Few female elves will get as much character development as Nerdanel (at least in this season). She is a skilled sculptor, has an adventurous spirit and enjoys exploring Valinor, and has the unique distinction of being the only person who could ever change Fëanor's mind. They have a loving marriage (and 7 sons), but as time goes on, they grow more distant from one another. Fëanor is no longer willing to listen to her advice, and she's no longer willing to go along with his crazy ideas. She is not noted for being particularly pretty, but is rather plain for an elf. She is called 'Nerdanel the Wise'.
Physically strong, and with the strength of character to stand up to her strong-willed husband, Nerdanel is tough as nails and quite grounded. Her father and 3 of her 7 sons have red hair. She is either red-headed herself, or brown-haired with red highlights. Some of the Noldor have remarked that Fëanor did not choose her for her looks, but we are only talking 'Hollywood plain' here.

To be honest, I'm not sure if she has quite the right look for this character, but I do feel like she can pull off the proper level of no nonsense inner strength that this character needs. She's doesn't come across as someone who's afraid to speak up...and she's tall enough to get in Fëanor's face (no petite little pixie). Oh, and she looks good in red! She was Elijah Wood's love interest in Deep Impact, and she also was nominated for an Emmy for playing Joan of Arc. Most recently, she was in The Last Film Festival (2016), and she has done some TV work. In real life, she is a mom of 2 who enjoys ceramics.
