What Makes Her Pure Good?[]

When her father questioned Lúthien about the man she had fallen in love with, she refused to say anything until Thingol swore an oath not to kill or capture Beren.
Although she went against her father's wishes, she did so to save Beren from captivity.
Together with Huan, she defeated Sauron.
She brought down the walls of Minas Tirith with her magic, freeing the captives, including Beren.
She prevented Beren from killing Curufin, although Curufin himself attacked Beren and if Beren had killed him, it would have been self-defense.
She healed Beren of the wounds inflicted by Curufin and Celegorm.
She continued to aid Beren in his mission, despite his attempts to dissuade her.
She put Carcharoth to sleep with magic so that Beren could go to where the Silmaril was kept.
When Carcharoth bit off Beren's hand, Lúthien healed Beren again.
She managed to bring about Beren's resurrection when he died in battle with Carcharoth. Then she gave up her immortality to remain with Beren.
