# Tauriel

A Woodland Elf whose name has been translated as “Daughter of the forest”, and is the head of the Mirkwood Elven guard. I am not in Tolkien’s books; I was created by Peter Jackson, Phillipa Boyens and Fran Walsh specifically for Jackson’s _Hobbit_ Trilogy. I was introduced in _The Desolation of Smaug_ in 2013.
