right - tolkien wasn't foolish enough to make her she-woman, but i didn't realize she was that magically powerful. I thought there were the high elves, and then the tier below (half elves?) where Galadrial and Elrond existed.

...and as far as the events themselves, were there that many major happenings that she participated in?

I guess where I'm going with this is whether or not Galadrial deserves to be held in the same regard as Elrond, who fought in battles and was a badass, Feonor, who was a badass, Gil-Galadwho was a badass. I'm not trying to diminish her character, i just didn't realize that she had the same level of accomplishment as the others.

galadriel is a high elf. “Galadriel..is the last remaining of the great among the high elves” -J.R.R Tolkien letters 144

as far as i know she never actively battles anyone. her power is more inferred by other characters descriptions of her and tolkien himself, like, “Lady Galadrial....was of the Noldor and remembered the day before days in Valinor, and she was the mightiest and fairest of all the elves that remained in middle earth.” -The Silmarillion

but she's definitely pivotal for many events, for example she's the one who established the white council and is the one who rescues gandalf / heals him / dresses him in white.

Thanks.

So - she’s an implied badass…. But whatever Amazon story is made about her will be grossly embellished to make up the story about a strong waman, also leaving some actual stories on the table because we can’t make a strong male. That about sum it up?
