==Biography==
Lëa-vinya was the fairest of the maidens of Yavanna and, along with Estë the Pale, was considered the "highest of the Maiar", despite never partaking in the councils of the Valar. Lëa-vinya became espoused to the Vala Tulkas at a feast during the Spring of Arda. At this feast, she was also clothed with the first blooming flowers by Vána after dancing before the Valar.
