How cool is this! I found a full list of Legolas's flaws.<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Flaws<P>No one's perfect, not even Legolas.<P>Squabbles<P>'It was not the fault of the Dwarves that the friendship waned,' said Gimli.<BR>'I have not heard that it was the fault of the Elves,' said Legolas. -- (from FOTR) <P>Balrog-phobia:<P>Legolas turned and set an arrow to the string, though it was a long shot for his small bow. He drew, but his hand fell, and the arrow slipped to the ground. He gave a cry of dismay and fear. -- (from FOTR) <P>'It was a Balrog of Morgoth,' said Legolas; `of all elf-banes the most deadly, save the One who sits in the Dark Tower.' -- (from FOTR) <P>Needs to learn a few more choice cuss words:<P>'Ai! ai! ' wailed Legolas. 'A Balrog! A Balrog is come! ' -- (from FOTR) <P>Has a bit of a temper<P>'A plague on Dwarves and their stiff necks! ' said Legolas. <P>`I am an Elf and a kinsman here,' said Legolas, becoming angry in his turn. -- (from FOTR) <P>Has a bit of a whinge:<P>'Alas for the folly of these days! ' said Legolas. 'Here all are enemies of the one Enemy, and yet I must walk blind, while the sun is merry in the woodland under leaves of gold! ' -- (from FOTR) <P>Loses his command of Common Tongue when in a panic (on the Anduin)<P>'_Yrch!_' said Legolas, falling into his own tongue. -- (from FOTR) <P>Is orcist<P>'No other folk make such a trampling,' said Legolas. 'It seems their delight to slash and beat down growing things that are not even in their way.' -- (from TTT) <P>Is occasionally pessimistic<P>Before dawn was in the sky he woke and rose. Gimli was still deep in slumber, but Legolas was standing, gazing northwards into the darkness, thoughtful and silent as a young tree in a windless night.<P>'They are far far away,' he said sadly, turning to Aragorn. 'I know in my heart that they have not rested this night. Only an eagle could overtake them now.' -- (from TTT) <P>'I fear they have passed beyond my sight from hill or plain, under moon or sun,' said Legolas. (from TTT) <P>"Now why did not we wish for some of our own kinsfolk, Legolas?' <P>Legolas stood before the gate and turned his bright eyes away north and east, and his fair face was troubled. 'I do not think that any would come,' he answered. 'They have no need to ride to war; war already marches on their own lands.' -- (from ROTK) <P><BR>Annoys Aragorn<P>'There are three empty saddles, but I see no hobbits,' said Legolas.<P>'I did not say that we should hear good news,' said Aragorn. 'But evil or good we will await it here.' -- (from TTT) <P>Almost succumbs to Tree Thrall:<P>At last the company passed through the trees, and found that they had come to the bottom of the Coomb, where the road from Helm's Deep branched, going one way east to Edoras, and the other north to the Fords of Isen. As they rode from under the eaves of the wood, Legolas halted and looked back with regret. Then he gave a sudden cry. <P>'There are eyes!' he said. 'Eyes looking out from the shadows of the boughs! I never saw such eyes before.' <P>The others, surprised by his cry, halted and turned; but Legolas started to ride back. <P>'No, no!' cried Gimli. 'Do as you please in your madness, but let me first get down from this horse! I wish to see no eyes!' 'Stay, Legolas Greenleaf!' said Gandalf. 'Do not go back into the wood, not yet! Now is not your time.' -- (TTT) <P>Further freaks out an already freaked out Gimli<P>Legolas turning to speak to Gimli looked back and the Dwarf saw before his face the glitter in the Elf's bright eyes. Behind them rode Elladan, last of the Company, but not the last of those that took the downward road.<P>'The Dead are following,' said Legolas. 'I see shapes of Men and of horses, and pale banners like shreds of cloud, and spears like winter-thickets on a misty night. The Dead are following.' -- (ROTK) <P>Would probably prefer to hang-out with his mates than his girlfriend<P>Pure speculation on my part, but I'm probably right. *grin* <P> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I dont know about you, but I like it!<p>[ January 15, 2003: Message edited by: eleanor_niphredil ]
