'''Findis''' and '''Irimë''' were [[Noldor|Elves]], daughters of [[Finwë]], [[High King of the Noldor]] and [[Indis]]; sisters of [[Fingolfin]] and [[Finarfin]] and half-sisters of [[Fëanor]]. Findis was the first child of Finwë and Indis, and Irimë was the third one. Little is known about them except that Findis stayed with Indis and Finarfin in [[Valinor]], while Irimë went to Middle-earth with Fingolfin. Findis is a combination of her parents' names. Irimë's mother-name was '''''Lalwendë''''' or in shortened form '''''Lalwen''''', and by this name she was generally known. In some versions Irimë is called '''''Irien''''' which may have been her father-name.

In earlier versions of the legendarium, Finwë and Indis had three daughters, '''Findis''', '''Faniel''' and '''Finvain'''. It remains unclear if the third daughter survived in the final conception of Finwë's family tree.
