My Chosen Race
Galadriel

I would like to be an elf. Why? Because, as humans, it seems that as soon as we have matured and experienced enough to be considered truly wise...we "kick the bucket!" I recall the phrase "wisdom of the ages." I think what a benefit you could be to other inhabitants of the world if you had such wisdom. I think that's how Tolkien's vision of Galadriel had evolved. She was in Middle Earth aiding and guiding those that would "inherit" the land after the Elves passed over sea.
