LOTR: How is Arwen Related to Galadriel?

While it’s common knowledge among Lord of the Rings fans that Arwen Undómiel is Lord Elrond’s daughter, many don’t know that she’s also related to Lady Galadriel. They don’t exactly spend a lot of time together in the novels or the film adaptations. The only scene showing Arwen (Liv Tyler) and Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) together was cut from The Two Towers. So, many fans walked away not even realizing there was a blood connection between the two. It wasn’t the first time Arwen’s story suffered from deleted material, but it was the first that sort of made sense.
