Kili too, starts out as a captive in Tauriel's land, being held in the prisons of Mirkwood by Thranduil. They forge a bond because she doesn't treat him with cruelty and disdain like the other elves do, just as Galadriel did with Gimli in the Lord of the Rings.
The last we see or hear of Tauriel is her mourning Kíli, confessing her love, and kissing his lips. What happens next? No one knows. Peter Jackson never says, but Evangeline Lilly - the actress who played Tauriel - said in an interview that she thinks Tauriel returned to Mirkwood even though she was banished.
Legolas, the son of Mirkwood's Elven king Thranduil, is indicated to be attracted to her, but as she is a lowly Silvan Elf, she does not believe herself worthy of him. Thranduil, in fact, makes it clear that he does not consider her to be a suitable match for his son and warns her not to give Legolas false hope.
Legolas does not marry or have any children, based on the appendix of The Lord of the Rings. Regardless of who his mother was, Legolas is the last of his line. When he sails into the West at the beginning of the Fourth Age, he leaves no family members behind.
Their relationship is fraught with awkwardness thanks to Tauriel's solely platonic feelings toward Legolas. Despite the unrequited interest, the two Mirkwood Elves have a great deal of respect for one another and have each other's backs. Legolas also comes to accept that Tauriel does not see him the way he sees her.
Tauriel truly threw a wrench in Legolas' life when he fell in love with her. She was brave, fierce, and a protective leader of the guard. He was meant to be the dutiful son of King Thranduil, but in loving her, he became a stubborn, masterful archer instead. He loved exploration and adventure over his duties.
However, a specific scene in The Lord of the Rings has led fans to theorize that Frodo and Legolas didn't talk, not because of time, but because the hobbit didn't know Legolas' name (and was too embarrassed to ask).
Later Tauriel, having learned from an Orc captive that the arrow wounding Kíli was poisoned, follows the Dwarves (accompanied by Legolas) in order to save him. In Lake-town, Kíli becomes gravely ill from the poisoned arrow and Thorin orders him left behind.
Kíli's runestone can be officially translated to “RETURN TO ME” and we can all agree that makes perfect sense in the context of the movie. Kíli's mother gave him the runestone to remind him to keep his promise to her. She simply wished for him to return to her.
Tauriel doesn't exist in the text, she was invented solely for the onscreen adaptations, and Legolas doesn't feature in The Hobbit book, and wasn't written until much later, when Tolkien published the Lord of the Rings books.
No Tauriel and Arwen are absolutely not the same. Arwen was the daughter of Elrond Half-elven, granddaughter to Galadriel and Celeborn, betrothed to Aragorn. She was the loveliest elf-maid since Lúthien Tinuviel.
Early life. Born in TA 2341 of the Third Age, Tauriel was the daughter of Tauressar and Calmiriel. During that year when she was born, her parents went on a scouting mission to the southern borders of Mirkwood until they were ambushed by Orcs that probably spawned from the old fortress of Dol Guldur.
No, Legolas was a Silvan Elf whereas Galadriel was Noldorin. It is possible that Legolas was related to some of the Elves of Lothlorien, but not to Galadriel.
In the "official movie guide" for The Lord of the Rings, a birthdate for Legolas is set to 87 of the Third Age. This would make him 2931 years old at the time of the War of the Ring. This date for Legolas' birth was made up by the movie writers.
Aragorn and Legolas are long-time companions and best friends since Legolas' father Thranduil sent him to live among the Rangers of the North. Aragorn and Legolas grew close, up to the point where Aragorn revealed his true identity to Legolas. Throughout his journeys, Aragorn and Legolas are as close as brothers.
Legolas and Gimli's relationship is strong in The Lord of the Rings, even though it wasn't explicitly romantic in Tolkien's source material. The members of the Fellowship in The Lord of the Rings forge an unbreakable bond while on their mission to destroy the One Ring.
The actor is suffering from Legolas Syndrome — where you accidentally get cast into a role that suits you far more than your real-life looks, leaving you with a tricky predicament after the wrap party. Do you A) nick all the costumes and stay in character the rest of your working life, or B)
Arwen probably got to know Legolas as her husband's friend and as the leader of the Elven colony in Ithilien. As Mary Tower points out, it is possible that they are distantly related, but it's nowhere stated.
In the films, Bloom wore contacts to make his eyes blue, probably to distinguish him from the Silvan elves of Mirkwood, Legolas, the son of Thranduil, is a Sindarin, often treated as nobility by elves of less distinguished lineage.
Thranduil adopted her when her parents were slaughtered by Orcs and Legolas is like a brother to her. Unlike Legolas, she doesn't hate dwarves and finds some attractive. She wishes to avenge her parents death on the orcs and is a brilliant fighter.
