Out of all the golden-haired people that I thought of, only two kinda fit the lines: Eowyn and myself divided by 55.
Golden haired and golden hearted - well, they have golden hair, and I suppose, golden hearts...
Though I bore a different name - Dernhelm for Eowyn, or Nerwen for Galadriel
Strange my fate - they
are a bit unusual
but less exalted
Was I than those who fared the same - Eowyn's only title was "the King's niece" when she went to war, unlike Theoden (King), Eomer (3rd Marshal), and the leaders of the eoreds. You can even say that she was a plain solider and not even a commander of the lowest rank. As for Galadriel - she was the youngest daughter of the youngest sons of Finwe when the Noldor left Valinor for ME.
