She did not take part in the Kinslaying

Certainly she did not, in all versions of her story. However, it is made more clear in the UT that she and Fëanor were in all ways opposite and that she actively opposed him at Alqualondë (perhaps aiding the Teleri in fighting Fëanor's forces off, as I seem to recall in one telling--sorry for the vagueness!), as contrasted to the less clarified version of her story in the Silmarillion that told of her desire to rule her own realm and to cross to Middle Earth and thus her classing as part of the rebellious group of Noldor (although not in sympathy with the aims of the Fëanorians--more independent in that respect).

Cheers,
Lyta

Question- What exactly were the differences between the Children of Valar and those of Iluvatar?

the only children of the Valar that i know of are the Dwarves, made by Aule.

that is something i wished JRRT could have had more time to elaborate on. The relationship her and Feanor had. The gift to Gimli that was refused to Feanor thousands of years prior - i loved that idea.

I dont remember reading anything about her defending the Teleri at the kinslaying. But she did leave for ME (via boat?) not with the rebellious Noldor, but after the Ban. Hence her indirect invlovement with the Doom of the Noldor.
