"What happened to Éowyn?" indeed! This is the question that Theoden King would ask constantly as she galloped happily through the fields of Rohan, bringing home orc heads, practicing her swordsmanship on the local peasants, and learning to spit accurately.
"She takes after Éomund, dear", said his long-suffering wife, Elfhild.
Sadly, Éowyn came to a poor end because of her "un-maidenly" ways. Once the novelty of being married to a shield-maiden wore off, Faramir soon tired of the the headstrong Éowyn and shipped her off to the Sisters of Varda convent, kicking and screaming.
She didn't last long there.

Whatever DID happen to that Oliphaunt?
