Legolas Greenleaf:
The son of the King of the Wood-elves, Legolas Greenleaf was
one of the Company of the Ring, and became close friends with Gimli.
He was one of the Grey Company on the Paths of the Dead, and was
present at the final battle of the War of the Ring in front of
the Black Gate. After the War of the Ring, Legolas brought many
elves to live in Ithilien. In the year 120 of the Fourth Age, after
the death of Aragorn, Legolas sailed from Dol Amroth into the West.
Some say that Gimli went with him.

Lúthien Tinúviel:
She was the daughter of King Thingol in the First Age of the Sun,
and met Beren within Doriath. She fell in love with him, and when
her father sent Beren on an impossible quest, to recover a Silmaril,
she escaped the imprisonment he had set her in and followed him.
Beren succeeded in the quest though he lost a hand, and the Silmaril
it contained to the greatest of the Werewolves. When the werewolf
was later killed, Beren was mortally wounded, though he lived long
enough to place the Silmaril in Thingol's hand, he died. Lúthien
chose to follow Beren from Middle-Earth, and her song to Mandos
had enough power to move him to pity, something that had never
happened before or since. Lúthien and Beren were granted
a second mortal life, and eventually died and passed from the circles
of the World. She was often called Lúthien Tinúviel.
