im so so glad that tauriel was created
there were about 5 little girls from about 8 to 12 years old dressed in their best elven costumes with lil ears and braids and everything at the movie today and when i came out of the theater and saw them with their families
they were all so excited and happy
one was almost shouting “she was so cool when she beat all those orcs!!”
tauriel is going to be a role model for those young ladies and im so glad for it
