MíRIEL

:''This article is about Míriel, queen of the Noldor. For the queen of Númenor of the same name, see: Míriel (Second Age)''
In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional Middle-earth, 'Míriel Þerindë' (=Míriel Byrde, the broideress) was the first wife of Finwë, King of the Noldor. Her son was Curufinwë, whom she called Fëanor, which means 'Spirit of Fire'. Míriel's hair was described as being silver in appearance, an unusual colour for one of the Noldor. In Vol. XII p.333, she is described as Finwë's first wife and a Noldorin Elda. However, her silver hair and beautiful voice are characteristic of the House of Elwë and the Teleri in general, suggesting that she could be Teler and only Noldor by marriage, or possibly one of her parents was of the House of Elwë.
After giving birth to Fëanor she wished to die, something which was impossible because, as an Elf, she was immortal within Arda. Instead her feä departed from her body, and she entered the halls of Mandos: in essence she had died of free will. This was seen as a shocking event by the Valar, and eventually led to the second marriage of Finwë, and from there to the Rebellion of the Noldor and the First Kinslaying.
