I am watching The Hobbit - Desolation. I have to say - one of my favorite scenes is Tauriel healing Kili with the athelas. It is just so beautiful. I really love her character in general in the film. I have to say she is a wonderful addition to the story. There, I have said it! Say what you want. I love her!

I like her too.

There is such a lack of female characters in Tolkien - she is a good addition.

True, and I don't find her Mary Sueish, although she's gorgeous and a great fighter. What I don't like is Jackson's interpretation that Thranduil is a snob. I mean, I bet he is, but not towards the Silvan elves... would they have kept him so long as king if he disdained them and put them in a lower caste...? Anyways, yay for strong, gorgeous elf women injected into Tolkien's wrold. ;)
