While there's no definitive proof they met before the War of the Ring in Tolkien's books, it's likely Legolas and Arwen knew of each other and perhaps met briefly, given their similar royal Elven status, but they weren't close friends, with their main interactions occurring during the Fellowship's journey and after the War, as Legolas became a close companion to Aragorn, Arwen's husband.
Legolas grew up in Mirkwood; Arwen grew up in Rivendel but also spent a good deal of time with Galadriel (her grandmother). They most certainly knew OF each other since Legolas was heir to the Mirkwood kingdom and Arwen was essentially “princess” of Rivendel, but that's probably about it.
By lingering behind, she chose mortality so she could rejoin him. She died a year after him of heartbreak if I recall correctly. She chose a mortal life to be with Aragorn, as such she could no longer travel to or set foot upon Valinor. Gimli, Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam were the only mortals ever granted passage to Valinor.
He is attracted to the non-canon elf-woman Tauriel. In the West End musical, The Lord of the Rings: The Musical, Legolas was portrayed by Michael Rouse.
The movie the Battle of Five Armies expanded on Tolkien's canon by saying that the white gems Thranduil wanted back from the dwarves were originally intended for her, but that she was captured and taken and tortured to death by Gundabad orcs before the order was completed.
He attacks the Orcs in rage, and is later confronted by Bolg. He saves Tauriel from being attacked by Bolg, but is mortally wounded during the fight. Kíli dies with Tauriel by his side. Bolg is eventually killed by Legolas while Azog is killed by Thorin himself avenging the brothers.
After the battle and Thorin's death, Thranduil took Orcrist, which was previously confiscated in Mirkwood, and laid it upon Thorin's tomb. The treasure was divided among Elves and Men, and Thranduil received the emeralds of Girion.
The relationship between Gandalf and Galadriel in Tolkien's world was based on deep respect, friendship, and spiritual connection, though there are no indications of a romantic relationship in the books or films.
Therefore it is feasible that he would have never actually had a wound before, especially as it took all that from Bolg to get the smallest nosebleed. Therefore seeing his own blood came as quite a shock. And demonstrated the violent nature of his foe to both Legolas and the audience.
Tolkien describes Aragorn and Arwen's courtship in starkly different terms than Jackson's trilogy. In the books, Aragorn's love for the Evenstar is discovered by her father who tells the young Numenorian that consent for the marriage will only be granted if he regains the throne of both Gondor and Arnor.
Tolkien's description of Gollum conforms to a Catholic – and Thomistic – account of envy, which is a “sadness of the soul”; and it is Gollum's unbearable sadness and his unquenchable desire for the one Ring that marks his character.
Elrond chose the fate of the Elves and therefore the choice was presented to his children. The reason why Eldarion and his sisters (the children of Aragorn and Arwen) were born mortal was because Arwen chose mortality and therefore that fate was passed on to the rest of their line.
Arwen: And to that I hold. I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.
He can't simply leave Galadriel to her fate, though. So, we must intuit that Elrond kissed Galadriel in order to distract Adar and the Uruk (who were so shocked that two characters who have no business kissing were kissing they forgot to pay attention) from the rest of what he was doing.
Because the name Aragorn son of Arathorn and Gimli son of Gloin wouldn't necessarily mean anything to them. Thranduil is a King and his name is known to them. At the time, they were unsure if Rohan had fallen under the shadow so he did not name who Leogolas' father was otherwise the would capture him for ransom.
Tolkien's Legolas is extremely introverted. He just doesn't have much to say directly to anyone, perhaps because he's thousands of years old. His odd relationship with Gimli draws him out in a way the hobbits never do, and that's mostly after Frodo and Sam leave the Fellowship.
Probably a magical Elvish quiver that keeps refilling. Eru Iluvatar blessed him with the Quiver of Infinite Arrows. Just look at his inventory page. He has a magic quiver of holding.
The character of Tauriel was created for the films, having no equivalent character in the original novel.
In the late First Age, Finrod and Galadriel came to Doriath as guests of Thingol. There, Celeborn and Galadriel met, fell in love, and were soon betrothed. Galadriel remained in Doriath with Celeborn after Finrod went to the Caverns of Narog to establish the stronghold of Nargothrond.
She was a royal Elf of both the Noldor and the Teleri, being a grandchild of both King Finwë and King Olwë. She was also close kin of King Ingwë of the Vanyar through her grandmother Indis. Galadriel was a leader during the rebellion of the Noldor, and present in their flight from Valinor during the First Age.
It was an intentional call-back to the scene when Frodo offered her The Ring, and she went into her power / rage mode, telling Frodo if he gave her the ring, he would basically just be trading one evil boss (Sauron) for another (her as super evil witch queen).
Answer and Explanation:
There are three Elven rings of power, and they are worn by Elrond, Galadriel, and Cirdan. All three are powerful rulers in the Elven Kingdom. Thranduil, as the King of the Woodland Realm, is not considered important enough to possess a ring.
“Thranduil developed feelings over 2 years (12 in human) into their marriage but she 'rejected his love for her' and ran away while he was at war, leaving infant Legolas alone, and that when Thranduil found out he finished the war and quickly returned home, and ordered her to be found, but she was captured and tortured ...
At that time, Círdan would abandon the Grey Havens and finally travel the Straight Road himself. After an unknown length of time in the Fourth Age, he sailed west aboard the last ship with the last High Elves, taking with him the last memory of the Elder Days in Middle-earth.
