It is most beautiful of the house of Finwë; its hair has a gilded glare interfered money, which recalled to all the light Arbres of Valinor, Laurelin and Telperion. She is regarded as one of largest Eldar, with Fëanor and Lúthien. In unfinished Tales and legends, Tolkien declares that with the Third Age, it was one of the most dangerous people for Sauron.

As the habit at Eldar wanted it, it accepted a name of her father: Artanis , “noble lady”, as well as a name of his/her mother, Nerwen , “young girl-man”; but most beautiful of its names was the nickname ( epessë ) that her husband Celeborn gave him: Alatāriellë (in Telerin), which gave Altariel in Quenya and Galadriel in Sindarin. These three names mean all “ Young girl crowned of a radiant garland ”.
