Technically, Arwen is Aragorn's aunt, but it's not as weird as it sounds (at least within the context of
Arwen was a distant relative of her husband Aragorn. Aragorn's ancestor, Elros Tar-Minyatur, the first King of Númenor, was her father Elrond's brother, who chose to live as a Man rather than as one of the Eldar.
The direct descendant of Elros is Aragorn. In terms of genealogy, Elros would be Aragorn's great grandfather with about 60 "greats." This makes Elrond Aragorn's great, great, etc. uncle, and since Arwen is the Lord of Rivendell's daughter, she and Aragorn are first cousins many times removed.
Are Aragorn and Arwen cousins? Yes. Aragorn is a direct descendant of Elrond's brother Elros, who chose mortality and became the first King of Numenor. So Aragorn and Arwen are first cousin approx.
If you go by the general definition, yes. It's the member of a monarch's family. Eowyn is the sister-daughter or niece of King Théoden which would make her a princess. Arwen is descendant of a couple of kings, most closely to Thingol and Turgon.
He considered making Éowyn the twin sister of Éomund, and having her die "to avenge or save Théoden". He also considered having Aragorn truly love Éowyn and regret never marrying after her death. Tolkien once described Éowyn as "a stern Amazon woman".
Technically, Arwen is Aragorn's aunt, but it's not as weird as it sounds (at least within the context of Middle Earth). The romance and marriage of Arwen and Aragorn are unique in a variety of ways.
Because Aragorn is mortal and Arwen chose to remain in Gondor and become mortal, their son, Eldarion, is mortal as well, despite his Elven lineage.
They are both elvish nobles, as Legolas is the son of King Thranduil and Arwen is the daughter of Elrond. They are both well-educated and would have known each other as the community of elves is quite small.
Arwen didn't want Aragorn to die, because if he died so would she. She said she wasn't tired of living yet. But instead, Aragorn chose to die and Arwen lived a year longer before dying herself.
Elrond Half-elven is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. Both of his parents, Eärendil and Elwing, were half-elven, having both Men and Elves as ancestors.
Aragorn and Boromir, unrelated by blood but united in their love of Gondor, were the only two men who set out with the Company from Rivendell.
"He was Aragorn son of Arathorn, the nine and thirtieth heir in the right line from Isildur, and yet more like Elendil than any before him." Aragorn was a descendant of Elros Tar-Minyatur.
At this point Arwen has already given up her immortality, but now she grants the grace of the Eldar to Frodo, not giving him immortality since he is not one of the elves, but instead granting him a home in the undying lands when he does pass.
When they meet, Arwen is thousands of years old with immortal beauty and he a young 20-something man. However, next time they meet, Aragorn is in his 50s. This was when Arwen fell in love with him, so his 30 years of maturing must have done some good. Aragorn eventually would live to be 210.
The logic is that Arwen chose to be mortal but she was not tied to Aragorn yet cos of the War. So since she had nothing to keep her alive, she was dying.
“You gave me a very special bow, and I look after it.” In related news, sources reveal that I “had such a crush” on Aragorn, son of Arathorn, called Elessar, the Elfstone, Dúnadan, the heir of Isildur Elendil's son of Gondor.
Legolas is the son of Thranduil, King of Mirkwood, and the grandson of Oropher, founder of the Woodland Realm.
Who does Legolas marry? - Quora. In J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" series, Legolas does not marry.
And after their marriage, both Aragorn and Arwen are mortal. Arwen, therefore, could not set foot in the Undying Lands without special permission. And she wouldn't be likely to go after it in the end. So unfortunately, she would not go there, unlike Legolas, after Aragorn's passing.
Because Arwen is Elrond's daughter and also Half-Elf, she too has the choice to be a mortal woman or an immortal Elf. In Arwen's mind, there is nothing that can separate her from Aragorn, as she would rather die happy with him than regret her decision to leave him for all of eternity.
Arwen was her granddaughter
Galadriel and Celeborn had a daughter named Celebrian, who married Elrond and became the mother of Arwen (as well as her brothers, Elladan and Elrohir).
Arwen. Galadriel's granddaughter and the daughter of Celebrían and Elrond. After the War of the Ring, Arwen marries Aragorn II Elessar and becomes Queen of the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor. Like other Half-Elves, Arwen has the birthright to choose either immortality among the Elves or mortality among Men.
Because she has both Elven and Human blood she has a choice. She dies eventually after mourning Aragorn for a long time. She leaves Minas Tirith and lives alone in fading Lothlorien for a while before dying. This is all detailed at the end of RotK, in the appendices.
Technically speaking, they are indeed cousins. He would be a mixture of elf and numenorian. Elrond would be his grandfather and was called halfelven, so Arwen was 3/4 and Aragorn was pure blooded Numenorian assuming his mother was as well.
