Number 10 for my Ladies of Arda Portfolio (info can be found here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1980006/ ) This is Melian the Maia, played by , as commissioned by

In Valinor, Melian was a Maia spirit who tended the flowering trees in the Dreamland of Lorien, and served the Valarian queens, Vana the Youthful and Este the Healer. However, during the Ages of Starlight she went to Beleriand in Middle-Earth and fell in love with Elwe Singollo, the High King of the Teleri. Together, Melian and Thingol (as Elwe was then called) founded the realm of Doriath and built Menegroth. This was the realm of the Sindar, or Grey-elves, which was protected by an invisible barrier of a powerful spell, called the Girdle of Melian. Melian and Thingol had one daughter, the incomparable Luthien. For many Ages of Starlight and most of the First Age of the Sun, Melian’s enchantment of Doriath protected the realm from harm. Finally, however, the strife of the War of the Jewels found its way into the Sindar kingdom. When King Thingol was slain by treachery in Menegroth in the year 505 of the First Age, she could no longer bear to live in Middle-Earth. Queen Melian fled from Beleriand. Her spell of protection of Doriath melted away, and she returned to the Undying Lands.
