'''Indis''' ([[Quenya|Q]], pron. {{IPA|[ˈindis]}}) was a [[Vanyar|Vanya]], the second wife of [[Finwë]]. 
==History==
Her mother was close kin of [[Ingwë]], King of the Vanyar and [[High King of the Elves]].<ref>{{S|6}}</ref>


After the death of [[Míriel Serindë]], Finwe was allowed by [[Manwë]] to take a second wife and Indis thus became the stepmother to [[Feanor]]. With Indis, Finwe had two more sons, [[Fingolfin]] and [[Finarfin]], and two daughters, [[Findis]] and [[Írimë]]. Feanor observed the influence of Indis on Finwe, including his speech who started to resemble [[Vanyarin|that of the Vanyar]] and considered it a disrespect against his mother.<ref>{{PM|Shibboleth}}</ref>
After the slaying of her husband, she, along with her eldest daughter Findis, returned to [[Valinor]] to live among her people, the [[Vanyar]].
