Indis (Q, pron. ['indis]) was a Vanya, the second wife of Finwë.
History
Meeting of Finwë and Indis
One day, Finwë arose and went forth from Tirion alone, and he passed through the Calacirya, and went towards the house of Ingwë upon the west slopes of Oiolossë.
His coming was unheralded and unforeseen; and when Indis saw Finwë climbing the paths of the Mountain, and the light of Laurelin was behind him as a glory, without forethought she sang suddenly in great joy, and her voice went up as a song of the lirulin in the sky. Then Finwë heard that song falling from above, and he looked up and saw Indis in the golden light, and he knew in that moment that she loved him and had long done so. Then his heart turned at last to her; and he believed that this chance, as it seemed, had been granted for the comfort of them both.
In one year from their meeting, in Y.T. 1185, upon the Mountain, Finwë, King of the Noldor, wedded Indis, sister of Ingwë; and Finwë loved her dearly, and was glad again; and she bore him four children; yet the shadow of Míriel did not depart from the House of Finwë, nor from his heart; and of all whom he loved Fëanor had ever the chief share of his thought.[2]
The Vanyar and the Noldor for the most part rejoiced, except Fëanor. Though the Vanyar used Þ in the place of s, Indis adopted the change in the speech of the Noldor, along with Finwë, which was one of the many causes of the bitterness of Fëanor towards Indis and her children.[3]
The Death of Finwë
In Y.T. 1495, after the slaying of her husband, Indis, along with her eldest daughter Findis, returned to Valinor to live among her people, the Vanyar.
