++Galadriel. I've always had a thing for older women.

Hmmm...tough one.
I like both characters, but Luthien was hotter  . The girl's got guts and glamor, glorious! ++Luthien

What kind of question is this? A whimsical girl who achieved most of her great deeds with her looks, or a strong-willed woman who achieved her success with her wisdom?
++Galadriel And furthermore, I must say that for me, her story is more touching and more sad than Lúthien's. Aieeeeeeeeeeeee I kind of hope Galadriel doesn't get through, though. Because, otherwise I have to start choosing between her, Maedhros and Gandalf, my three favourites, which is going to kill me... And there's Boromir too? I'm just glad we don't have Finrod, Haleth, Théoden or Gildor here and that Merry didn't make it through the first round...

++Galadriel.
In the case of which was more gorgeous, Galadriel certainly had more admirers. But this shouldn't be about that - and Galadriel made much more use of not only her looks but her talents. Nor was she embroiled in a quest ostensibly just to get her dad to accept her punk boyfriend, she was nation-building. And the way she handles her many admirers is impressive. She's Goddess-like.

No question. Just looking at her motives and Lúthien's for doing their great deeds, so to say. Besides, Lúthien's story is lovely but her personality is too much the basic beautiful, mysterious and gentle-hearted woman that tends to annoy me.

Lúthien is in conception more like an Elf in a traditional sense: a youthful, magical creature dancing in a forest glade, beautiful and illusive; you call out and *poff* she's gone. The story of Beren and Lúthien is also more like a traditional fairy-tale I suppose which doesn't fit seamlessly into the more serious Silmarillion. I really enjoyed the story in Lost Tales (those cats were well cool) and Lúthien is at her best here. This is a vote for Tinúviel:
++Lúthien
