Elladan or Elrohir!
I would love to be one of the twin sons of Elrond. At all times that they are mentioned in the story they seem to me to be fearless and in the thick of things. They arent loud and bombastic like some other characters and simply do what is right. I love the thought of the two of them out fighting the orcs alone while their kinsman celebrate in the halls of Rivendell. That seems very heroic to me. Also seeing as how they are not pure Elf blood, their father being half elven, they have the characteristics of men that i can more easily identify with and yet at the same time they also have the blessing of perpetual youth.
If i could change something about them it would be that they had both or at least one of them had been part of the company. i think they could have contributed significantly.Elrond may even have been considering them when he at first wanted to place someone of his household in the company instead of Merry and Pippin.
Just some thoughts! Great topic!
