Something like this:

Though no song sings of me
- unlike her descendants and e.g. her ancestral relative Haleth, she isn't renowned for any special deeds (that I can remember)
My blood held the only hope for the world
- she was Eärendil's great-grandmother
My people were staunch and proud
- can't find a special example for staunch off the top of my head, but their pride is shown e.g. in Haleths answer to Thingol
They refused the offer of the Dark one
- Caranthir's offer to let them settle in his land.

Could be one of her ancestors as well, I suppose, but going back in Eärendil's family tree she's the first of the Haladin to show up.

EDIT: If it was Húor, I think he would call the House of Hador his people, not the Haladin, wouldn't he?

PS. sally, my dear young lady, you have quite a nerve to call me 'lad'. But thanks anyway!
