who's your favorite valar? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I have a few favorites, though they're a bit... oddly assorted. The first would be Lorien. I don't know why him, really, because he doesn't posess any qualities that really interest me, but I still like him, perhaps for his love of nature, though Yavanna has that too, and in a greater "quantity", and she doesn't seem as interesting to me. Another would be Mandos, just because death fascinates me (yes, I know that's morbid), and because I like dark-but-good characters in many books/stories. And Ulmo. He just interests me because of the way he is, living in the sea and not in Valinor, and all, and being interested in the fates of men... also, to some extent, Melkor, because of the evil in him, but not as much as the others I mentioned.
