[Evisse the Blue]

I know this was not Tolkien's original intention but for me she resembles mostly Athena, goddess of wisdom in Greek mythology. Both are wise and practical, help others, have great powers. Sometimes they step aside from the right path, and when they do that, their pride is to blame. Also, they both share an air of androgynity, a firmness of character. Athena takes hers to the extreme because she never marries and is interested mainly in matters of wars and politics. Galadriel is slightly more feminine because she falls in love, bears children and has healing powers. But let's not forget her own powerful desire to rule and lead others.
