Cynthia Addai-Robinson Is Changing Lord of the Rings Canon For the Better
Briefly

We know shockingly little about Tar-Míriel, an embattled queen created by J.R.R. Tolkien.
There's not much else to her story beyond a physical description and a tragic fate - something that presented a challenge when it came time to adapt the character on-screen.

Míriel plays a more active role in the story here, growing beyond her original role as a literal footnote.
