Finarfin
Finarfin was the youngest child and son of Finwë and Indis. After the Flight of the Noldor he remained in Tirion and ruled the Noldor who remained in Aman.Finarfin was a Ñoldorin Elf of Valinor.Finarfin was said to be the fairest and wisest of Finwë's sons.[6] Like all of Finwë's sons, Finarfin founded his own house. Uniquely among the Ñoldor, he and his descendants all had golden hair inherited from his mother, thus his house was sometimes called "The Golden House of Finarfin" History of Finarfin
Finarfin was born in Valinor in Y.T. 1230. He was the youngest of the five children of Finwë, the High King of the Noldor. Finarfin's mother was Indis, Finwë's second wife. Finarfin's full siblings were Findis, Fingolfin, and Írimë while his half-brother was the great Elf Lord Fëanor. Fëanor disapproved of his father's second marriage and had small love for Indis and her children although Finarfin remained far from those disputes.
In Y.T. 1280 Finarfin married Eärwen, daughter of Olwë, King of the Teleri in Valinor.They had four children: Finrod, Angrod, Aegnor and Galadriel.Finarfin's mother was of the Vanyar, and he inherited her fair hair, which he passed on to his children. The Elves of the House of Finarfin were unique among their kin who had dark hair.

The House of Finarfin was the descendants and followers of Finarfin, third son of Finwë who followed Fëanor. A particular aspect of this house is that many had golden hair, due to their half-Vanyarin heritage.During the march on Aman Finarfin himself repented when heard the Doom of the Noldor and returned to the West with some of his followers.His children, led by Finrod, came to Beleriand, and that is why his House is also named House of Finrod. Galadriel belonged to this house as well as Gildor Inglorion and perhaps Glorfindel. Such Elves remained in Middle-earth until the late Third Age.
