i'm not a fan of fëanorian tauriel either, but given that it's specifically mentioned to be rare and tolkien spends so much time talking about elf hair in general but only ever mentions 5 members of one family with red hair in particular...idk i am kind of just a little aggrieved that tauriel has red hair. like would it have been that hard to just give her dark hair, if they wanted a visual contrast between her and legolas and thranduil?

but i would rather take no explanation and live w/ the minor annoyance (i like her overall tbh) than have her be a descendant of fëanor. pls no.

He writes a lot about royal families, though, and we don't know that much about more 'lowly' Elves in general, or the few who are mentioned are rarely described. I'd never really thought about it in depth before, but I'd imagine that while there may only be one notable family with red-haired people in it, red hair among Elves could be as it is among actual humans in Western Europe - rarer than any other hair colour but still not something especially exceptional.

IMO, if Tauriel was dark-haired even more people would be confusing her with Arwen.
