Your DM never tried killing her for drama?
A few times yeah. Not often when it was important to the game though.
I was thinking about the "standard fantasy races" and a thought came to me:
What would the standard fantasy races have been if D&D had not been inspired by Tolkien?
If it wasn't elves, dwarfs, halflings and orcs, what would it be?

You probably wouldn't have races as an option if not for Tolkein. If you look at adventurers in fantasy stories that could have influenced DnD, like Conan or Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, they're always human. Myths also typically involve humans, for obvious reasons.
It's not just the races, though. Without Gandalf, you lose a prominent example of a good guy magic user. The good guys in Sword and Sorcery stories are normally the guys with the swords, so magic systems inspired by them are likely...

That's what I thought. Early tabletop games were trying to recreate the atmosphere of The Fellowship of the Ring, with the whole "multiracial band of adventurers travels the land and explores dungeons" thing.
