Does someone here know, when Galadriels neece Finduilas was born? And i know, that her Father was Orodreth, but who was her mother?
I was really moved by her sad story, it must be really horrible, getting kidnapped and killed by Orks in that cruel way.
And is my impression, that she has loved Turin Turmabar, right? And how old was she, when she died? Was she born in Valinor?
 
Don't think the place and day of birth or the mother is ever mentioned. It is assumed she was born in Valinor.
And yeah, she loved the black sword but being true to his nature, he was a bit of a jerk to her.
 
In texts dated c. 1959 Tolkien mused that Finduilas may have been born in Beleriand . . .

. . . but also in Aman . . .

:cough:

. . . and to skip happily over the various dates and "growth rates" from these texts [published in
The Nature of Middle-earth], in any case, later, in August 1965, Tolkien imagines Finduilas as a
daughter of a "Sindarin lady of the North"

Here [See The Shibboleth of Feanor, The parentage of Gil-galad, The Peoples of Middle-earth] Finduilas is Angrod's granddaughter, daughter of Arothir [Orodreth] and sister of Gil-galad.
