Míriel was called Serindë, because of her surpassing skill in weaving and needlework; for her hands were more skilled to fineness than any hands even among the Noldor. She was a Noldorin Elda of slender and graceful form, and of gentle disposition, though as was later discovered in matters far more grave, she could show an ultimate obstinacy. Silver was her hair and dark were her eyes, she had a beautiful voice and a delicate and clear enunciation, though she spoke swiftly and took pride in this skill.
