SFW Alphabet: Éowyn

a/n: this was my first time ever writing for her and it was very challenging and fun! it was requested, I hope I did okay - do let me know if you liked it, and consider reblogging so more people can see it 💛💛💛 (how beautiful is she in this gif??)

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?) Initially she isn’t the most affectionate person you’ve ever met, but gradually that changes as she gets more comfortable around you and lets her guard down more. She’s a sucker for hugs especially, but she prefers to shower you with affection in privacy, behind closed doors. Her hugs are so lovely, and she will also use any opportunity to pepper your face with kisses!

For the sensory headcanons, 3, 8, and 13 for Éowyn!

Thank you so much for these lovely prompts— I always appreciate the asks you send for these games and enjoy answering them so much!

3. Their favourite kind of view:

I think Éowyn delights in many landscapes and would probably have trouble picking just one sort of view that she loves; I imagine that her upbringing in the Riddermark makes her partial to those grasslands that unfold beneath wide open sky, and as I explored in my most recent WIP chapter, I think she also found great comfort and beauty in looking up at the high peaks of the White Mountains when she was living in Meduseld. That said, I think as she moves into her new life in the fourth age, Éowyn finds joy in all manner of new landscapes too: the light-filled woodlands and cool glens of Ithilien; her gardens at Emyn Arnen in the height of summer, overflowing with colorful flowers and textured greenery; the sight of the Anduin gleaming like copper in the sunset as it flows to the sea. I also imagine that Éowyn seizes opportunities to travel and fill her life with new places and experiences, after spending so many years yearning to escape from the confines of her role in the Golden Hall. She probably travels with Faramir to Dol Amroth and is astounded by the sight of the endless blue sea, and maybe also at some point she goes to the Shire, and after spending most of her life in the drier more rain-shadowed east, she is surprised by how the northwest of Middle Earth can contain so much green. So, that is quite a long answer, but I think the distillation of that is that Éowyn loves quite a number of different views, so long as they are wild and open, and filled with life (all things that grow and are not barren).

8. Their favourite scents:

The smell of damp earth after a sudden rain, the scent of dewy leaves on a summer morning in her garden, the smell of leather in the tack room, and the lingering scent of fire smoke that remains on her clothes and hair after a night spent around a fire under the stars

13. Their ideal climate and weather:

I strongly headcanon Éowyn as woman of sunlight and summer; I have a whole forthcoming essay on seasonal imagery that Tolkien uses in her character arc, but the Tl;dr is that I think Éowyn’s “winter” was always destined to melt into spring and then blossom into summer as she recovers from her trauma and finds new life and hope after the war of the ring. Thus, I imagine that she is someone who delights in sunlight and warmth. Given where she grew up, I envision her loving a warm, dry afternoon wind that blows down the mountains and over the plains. As I’ve also mentioned in my little ficlet a few weeks back, I think that Éowyn loves thunderstorms (she is “a fool for thunder” as @torchwood-99 so aptly put in their prompt to me!); she loves to dance in the rain and feel the raw energy and emotion that comes with the wildness of a thunderstorm; she sees aspects of her own self and emotional experience reflected in that and it gives her an opportunity to really let go and enjoy something with abandon (an experience that was not often afforded to her). Thus, I think she thrives in the warm climate of Ithilien, so long as she occasionally gets to dance in a storm.

Alright, that got a bit long, but thank you SO much for this lovely, lovely set of asks!! These were truly a treat to reflect on and answer. <3

For the sensory ask meme, can I have 6, (Some of their favourite flavours or foods), and 2 (The colours they wear / look best in) for Eowyn?

Absolutely! I’d love to answer these.

6. Some of their favourite flavours or foods:

I imagine Éowyn to be rather adventurous with food and flavor, especially in the Fourth Age, I think she relishes trying new dishes, especially those from the Elves, the Shire, and from far-flung regions of Middle Earth. I think she would like spicy food and handles it well, and she takes secret pleasure in being able to tolerate spice better than those around her (namely, her brother). I think she prefers rich and savory foods over sweet, and I think she has a special fondness for pickled vegetables. (This headcanon comes from a fanfiction series I read a long, long time ago called ‘Blessed by the Valar’, which is not really about Éowyn at all, but there’s a subplot in there where she’s pregnant and is obsessed with eating brined vegetables, and that has really stuck with me and become assimilated into my personal headcanons about her).

2. The colours they wear / look best in:

Éowyn is the White Lady of Rohan (& later, Ithilien), and as such she does wear a lot of white, silver, and pale gold. The white reminds her of the bright and unyielding snows upon the crowns of the White Mountains, and of simbelmynë blossoms upon the barrow downs, and of bright-winged cranes, rising to meet the morning sun. She also favors silver, for it reminds her of the shimmering waters of the Snowbourn, and of moonlight; and gold evokes the gilded columns of Meduseld. Indeed, for jewelry, she almost exclusively chooses gold settings. Yet, unlike her first age White Lady counterpart (Aredhel), she also favors some other colors. Greens she wears also: grass-greens that match the standard of her homeland, and moss-greens that call to mind the leafy glades of Ithilien. She often pairs greens with practical browns, especially for active outdoor pursuits such as riding or walking in the woods. Finally, I think she also favors pale blues, for the remind her of the open sky. This particular headcanon about sky blue actually comes from a beautiful post made by Tumblr user liridi (account now deactivated, tragically); I loved that idea so much that I fully adopted that headcanon and want to share it here with proper attribution. Thank you for this lovely ask, this was very fun to answer! <3
