Ruive (Ru-eve) is a dwelf princess of the Dragon Slayers, the strongest and bravest of all her kingdom. Once upon a time she fell in love with an elf; but when tragedy struck and she lost everything she promised her heart she would never let herself love again. After decades of torture Ruive is found by Arathorn and he offers her a place as a ranger. When Thorin sets out to reclaim Erebor, Gandalf calls upon her skills to help them and to defend the line of Durin. Perhaps a certain dark haired prince can let her love again. (Kili love story)

"Are you and my brother courting yet?" She sighed, annoyed. "No Fili, we aren't." "Well, tell me when you are. If he hurts you, I'll kill him." "Shouldn't you be threatening me? He's your brother, after all." "I figure you are perfectly capable of killing him yourself. And if you do have to, I'm sure he probably deserves it." A young princess was orphaned after her parents were brutally murdered, and for years, she exchanged her pain with anger and hatred towards the killer. She became a Ranger and traveled the lands of Middle Earth in search of revenge, but what she got instead was a quest to reclaim a homeland stolen by a dragon, some new friends, and a few major injuries. But it was all worth it, in the end.
