Character ask OBVIOUSLY FARAMIR
If someone's already asked about him, then Γowyn :)
one aspect about them i love
Literally everything. I self-project on her a lot but man she's...... her struggle feels so real. And it's just so important to me that she overcomes it, that she finds joy, that she gets to live her life π₯Ήπ
one aspect i wish more people understood about them
(Snatching her away from the girlboss fans) she didn't go to fight to be cool!!!!!!! to be like "oh if men can do it then i can do it better"!!!!!!!! she literally went to die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! because she'd rather die with some valour than hide away until death found her eventually!!!!! she wanted some meaning in this life of hers that felt so helpless and doomed!!!!!!
one (or more) headcanon(s) i have about this character
She has a happy, fulfilling life. I genuinely believe this with all my heart and it gives me hope. The hills of Emyn Arnen are green like Rohan's, but the paths are lined with colourful flowers and fragrant herbs. She rides her horse, studies hard, brings her findings to Minas Tirith. She and Faramir sit together in the shade of a large tree, she drawing detailed sketches of healing plants and Faramir writing something that he keeps dramatically hiding every time she tries to look. They're both grinning.
one character i love seeing them interact with
FARAMIR. basic answer i know. also eomer!!! and merry π₯Ή
one character i wish they would interact with/interact with more
I've been meaning to write a fic about her and eomer post-war for a while actually! hopefully when i finish this re-read. just... there's so much to talk about that they haven't...talked about. at all. and sibling issues really get to me man
one (or more) headcanon(s) i have that involve them and one other character
1. She and Lothiriel get on great. She likes Arwen and they are friendly but they never really click, but that's ok.
2. When she and Faramir tell Merry that they're engaged and that Eowyn wants to learn about plants and healing, Merry almosts bursts with joy. He consults Sam, and they work together on a quick book with notes on plantcare etc. Merry adamantly sneaks in some rather unnecessary parts about pipeweed ("I love to smoke too, Mr Merry, but I don't think that's what the Lady Eowyn was after?" "It's important, Sam, I promise.") They leave plenty of pages blank at the end that can be filled in later.
