Galadriel (played by Cate Blanchett) was very tall and the greatest beauty of the house of Finwe; she had the golden hair of her mother's kindred.
Galadriel is a Noldorin princess, the daughter of Finarfin. She was the co-ruler and Lady of Lothlórien along with her husband, Lord Celeborn. Neither she nor Celeborn took royal titles as they saw themselves as guardians of Lothlorien. Galadriel was the only daughter and youngest child of Finarfin, prince of the Ñoldor and of Eärwen, whose cousin was Lúthien. Her elder brothers were Finrod Felagund, Angrod, and Aegnor. Galadriel was a niece of Fëanor, one of the most important elves of the First Age.
In Middle-earth she dwealt with Finrod on Tol Sirion, but when her brother moved to Nargothrond, she went to Doriath, where she married Celeborn and was instructed in wisdom by Melian. She had one child, Celebrian. At the fall of Doriath she probably fled to Arvernien or the Mouths of Sirion. Galadriel was the only leader of the revolting Noldor to survive the Wars of Beleriand, and thus at the end of the First Age the ban of the Valar on her return to Valinor still remained.
