        Galadriel also has a pretty impressive list of horrors.

        • grandfather murdered by one of the gods before murder even was a thing
        • witnessed the massacre of her mother’s kin
        • cursed by the Valar
        • walked across the Helcaraxë
        • saw the rise and fall of the Noldorin kingdoms of Beleriand
        • escaped the sack of Menegroth
        • present in the War of Wrath and the following ruin of Beleriand
        • rules Eregion with Celeborn until Sauron’s attack destroys the realm, escapes to Lothlórien
        • daughter captured and tortured by orcs, leaves to the West heavily traumatized
        • high royalty born into literal paradise, ends up holding the last pieces of elven civilization in Middle-Earth together and ruling over a forest
