Like her brothers she was born in [[Lonely Mountain]] and was driven into exile in {{TA|2770}} when the [[Dragons|dragon]] [[Smaug]] sacked the kingdom. She was the mother of [[Fíli]] and [[Kíli]]<br /> <br /> Female Dwarves were rarely seen, making up about a third of the population of Dwarves, and were seldom seen by others. When they were seen, they were often mistaken for male dwarves, because (according to rumour) they too had beards.&lt;ref&gt;{{App|Durin}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> <br /> [[Jim Allan]] has suggested that ''Dís'' is derived from [[Old Norse]] ''-dís'' (&quot;sister&quot;) found in many Nordic names (such as ''Herdís'', ''Hjördís'', etc).&lt;ref&gt;[[Jim Allan]], &quot;Giving of Names&quot;, in ''[[An Introduction to Elvish]]'', p. 225&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Genealogy==<br /> {{familytree/start}}<br /> {{familytree | | | | | | | | | DAI | | | | | | |DAI=[[Dáin I]]}}<br /> {{familytree | | | | | |,|-|-|-|+|-|-|-|-|-|.| |}}<br /> {{familytree | | | | | THR | | FRO | | | | GRO |THR=[[Thrór]]|FRO=[[Frór]]|GRO=[[Grór]]}}<br /> {{familytree | | | | | |!| | | | | | | | | |!| |}}<br /> {{familytree | | | | | THN | | | | | | | | NAI |THN=[[Thráin II]]|NAI=[[Náin son of Grór|Náin]]}}<br /> {{familytree | |,|-|-|-|+|-|-|-|.| | | | | |!| |}}<br /> {{familytree | THO | | FRE | | DIS | | | | DII |THO=[[Thorin]]|FRE=[[Frerin]]|DIS='''DÍS'''|DII=[[Dáin Ironfoot|Dáin Ironfoot]]}}<br /> {{familytree | | | | | | | |,|-|^|-|.| | | |!| |}}<br /> {{familytree | | | | | | | FIL | | KIL | | TH3 |FIL=[[Fíli]]|KIL=[[Kíli]]|TH3=[[Thorin Stonehelm|Thorin III Stonehelm]] }}<br /> {{familytree/end}}<br /> <br /> {{references}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Dwarves]]<br /> [[Category:Longbeards]]<br /> [[de:Dís]]<br /> [[fr:encyclo:personnages:nains:3a:dis]]<br /> [[fi:Dís]]</div> 83.250.39.202
