Elwing

Elwing was rescued by Glaurung from a drifting iceberg near the Frigid Floes, where he discovered her while on a fishing trip. She was too young to explain what had become of her parents. He carried her back to the lair to thaw and feed her, with the intent to place her in an orphans' clan run by a friend. Uinen, however, couldn't bear to lose the sweet child so soon after disease robbed her of her first son, so Elwing stayed on. As she grew older she grew subtle and empathetic, and did not miss the fact that Eol blushed and stuttered in her presence. It took little persuasion to have the Matriarch approve their match.
