Nienna: Lady of Mercy

Description

This characters belongs to J.R.R Tolkien's world.

She is Nienna, the Lady of Mercy and she's a Vala (a goddess), Queen of pity.

She weeps constantly but her tears are those of healing and pity, not of sadness, and often have potency; for example, she watered the Two Trees with her tears, and later washed the filth of Ungoliant away from them once they were destroyed.

She was in favour of releasing Melkor after his sentence, not being able to see his evil nature.

(thanks wikipedia)

I think that Nienna is really wonderfull she isn't the typical pain goddes loam and furious, she's calm and pious.

I would say that none of Tolkein's gods and goddesses are typical. None of them embody the sexual deviancy, violent tempers or arrogance that are the make-up of the gods of Greek mythology. 
And that's what I love about his works, Tolkien instilled a sense of solid morality in them.
