ok she's pretty, I will definitely give you that. but...I dunno.
I'm not too fond of using an army of Kithkin. I much prefer saving just one or two of my sixty for them, for really special guys like the Kinsbaile Cavalier.
The Lord of the Rings battles were great because the silly hobbits had their moments, but most of the focus was still on epic serious guys. Comic relief or lightheartedness in battle should be the exception, not the norm, for maximum effect. That said, I wouldn't dream of actually playing 0 of her either. At least 1, cuz the card really is very good.
I'm a very picky deck-builder. I overthink it and use subjective standards, as a defense mechanism against going to the 'dark side' of Magic and just playing Caw-Blade, Jund, Faeries, Affinity, or whatever the CurbStompU deck of the time is.

I've won enough games with this and armored ascension that I have to rate it up

I can't believe more people haven't rated this card. She is a perfect white weenie, and an excellent lifegain. first strike ensures that she wont die to another easy to drop 2/2, and she gains life every time she attacks or blocks. Ajani's Pridemate and a Cradle of Vitality will go far with a few of these in there. In fact, I have 4 of her as a must in my own lifegain deck, and never have considered taking her out. Too useful and for such a small drop. 4.5/5

This card is great and like another poster stated, paired with Armored ascension, HotP, Knight Exemplar and/or Kinsbaile Cavalier and you have huge beats and great lifegain.
flying 6/6 first strike/lifelink on turn 4 just wins games! Or the lifegain saves your @ss

Back when lifelink was a triggered ability this card was what won me games. I remember being over 1,000 life because of this knight, a Battlegrace Angel, and a Loxodon Warhammer.
I do not understand how I can have been playing with this card since it was released and not read the flavour text until yesterday...I do not understand how this has happened, especially when it is such an awesome set of words.
