Nice pick Gwath!

I sent Merry and was actually a bit disappointed Wilwa didn't even consider picking him... I mean c'mon, he is always playing the second fiddle, and while everyone in the fellowship becomes a person and comes to the fore here and there, Merry is mostly just in the way and tossed here an there - and at the moment of his glory he is forgotten to the battlefield...

But to be honest, there were lots of other good choices to make as well. Although I don't think the Entwives was one. I would say them to be the opposite of neglected or ignored being constantly in the minds of the ents and as the dearest object of their daily longing.
