"Her name means 'daughter of Mirkwood' and, beyond that, we must leave you guessing!"
The "Itaril" thread contains an extended -- and likely, ongoing -- treatment of Murkwood Mary Sue ("Murky," for short) rebranded this time around as "Taruiel," which means "Daughter of a pejorative name that Men gave to Greenwood Forest starting in the year 1050 of the Third Age" (or something like that). For Peter Jackson and Company, Arwen at Helms Deep will never die. They just can't let go of a really bad idea once it takes hold of them.
