To be honest, I never saw much of anything in Arwen. I like her best in the movies when she took Frodo to Rivendell and called up the water horses that swept away the Nazgul, but she doesn't even do that in the books. She's fine, but she does so little.

Jumping in on the fan club!  
Who are your favorite characters, Annie? Have you seen the movies?

I have not seen the movies, I'm going to marathon them with my friend when I finish ROTK!
My favorite characters are:
Legolas
Gimli
Merry
Pippin
Aragorn

But I love all of them!

and Arwen

I like Arwen, but she doesn't do anything. (Where I am so far anyway) She has about one line in fellowship of the ring, but then she's only mentioned thus far. I do really like Éowyn though, her actions in ROTK are very admirable. Is Arwen important in the movie?

• In the first film, Arwen searches for Aragorn and single-handedly rescues Frodo Bagginsfrom the Black Riders at Bruinen, thwarting them with a sudden flood, summoned by an incantation. In the book, Glorfindel had been sent by Elrond to look for the Hobbits and finds them with Aragorn. Glorfindel put Frodo on his own horse and sent him alone across the river to flee the Black Riders, for Elrond had pre-arranged for the river to flood when the Nazgûl entered the water. During this flight Arwen wields the sword Hadhafang, which according to film merchandise was once wielded by her father and had belonged to his grandmother Idril Celebrindal.[5]
• In the film of The Two Towers, the injured Aragorn is revived by a dream of Arwen, who kisses him and asks the Valar to protect him.

In the film of The Return of the King, Arwen convinces her father to reforge the sword Narsil for Aragorn so that he can reclaim the throne of the King. Elrond initially refuses, but when Arwen begins to fall ill through her loss of immortality, he reluctantly agrees. Elrond takes Narsil, reforged as Andúril, to Aragorn at Dunharrow, and tells him that her fate has become bound to the One Ring, and that she is dying. The mechanics of this are inconsistent with the source material and are never explained in the film. In the extended version of The Return of the King, Sauron (through a palantír) shows Aragorn a dying Arwen in order to dissuade him from battle, though this fails and a relieved Aragorn reunites with Arwen at his coronation. The movies portray her as becoming human through her love for Aragorn; as in the book, Arwen follows the choice of her ancestor Lúthien to become a mortal woman for the love of a mortal man.

Wow, that's a lot!
