Tauriel was a Silvan Elf of Mirkwood. She has been described as a warrior and head of the Wood-elf guard.[1] Her character was invented by Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh for The Hobbit (film series) and was portrayed by Evangeline Lilly.[2] She is essentially the film continuity's equivalent of the captain of the Elvenking's guard mentioned in the "Barrels out of Bond" chapter in the original novel, although her literary equivalent is described as a male character and played a significantly smaller role.

In The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, when the Woodland Realm captures Thorin and Company, Tauriel takes a bit of an interest in the young Kíli. When she learns of his being struck by a poisoned arrow by Bolg in the Company's escape from custody in wine barrels, she goes after him in hopes of healing his wound. Legolas (who secretly fancies her) joins her in pursuit of the Orcs who were after the company. The two of them manage to reach them in Lake-town and kill many of them, while Tauriel also manages to heal Kíli with Athelas found on the premises.

Etymology

Tauriel means "daughter of Mirkwood"[2] or more literally, "daughter of [the] forest" (see taur).
