Beyond an orc attack that spurs her premature departure West, very little is known about Galadriel’s only child, Celebrian.
Because our modern culture prizes visibility — or alternatively, surveillance — “taking action” is often narrowly-defined as what happens only in the public domain. Contributions and outcomes within subtext or done in private is “passive” and therefore often overlooked or devalued.
Interdependence is a strong theme in legendarium because it breeds humility. Pride, as Tolkien defined it, swells within those who forget that everything they have, ever achieved or thought originated from Iluvatar. And through Him, that of one’s contemporaries and ancestors.
Most events in history play-out off stage and within the seemingly mundane: private conversations, letters, intercession, covert alliances, influences, and decisions that will never, and perhaps be never, be known.
Tolkien, accordingly, wrote many characters whose significance can only be deciphered by applying narrative causality. And Celebrian is one.
Here’s a non-exhaustive list of her role:
Celebrian’s departure instigates the Age of Men
By the Third Age, the world- and war-wearied Noldor in Middle Earth cling to the past. Compared to previous ages, they forsake innovation and mostly retire in sanctuaries. In essence, they become stagnate and reluctant to act.
But Celebrian’s decision to choose to heal, to choose joy is a catalytic event. In fact, it’s her primary narrative purpose because Elrond will naturally join her. As a renowned Elf lord and lady of royal lineage, their new future trajectory would tremendously influence others to heed the sea’s call. And so it comes to pass that Elven dominance in Middle Earth ends.
Celebrian helps bring Galadriel back to God (Ilúvatar)
Her daughter’s departure would prompt Galadriel to ponder her own future. When Frodo offers her the one ring, though momentarily tempted, she rejects it not only with humility but for love of Celebrian, longing for reunion.
If mightier the person, the harder the fall then a corrupted Galadriel may suffer her uncle Fëanor’s grim fate: forever sundered from those she loves.
In surrendering to love and the Divine Vision of the Music, she ends her rebellion against the Valar, and by extension, Ilúvatar.
Celebrian plays a crucial role in Aragorn's upbringing
In harmony with Elrond, her legacy is a nurturing environment in Rivendell, creating a virtuous upbringing that allows Aragorn to embody courage, selflessness, and loyalty. Additionally, a quire warrior and leadership skills, healing arts, and other valuable knowledge and wisdom of the Eldar. It is from this transformative power, he can become the King of Arnor and Gondor.
Celebrian's has a hand in Arwen's “magic” standard
Arwen secretly weaves a standard (flag) for Aragorn that enables him to command the Army of Dead and achieve victory at Pelennor Fields.
Presumably, as Galadriel is a skilled weaver, Celebrian is too and teaches her own daughter. It’s the equivalent to the tradition of a father who teaches his son swordsmanship that later saves his life and that of others.

"Then I will remain here too, to keep a eye on them. I know their fates already." Gil sighed as the royal family was always very important to her and she had a debt to repay.
My lord, I -I miss my lady Celebrían. It's been so long since we've said goodbye to her yet I still miss her.
“Ai, so do I,” Elrond said softly. “We all miss her,”
