Description

"for fairer than are born to Men
a daughter had he, Luthien.
Such lissom limbs no more shall run
on the green earth beneath the sun;
so fair a maid no more shall be
from dawn to dusk, from sun to sea.
Her robe was blue as summer skies,
but grey as evening were her eyes;
'twas sewn with golden lilies fair,
but dark as shadow was her hair.
Her feet were light as bird on wing,
her laughter lighter than the spring;
the slender willow, the bowing reed,
the fragrance of a flowering mead,
the light upon the leaves of trees,
the voice of water, more than these
her beauty was and blissfulness,
her glory and her loveliness;
and her the king more dear did prize
than hand or heart or light of eyes."
(JRRT, "The Lay of Leithian")

The first woman in the series! The bat is Thuringwethil, in whose skin Lúthien went before Morgoth's throne and stole one of the Silmarils out of his crown. A great woman!
