I agree with Lady of Light about the books... but I can't really decide. Using both the books and the movies as references, I'll state my indecision:<P>Arwen is Aragorn's driving force. She loves him completely and without reservation, and is willing to give up her immortality, her father, and her people just to be with Aragorn.<P>Eowyn is a fighter. She's down-to-earth, smart, courageous... she <I>does</I> stuff, whereas Arwen sits around looking pretty (in the books, mind you). Plus she gets more screen and page time with Aragorn, whereas Arwen has a paragraph devoted to her in FotR('whoop-dee-do'). I also agree with Manardariel in that Eowyn would always feel like she was battling Arwen's memory.<P>See my plight? How could I ever decide for poor Aragorn?
