She is a character original to the films, and no equivalent character appears in the original novel. She first appears in the second part of the trilogy, ''The Desolation of Smaug'', released December 13, 2013.〔Rottenberg, Josh (June 5, 2013). ("First look: Evangeline Lilly's elf warrior in 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug' -- EXCLUSIVE" ). ''Entertainment Weekly''.〕 Prior to the decision to have three films instead of two, Tauriel was described as having a more substantial role in what was then the final film, ''The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies'', which had been planned for release in 2013,〔("Evangeline Lilly on Her ''Hobbit'' Character Tauriel" ). ComingSoon.net. January 25, 2012〕 but was finalized as the third part of the trilogy, which was released in December 2014. In ''The Desolation of Smaug'', the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, and thirteen dwarves, while traveling to Lonely Mountain, pass through the black forest of Mirkwood, where they are attacked and captured by giant spiders. The spiders are then attacked by the Wood Elves, led by Legolas and Tauriel. Tauriel in particular saves Kíli by killing a spider that was attacking him, but the Elves subsequently take the dwarves as prisoners for trespassing on their land. It is later mentioned that Tauriel is a talented warrior and was therefore made leader of the Mirkwood border guards. Legolas, the son of Mirkwood's Elven king Thranduil, is indicated to be attracted to her, but as she is a lowly Silvan Elf, she does not believe herself worthy of him. Thranduil, in fact, makes it clear that he does not consider her to be a suitable match for his son and warns her not to give Legolas false hope. During the dwarves' imprisonment, Tauriel forms a romantic bond with Kili. When the dwarves escape with Bilbo's help, the pursuing Elves are attacked by orcs, during which Tauriel again uses her fighting skills to save Kili, though Kili is struck in the leg with an orc's arrow, which Tauriel later learns from a captured orc is a Morgul-cursed weapon and that it will slowly kill Kili. Just before Thranduil seals off his kingdom upon learning that an evil entity has returned and is amassing great power in the south, Tauriel goes after the dwarves by herself. Legolas follows, and initially tries to convince her to return, but when Tauriel refuses, saying that the Elves are part of Middle Earth and that the impending war must eventually involve them, Legolas joins her pursuit. After acquiring provisions at Esgaroth, the dwarves leave for the Lonely Mountain, but leave Kili, Fili, Bofur and Óin behind due to Kili's injury. By the time Tauriel and Legolas reach Esgaroth, the dwarves are being attacked by orcs. They repel the invaders, and Tauriel uses her knowledge of herbs and elvish medicine to heal Kili's wound, saving his life once again. In ''The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies'', during Smaug's attack on Esgaroth, Tauriel and four of the dwarves, Fili, Kili, Bofur and Oin, facilitate the evacuation of Bard's family, though Bain soon leaves their company to aid his father against the dragon. The following morning, as the survivors of Esgaroth try to salvage the remains of their possessions and their scattered numbers, Kili and Tauriel are reluctantly forced to part as the dwarves set out for Erebor to rejoin their company. Soon afterwards, Tauriel is rejoined by Legolas, who has returned from his fruitless pursuit of Bolg. When a messenger from Thranduil arrives to announce her banishment from the Mirkwood Realm for going against his orders, she joins Legolas in investigating the old fortress Gundabad, where they witness the departure an army led by Bolg to join the forces of his father Azog marching against Erebor. Hurrying towards the mountain, the two Elves arrive in the thick of the Battle of the Five Armies. When Tauriel witnesses Thranduil attempting to leave the battlefield, with the intend of sparing his people further bloodshed, she confronts him with her bow and a nocked arrow, refusing to abandon Kili to death. Thranduil, dismissing the depth of her feelings for Kili, destroys her bow, though he spares her life despite her defiance. Learning that Kili had joined Thorin's pursuit of Azog, she and Legolas hurry to Azog's command post, the Ravenhill, to aid the dwarves. Running to find Kili, Tauriel is intercepted and brought to her knees by Bolg. Before the Orc can strike the fatal blow, however, Kili intervenes on her behalf, and Bolg kills him instead. In retaliation, Tauriel tackles Bolg, throwing him and herself off a ruined platform onto the rocks beneath, thus leading to Bolg's final battle with Legolas, who kills Bolg. Following the resolution of the battle, Thranduil finds Tauriel weeping over Kili's body, finally acknowledging that her feelings for the young dwarf were genuine. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tauriel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
