Harmadkor 241-ben született és (Halhatatlan volt.) Negyedkor 121 (2901 évesen) halt meg. Féltünde, aki az emberek életét választotta.

Szülei: Elrond és Celebrían.
Rokonsága: Idősebb testvérei, Elladan és Elrohir ikrek.
Apai ágon Eärendil, a tengerész (a második fétünde) unokája, Tuor és Gondolin dédunokája, így az ősi Hador-ház közvetlen leszármazottja.
Dédnagyanyján, Idrilen keresztül leszármazottja Turgon királynak és Noldornak is. Anyai ágon Galadriel úrnő unokája és Finarfin dédunokája.
Mindkét szülején keresztül leszármazottja az ősi Finwë- tündeháznak. Továbbá Arwen leszármazottja Berennek és Lúthien Tinúvielnek, akik szerelmi története hasonló az ő és Aragorn szerelméhez. Arwent sok hasonlóságuk miatt Lúthien újbóli előtűnésének tartották, akit mindig is, mint legszebb tündét tartották számon. Nevének jelentése Fülemüle (Nightingale=Tinúviel).
Arwen távoli rokona férjének, Aragornnak is. Aragorn elődje Elros Tar-Minyatur, Númenor első királya, Arwen apjának, Elrondnak a bátyja, aki az emberi életet választotta, semmint, hogy tünde lenne. Elros a Másodkor 442. évében halt meg, 3240 évvel Arwen születése előtt, ki november 28.-án született.

Egyéb nevei: Arwen ("Evenstar") Undomiel, Undómiel (Esticsillag) , Az Újraegyesült Királyság királynéja .

Az Arwen név sindarin nyelven nemes szüzet jelent (’ar’=nemes (angolul: noble), ’wen’=szűz (angolul: maiden)). A második neve, vagy epessëje, az Undómiel quenya nyelven alkonyi csillagot jelent (’undómë’=alkonyat (angolul:dusk), ’él’=csillag (angolul: star)). Az angol műben Arwen Evenstarnak (evening star=esti csillag) hívják.
 
Elrond lánya, és Galadrielnek, az Aranyerdő úrnőjének unokája, a világ legszebb lányának tartják. Ezeréves. Számtalan bölcsesség és tündetan ismerője. Mégis egy halandóba, Aragornba szeret bele. Lothlórien tündéi nevelték. Amikor visszatért apjához, akkor találkozott Aragornnal. Lúthienhez hasonlóan Ő is feladta halhatatlan jövőjét és Aragorn halandó asszonya lett.
 

Arwen Undomiel was the Half-Elven daughter of Elrond. In the common tongue of Middle-earth, Westron, she was known as Arwen Evenstar. In marrying Aragorn II Elessar after the War of the Ring she became Queen of the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor, and like Beren and Lúthien before her she united Elf and Man in peaceful love and harmony, and became mortal.

Arwen was the youngest child of Elrond and Celebrían; her elder brothers were the twins Elladan and Elrohir. Through her father, she was the granddaughter of Eärendil the Mariner (the second of the Half-Elven), great-granddaughter of Tuor of Gondolin, and therefore a direct descendant of the ancient House of Hador. Arwen was also a descendant of King Turgon of the Noldor through her great-grandmother, Idril. Through her mother, she was the granddaughter of Lady Galadriel and the great-granddaughter of Finarfin. Éomer of Rohan said that the Lady Arwen was more fair than the Lady Galadriel of Lórien, but Gimli son of Glóin thought differently. Through both of her parents Arwen was a direct descendant of the ancient Elven House of Finwë. Furthermore, Arwen was a descendant of Beren and Lúthien Tinúviel, whose story resembled hers. Indeed, Arwen was held to be the reappearance in likeness of her ancestress Lúthien, fairest of all the Elves, who was called Nightingale (Tinúviel).

Arwen was a very distant relative of her husband Aragorn. Aragorn's ancestor, Elros Tar-Minyatur, the first King of Númenor, was her father Elrond's brother, who chose to live as a man rather than one of the Eldar. Elros died in SA 442, some 3240 years before Arwen was born.

