Arien (Q, [ˈari.en]) was the Maia who guided the Sun

Elven brooches were given to all nine members of the Fellowship of the Ring and were used to fasten the hooded cloaks made for them by Galadriel. Each brooch was fashioned like a green leaf veined with silver.
the Fellowship prepared to depart Lórien on 16 February T.A. 3019,the Galadhrim brought them cloaks with hoods that matched the size of each traveller. To keep them attached around each wearer a brooch was provided.
On 26 February,as the Uruk-hai were driving Merry and Pippin across the Wold, Pippin swerved to the right and ran from the Orcs. He was quickly caught but he managed to drop his Elven brooch on the ground in the faint hope that it might be found.
Pippin's faint hope was answered on 27 February when Aragorn discovered the hobbit's brooch. "Not idly do the leaves of Lórien fall," proclaimed Aragorn. The Three Hunters were encouraged by this find although they hoped that Pippin did not pay too dearly for his boldness.
On 7 March, in Henneth Annûn, Frodo displayed his Elven brooch to Faramir. Faramir agreed that it was of the same craftsmanship as the golden belt that his brother wore in his funeral boat, further confirming Frodo's story and knowledge of Boromir.
The Mouth of Sauron displayed Frodo's Elven cloak and brooch to the parley group at the Morannon on 25 March.At the end of the parley Gandalf seized the tokens.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥The Secret Fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Therefore Ilúvatar gave to their vision Being, and set it amid the Void, and the Secret Fire was sent to burn at the heart of the World; and it was called Eä."
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Secret Fire, known as the Flame Imperishable, was Ilúvatar's mysterious power of creation in Arda. The Secret Fire refers to that aspect of Eru Ilúvatar which is his Power of Creation. It is the power to give life and substance, through it he granted free will and true life, imbuing a fëa within the beings he created. The Ainur and Eä were made through it.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Without it the appearance of life would merely be a mockery animated with a Vala's will, such as Morgoth's corruptions, which lived but did not have free will or true life. Melkor was envious of it and sought it in the Void, but the Flame was only with Eru. It was with Ilúvatar at the beginning, and later Ilúvatar set it (or an aspect of it) at the centre of Arda.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Secret Fire is also described as being part of all fëa: it is that Gift which makes sentient beings capable of independent thought. Aulë's Dwarves were not made in mockery of Eru's or any other Vala's creation, but they did not have independent thought or life until Eru granted them fëa.
Gandalf the Grey referred to both the Secret Fire and the Flame of Anor at the Bridge of Khazad-dûm:
"You cannot pass, I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass."
― The Fellowship of the Ring :The Bridge of Khazad-dûm
