Their sister was Aredhel the White. She was younger in the years of the Eldar than her brothers; and when she was grown to full stature and beauty she was tall and strong, and loved much to ride and hunt in the forests. […] Tononewasherheart’slovegiven

[ID: A six-picture edit for Aredhel, focussing on her relationship with various figures in her life. The edit is mostly in shades of green, and on every second image there are five smaller images in the colours of the aromantic pride flag (two shades of green, white, grey, and black). Here’s what the images show (Top to bottom, left to right)

1. The first image focuses on Aredhel and her relationship with Anaire. The central image is the south-sudanese model Adut Akech, a woman with dark brown skin and black hair, here worn in braids, dressed in a green gown. There’s a text overlay, reading “Aredhel & Anaire”. The five smaller images show green gems, a green butterfly, a lacy white veil, a wooded hill with a sun rising behind it making the top gleam, A black woman holding a baby.
2. This image is about Aredhel’s relationship with Turgon. Text reading “Turgon” and “I am your sister and not your servant, and beyond your bounds I will go as seems good to me” is set over an image of a mountain range.
3. Image three is for Aredhel’s relationship to Maeglin. An image of a forest features text reading “Maeglin” and “Then Aredhel was glad, and looked with pride upon her son”.
4. The fourth image focuses on Aredhel and Idril, the central image showing Adut Akech, with short hair and in a green dress, holding a chlid. The text reads “Aredhel & Idril”, and the smaller images show a statue of a crying girl, a forested plain with mountains in the distance, a woman in a white dress running up steps, a fountain, a black woman braiding a little girl’s hair.
5. This image is about Arehdel and Galadriel. The center image is one of Adut Akech wearing a green coat with detailed embroidery and a hat with a tulle veil, the text over it reads “Aredhel & Galadriel”. The smaller images show water lilies, a green gown with golden detailing, three horses, slices of lemon with little blossoms around them, a black woman with golden makeup and a halo-like crown.
6. The last image is for the relationship between Aredhel and Celegorm. It shows text reading “Celegorm” and “She was often in the company of the sons of Feanor, her kin” over a picture of someone shooting an arrow while riding a horse.
