Arwen ✨🌿
arwen ✨💜
Arwen is 150% a dog person. She turns into a cooing mess at the sight of puppies and has an almost supernatural ability to turn the most guarded and nervous hound into a ball of tail-wagging and doggy kisses.
She’s always wanted her own doggo. When she was a tiny elfling she believed wholeheartedly that when she had a dog of her own, it would talk to her and protect her, just like Huan spoke to her foremother.
After she marries Aragorn, he gifts with her very own Gondorian Shepherd (a loyal, beautiful breed rumoured to be descended from Huan), and they bond instantly – Arwen names her Todaphel, an old Adûnaic name meaning guard-daughter, in honour of her husband’s ancestry.
Todaphel definitely protects Arwen, but she never speaks, of course. But the Queen of the Reunited Kingdoms finds that it doesn’t matter – Arwen can understand everything Todaphel tells her, and Todaphel always knows what her mistress is saying. Words aren’t needed at all.
