Indis (Q, pron. [ˈindis]) was a Vanya, the second wife of Finwë.
History
She was probably the daughter of the sister of Ingwë, King of the Vanyar.[2]
After dying, Míriel Þerindë refused to be reinbodied or healed, leaving her husband Finwë in an unfair widowhood.
[Indis] had loved Finwë in her heart, ever since the days when the Vanyar and the Ñoldor lived close together. In one of his wanderings Finwë met her again upon the inner slopes of Oiolossë, [...] and her face was lit by the golden light of Laurelin that was shining in the plain of Ezellohar below. In that hour Finwë perceived in her eyes the love that had before been hidden from him. So it came to pass that Finwë and Indis desired to be wedded.[3]:334
With the Statute of Finwë and Míriel, Manwë allowed Finwë to take a second wife and Indis thus became the stepmother to Fëanor. With Indis, Finwë had two more sons, Fingolfin and Finarfin, and two daughters, Findis and Írimë. Fëanor observed the influence of Indis on Finwë, including his speech which started to resemble that of the Vanyar and considered it a disrespect against his mother.[3]:336
After the slaying of her husband, she, along with her eldest daughter Findis, returned to Valinor to live among her people, the Vanyar.
Etymology
Indis is Quenya for "Great or Valiant Woman",[2] but it is also glossed as "wife, bride".[4]
