Tolkien Elven Imagines and Headcanons Volume 1

128. Being Maedhros' sister headcanons

- When you're the only daughter of Feanor, you're going to come with 7 brothers ranging in personality, but the most consistent figure in your life no matter what he's been through will be Maedhros.

- He will have been incredibly involved in your life from the moment you are born, helping his amille and atar with your care whenever he can and even beyond as you've gotten older.

-  Maedhros will always be quick to defend you or give you a chance to speak for yourself no matter what trouble you've been accused of doing or the trouble that you're in.

- He will do his best to always make sure that your voice is heard and not getting drowned out by the other 6 brothers, or even by your own atar.

- Maedhros values your opinions and thoughts, always listening to things you have to say and taking your views highly into consideration.

- He has a softer spot for you considering you are his sister, so while naturally he will do the same for the others, he has a softer spot for you.

- Because of his softer spot for you, this is intrinsically linked with his high drive to keep you safe though he isn't as unreasonable as Curufin can be.

- Maedhros will encourage you that you learn how to defend yourself, gently teaching you especially after his return from Thangorodrim as he is terrified of what could happen to you.

- He'll teach you even while he is reteaching himself to fight with his one hand, deciding it would be better to kill two birds with one stone.

- You are the only person outside of Maglor and Fingon who he loosens up around after his torture, Maedhros' trust and love for you keeping him soft when he is with you. Even if he still seems considerably guarded.

- You are also the only person who Maedhros doesn't snap at when it comes to you wanting to help him out with things, with him being one handed.

- While he understands that his brothers just want to help in the same way that you do, he can't deny you the same way that he does them.

- Maedhros will still press often that you see him as your confidant, wanting to help relieve any worries and stresses on your mind, or will do his best to comfort you should you explain your distress for him.

- Maedhros will do everything in his power to make sure that you are safe and out of harms way, if he's not out protecting you with his own hand then it's him sending you to someone who he knows is completely and utterly capable.

- Just as his brothers are important to him, so are you, Maedhros loves you and wants to always do everything in his power to have you happy and safe however he can reasonably manage it.
