But Finrod had taken an oath only for himself, and his beloved had been left in Valinor. She dwelt in Nargothrond with her brother Finrod, and asked him if he would take no wife. Galadriel only briefly narrated the story to her, leaving out the death of Finwë, the Kinslaying at Alqualondë, and the burning of the ships at Losgar. Galadriel became friends with Melian the Maia, who wanted to know the cause of the Exile of the Ñoldor. Her three other brothers were killed during various battles in the First Age. She also traveled to visit her brother, Finrod, in his realm of Nargothrond multiple times. She met Celeborn, a kinsman of Thingol, in Doriath. Once in Beleriand, she lived nominally with one of her brothers, most likely Finrod, but spent much time at the court of Thingol and Melian in Menegroth, where she arrived in FA 52 and was welcomed because of her family relationship to Thingol's brother Olwë, Galadriel's maternal grandfather. Galadriel was horrified by Fëanor's violence and cruelty, and sailed in the night to Middle-earth without waiting for Manwë's permission. In Fëanor's rebellion that followed, Galadriel had no part, and together with Celeborn, fought against Fëanor defending her mother's kin in defense of Alqualondë, and Celeborn's ship was spared of the attack of the Noldor. Together they planned to build a ship and sail to Middle-earth and they were about to ask permission to the Valar, when Melkor with Ungoliant, destroyed the light of the Trees. She went for a time to live with her mother's relatives in Alqualondë, where she met her future husband, Celeborn. And that she wished to leave Valinor and go to the vast world of Middle-earth, to give free rein there to her talents. Although in the latest version of the story, Galadriel's story changed significantly, far from joining Fëanor's rebellion, she opposed him in nearly everything. They followed Fingolfin instead and crossed the Helcaraxë in the far north. However, separated from Fëanor and his kin, she and her people did not take part in the Kinslaying at Alqualondë. Galadriel witnessing the kinslaying at Alqualondë, by Elena Kukanova She swore no oaths and was like-minded to her cousin Fingon, son of Fingolfin. She was eager to see Middle-earth, having heard of it from Fëanor, and desired to rule a realm of her own. According to the older account, used in The Silmarillion, Galadriel was an eager participant and leader in the rebellion of the Ñoldor and their flight from Valinor due to her desire to one day rule over lands in Middle-earth herself. Much of Galadriel's story is confusing, and there are several distinct tales told about her collected in the Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth. Galadriel was born in Valinor in the Years of the Trees, before the First Age.
