Findis was Ñoldor elf, the daughter of Finwë, the High King of the Ñoldor and Indis; sister of Fingolfin and Finarfin and half-sister of Fëanor.

BiographyEdit

Findis was the first child of Finwë and Indis, and Irimë was the third one. Little is known about them except that Findis stayed with Indis and Finarfin in Valinor, while Irimë went to Middle-earth with Fingolfin. Findis is a combination of her parents' names.

Findis apparently still dwells in Aman and didn't join the Revolt of the Ñoldor. She nor her sister appeared in the published Silmarillion.

Other versions of the legendariumEdit

In earlier versions of the legendarium, Finwë and Indis had three daughters Findis, Faniel and Finvain. It remains unclear if the third daughter survived in the final conception of Finwë's family tree.
