No, I don't think there are, which is undoubtedly why they're doing this. I just don't see how her character can fit into the story at all. The elves are mysterious bad guys who get a last-second change of heart in the book. Giving them sympathetic characters in the movie is going to make the whole scenario very different, though... maybe it'll work well, if Bilbo is spying on them and learning that they're not bad people, just scared.

Also, I think they should have made some of the dwarves female. I mean... only like 4 of them are important to the plot, anyway, in the book. Who really cares if Dori, Nori, Ori, Fili, Kili, Bifor, or Bofur get a sex change? Too much potential for hilarity given Gimli's comments about bearded dwarf women in the Two Towers?

Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion between supposed lovers. Between supposed brothers.
