Heh, you make a credible argument on the Naiad-hair. ^_^ (I guess depending on the Naiad, floofy/frizzy could also be an option, though. )
Well... it's been awhile since I've read any of the sources besides The Trilogy, but I was passionately in love with every scrap of Tolkienverse I could get my hands on in my early teens, and I've also read a lot of fanfiction more recently. :p Also, the image of a woman leaping off a cliff with a jewel in her hands and changing shape on the way down is a powerful one, sticks in my head a bit.
