softening my opinionated statement
'''Éowyn''' is the most heroic female character in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''. Éowyn is a daughter of the House of Eorl and the niece of [[Théoden|King Théoden]] of [[Rohan (Middle-earth)|Rohan]]. Loyally taking care of the king (her uncle), she noted with dismay how Wormtongue (a spy for Saruman) seduced Theoden into acting the dotard. Her spirit was roused by the arrival of Aragorn, and she demonstrated the utmost loyalty to king and country by disguising herself as a man and riding with [[Merry]] into battle, where fortuitously she and Merry were able to unseat the leader of the nine [[Black Riders]], turning the tide of the battle.

No one ever spoke aloud to her although she walked freely around the camp, so if anyone recognized her he kept his thoughts to himself (at least publicly).
*She came to an understanding with Elfhelm about Merry and the Marshal and his Riders ignored the Hobbit's presence. If Elfhelm recognized Dernhelm to be Eowyn, he said nothing about it to the King. Eowyn spoke to no one else in the company. [http://www.tuckborough.net/eowyn.html]
