Description
This is my imagination of the Valië Vána, one of the divine beings in the "Simarillion", in which J.R.R. Tolkien describes the universe of Middle-earth.
The name Vána is related to Elvish words for 'beautiful' (Quenya vanya or vanima). Tolkien wrote about Vána that she was "the most perfectly 'beautiful' in form and feature (also 'holy' but not august or sublime), representing the natural unmarred perfection of form in living things".

"All flowers spring as she passes and open if she glances upon them; and all birds sing at her coming."
She dwells in gardens filled with golden flowers and often comes to the forests of Oromë.
