Varda
Varda Elentári is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. She appears in Tolkien's ''Silmarillion'' as an Archangelic "Power" to whom the hymn A Elbereth Gilthoniel is directed.
==Character overview==
Varda was one of the Valar, a group of heavenly beings similar to Archangels. Also known as "Queen of the stars", she was said to be too beautiful for words; within her face radiated the light of Eru Ilúvatar, the "One All-Father" God. She resided with her husband Manwë, with whom she shared a complementary power. When they were together, Manwë "sees further than all other eyes, through mist, and through darkness, and over the leagues of the sea" and Varda "hears more clearly than all other ears the sound of voices that cry from east to west". Varda created the stars before the Valar descended into the world, and later with the dews from the vats of Telperion she made the constellations, most significantly the Valacirca, The Sickle of the Valar (The Big Dipper).
When the evil Vala Melkor first began to create his discord, Varda saw his true nature and rejected him. Melkor feared and hated Varda the most out of the Valar because he greatly desired to possess light, that which she created. He failed in this task, however.
