I would imagine that it was several generations of her kids past before she returned to the ruins of Lorien to pass herself.

Dec 13, 2012 at 21:14 comment added user56 @Slytherincess Apart from one short paragraph, my answer is entirely about the book and other writings by Tolkien. You don't get to see much of her in the book (save for the appendix), she's not so much insipid as a minor character (do you object to Rose, too?). There is definitely more to the woman, but you have to go outside LOTR to find it.
Dec 13, 2012 at 3:38 comment added Slytherincess I thought I was clear that I was talking mainly about the movie version of Arwen and was asking for clarification on the book version of Arwen. My perception of Arwen in the movies is that her purpose in life is to love Aragorn, so I was asking, hey, is there anything more to this woman? I would hope there is, actually. I don't particularly like insipid characters.
