If you're nominating someone you expect the mods to have questions about (e.g. someone who falls under the "Cases where a character is not necessarily a woman in canon, but a case can be made where a reasonable person would understand why they could be interpreted as such" provision), feel free to leave a comment here if you'd rather not wait for a query post.

Just pre-emptively making a case for a few of my noms...

- Female Eru (Silmarillion): The account in the Silmarillion of the creation of the world is canonically only an interpretation; Eru could be anything at all. Also there is apparently a Finnish translation that uses female pronouns for Eru.

- The Withywindle (LOTR): A river, but arguably one with a very "female" energy (Goldberry the River-daughter lives on its banks, and there are references to a mysterious River-woman).

- Nenya (LOTR): A Ring of Power. The One Ring is depicted as almost sentient; Gandalf states in canon that none of the rings should be used lightly, which I extrapolate to mean that the Elven rings have "personalities" too. Nenya is wielded by the canonically female Galadriel, and while -ya isn't strictly a female affix, it isn't male either.

[everywomanmods]

Female Eru has been accepted. Mods will discuss the Withywindle and Nenya and return with a decision.

[everywomanmods]

Mods have approved both Nenya and the Withywindle.
