Don't describe her extreme, unusual beauty in loving detail.

Don't dwell on how 'different' she is from the norm.

Don't go into her tragic/unusual past, especially if it has no bearing on your plot. ABSOLUTELY don't explore how 'unappreciated' she was as a child.

Keep her in the background at first then, if the audience likes her, bring her forward gradually in drabbles and one shots. Don't let her overwhelm the lead hobbits/elves/ents/whatever.

Don't give her a defining physical/emotional/mental disfigurement to make her more 'real.'

Don't give her magical powers.

Wow, the list goes on and on and on!
