My focus this upcoming year is to look at all the pointed ears in all media and either finding an ear of ours that matches, or maybe even making a new one!
The start is with Galadriel from Rings of Power. Head over to the article and see what our choice is!
Galadriel in The Rings of Power is portrayed at a far earlier point in her long life, when she is still a warrior, a commander, and a relentless seeker of truth. Instead of the serene Lady of Lothlorien, this version of Galadriel is driven by a fierce determination to hunt the lingering evil left behind by Morgoth. Her journey begins in the frozen wastes of the far north and carries her through political tension in Lindon, ancient alliances with dwarves, and the rising shadow in the Southlands.
Visually, she embodies the sharp elegance of the Noldor. Her armor is light and functional, her hair unbound and windswept, and her expressions carry a blend of resolve and grief. The show presents a more grounded look for elven warriors, with subtle but defined pointed ears, clean lines, and minimal ornamentation. For cosplayers, this version of Galadriel combines a classic elven silhouette with a practical, almost ranger-like aesthetic.
Galadriel’s arc in the series centers on perseverance, leadership, and the struggle to balance hope with suspicion as she comes face to face with the forces that will eventually forge the Rings. This portrayal highlights her strength, her vulnerabilities, and the origins of her legendary wisdom, offering a fresh yet respectful interpretation of one of Tolkien’s most iconic characters.
