Faniel

Faniel was a Ñoldorin Elf-maiden in earlier versions of J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium. She was the third daughter of Finwë, the High King of the Ñoldor and Indis; sister of Fingolfin, Finarfin, Findis and Írimë and half-sister of Fëanor.
==History==
Faniel was born during the Noontide of Valinor, probably in Tirion. Faniel apparently continued to dwell in Aman and did not join the Rebellion of the Ñoldor.The History of Middle-earth, Vol. X: Morgoth's Ring, Part Three: "The Later Quenta Silmarillion"The History of Middle-earth, Vol. XII: The Peoples of Middle-earth, chapter XI: "The Shibboleth of Fëanor"
