So Hector, obviously, is a pansy because Paris is. The absolutely does not follow. And
I don't have anything against not being uninteresting. Tolkien was all about the uninteresting, stalwart characters: think Treebeard, Samwise Gamgee and his Gaffer, Bilbo, Butterburr, and a host of others.
Not to mention Elrond is anything but a sissy...considering that without him, his wise counse, and his wisdom in building a refuge and bastion, the Kindly West would have fallen
long before the time of Bilgo and Frodo.
I say we vote for Celebrian. I now recant my original position, and take up the opposite and equally valid argument that, as there is nothing important ever told about her, she is not worthy of staying in the running. Sure, she porduced offspring that reunited the long-sundered branches of the Dunedian, and she was the daughter of Galadriel. But she never did anything cool herself.
