The daughter of the elf Orodreth, Finduilas falls in love with Túrin when he arrives in Nargothrond. Though, by rescuing her when Nargothrond is sacked, Túrin could have avoided his fate of accidentally marrying his sister Nienor, Glaurung tricks him into abandoning her. When the orcs are attacked by the men of Brethil, they kill their captives rather than allowing them to be rescued, and Finduilas leaves a message for Túrin before she dies. She’s buried on the border of the forest.