Arwen eventually became Queen of the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor when she married Aragorn, who was of the line of the Kings of Arnor.

After the War of the Ring ended, Arwen and Aragorn produced the future heir of the throne, Eldarion.

By Arwen and Aragorn's marriage, the long-sundered lines of the Half-elven were joined. Their union also served to unite and preserve the bloodlines of the Three Kings of the High Elves (Ingwë, Finwë, and the brothers Olwë and Elwë) as well as the only line with Maiarin blood through Arwen's great-great-great grandmother, Melian, Queen of Doriath, and also on Aragorn's side, through the line of kings of Arnor and Númenor to Elros, Elrond's brother, whose great-great-grandmother was also Melian.
 
Aragorn és Arwen
 
During Aragorn's twentieth year he met Arwen for the first time in Rivendell, where he lived under Elrond's protection. Arwen, then over 2700 years old, had recently returned to her father's home after living for a while with her grandmother Galadriel in Lórien. Aragorn fell in love with Arwen at first sight, and at first mistook her for Lúthien, thinking he had fallen into a dream.

About thirty years later the two were reunited in Lórien, where Arwen reciprocated Aragorn's love and they "plighted their troth" (promised themselves to each other) on the mound of Cerin Amroth, choosing to become mortal and to stay in Middle-earth with Aragorn, and giving up the chance to sail over the sea and live forever in the Blessed Realm. Arwen never broke faith with Aragorn, even when he went to war. While the War in the South raged on, Arwen wove a banner for Aragorn, which would become his standard after he became king.

Before taking the Paths of the Dead, Aragorn was met by a group consisting of Dúnedain, and Arwen's brothers, Elladan and Elrohir. They brought to him a banner of black cloth: a gift made by Arwen, and a sign that encouraged him to take the difficult path. When the banner was unfurled at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields to reveal the emblem of Elendil in Mithril, gems, and gold, it was the first triumphant announcement of the King's return.

Arwen arrived at Minas Tirith after Aragorn had become King of Gondor and Arnor, and they married on Midsummer's Day in the year TA 3019, after the end of the War of the Ring. She became Queen of the Reunited Kingdoms of Arnor and Gondor. After marrying Aragorn, she bestowed upon Frodo Baggins a gift: Her place on the ships to Valinor. She bore Aragorn's son, Eldarion, and several unnamed daughters, some time during the Fourth Age.

In the year 121 of the Fourth Age, Arwen died of a broken heart at Cerin Amroth in Lórien,[1] and was buried there one year after the death of Aragorn, to whom she had been wedded for 122 years. She was 2901 years old.
 
Hadhafang
 
 
In The Lord of the Rings Hadhafang is a sword used by Arwen. The sword and its history are not part of the original story, but were invented for the movies. In the books, Arwen is never seen in combat. Since her character was given an action scene in the movie version, it was deemed necessary to give her a weapon and to provide the weapon with a back story like many of the fictional weapons described in the original novel. According to the movie trilogy's official publicity material, Hadhafang (whose name is a newly-coined Sindarin word meaning "throng-cleaver"), once belonged to the Elven Princess Idril, who wed a mortal man (Tuor) and bore Eärendil, the father of Elrond, who in turn was father to Arwen. Before Arwen's birth, Elrond wielded Hadhafang at the end of the second age of Middle-earth, during the Last Alliance of Elves and Men in the great battle against Sauron on the slopes of Mount Doom.

Later his daughter, Arwen, used Hadhafang when she aided Frodo in his escape from the Ringwraiths. Inscribed on the blade are Cirth (runes) in Sindarin that say, "Aen estar Hadhafang i chathol hen, thand arod dan i thang an i arwen." Which transfers to "this blade is called Hadhafang, a noble defense against the enemy throng for a noble lady." (In Sindarin "Arwen" actually means "noble (or royal) woman").

Like all of the props used in the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, Hadhafang was manufactured by Weta Workshop.
