[QUOTE="ColonelHardisson, post: 302012, member: 363"] I don't know about that. Galadriel was the mother of Celebrian, and while we know little about her, we do know she married Elrond and had a child - Arwen. Arwen apparently inherited [i]something[/i] from her mother's side of the family. You could say it was just looks, but it seemed more than that. Also, a lot of powerful Noldor were born in Middle Earth - or at least it certainly seems that they were born in Middle Earth. Celebrimbor and Gil-Galad are perhaps the best examples. I always assumed they were born in Middle Earth; I don't recall anything that refutes that. The Sindar are another reason I think this way. While not as powerful as the Noldor, they were more powerful than the Silvan Elves, were born in Middle Earth, and passed on their attributes - examples are Thranduil and Legolas. But, it's not entirely clear, so I guess it could be interpreted different ways. I'd say a good way of handling it would be that the Noldor who actually lived in the Blessed Realm at one time would have a template, much like the half-celestial template.
