Basic Info
Name:Nerdanel the Wise
Bio
Nerdanel was the daughter of the Noldorin smith Mahtan and the wife of Fëanor.

She bore Fëanor seven sons: Maedhros, Maglor, Celegorm, Caranthir, Curufin, Amrod and Amras. Nerdanel, unlike her husband, was of a peaceful nature and sought to moderate his fiery temper and pride with wisdom. For a time, she was the only one able to influence him. Called "the Wise", Nerdanel refused to follow her husband to Middle-earth, and is apparently still living in Aman.

Nerdanel was a noted sculptor. She is said to have made statues so lifelike that people thought them real.

Nerdanel's family is interesting to fans of Tolkien's Elves, because they are the only attested examples of Elves with red hair. Nerdanel's father Mahtan and three of her sons (Maedhros, Amrod, and Amras) are described by Tolkien as having reddish-brown hair, and this is described as a trait "of Nerdanel's kin" — though not of Nerdanel herself, who had brown hair and a rosy complexion.
