Finduilas
Grace under impossible conditions
Grace surviving beneath impossible light.
Finduilas functions as an emotional threshold within the cycle: she embodies the ordered beauty of a world Turin can enter but never truly inhabit. Her presence gives tenderness a ceremonial brightness without ever making it safe.
