Andreth (Sindarin for patience, long-suffering), also known as Saelind meaning “Wise-heart”, is a wise-woman of the House of Beor, and beloved of Aegnor. Intelligent and passionate, she pushes for the House of Beor to relocate to Ladros, having seen the problems inherent in their closeted existence in Nargothrond (we have the House of Beor moving to Nargothrond instead of Estolad before going to Ladros).

For Andreth, we will need two actresses who look similar to portray her; one during her young adult years for the relocation to Ladros and the aborted romance with Aegnor, and another during her elder years during the Athrabeth (occurring concurrently with Fingolfin's Big Push) and the Dagor Bragollach. Andreth should be dark-haired like other members of the House of Bëor, with animated features. In the case of Kaya Scodelario, she's made a name for herself in films where she plays women with ideas ahead of her time and is unafraid to speak her mind. Karen Allen has also played scrappy, opinionated characters such as the embittered Marion Ravenwood in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Kaya Scodelario
Age: 29
Height: 5'6"
Roles: Catherine Earnshaw in Wuthering Heights (2011), Teresa in The Maze Runner, Carina Smyth/Carina Barbossa in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

Young Andreth: Felicity Jones IMDB
Older Andreth: Maribel Verdú IMDb
These two actresses would be very good both as a match and both of them as the two separate versions of the character. Verdú is Spanish, Jones is partly of Italian descent. They are about the same height.

For young Andreth, I would like to nominate

Olivia Thirlby
Age: 34
Height: 5'3"

She has Polish Jewish background on her mom's side. I don't know about the rest of her heritage, except to say she's from New York City. She is probably best known for her role as Leah in Juno (2007) and as blond action hero Anderson on Dredd (2012).

Here, she is playing lawyer Lucy Kittridge in 2016's Goliath:

Also, she grew up watching Star Trek and loved it, so she would probably be thrilled to have her older self played by....

Marina Sirtis
Age: 66
Height: 5'3"

...who is best known for playing the character Counselor Deanna Troi on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Sirtis is of Greek descent and is from London.

Marina Sirtis has stayed active in television, appearing on NCIS in 2013.

I think that Marina Sirtis would be a believable older version of Olivia Thirlby, and that both women would do a fantastic job embodying the character of Andreth.

EDIT: WAS CHOSEN; OK BY EXECS
