I can't believe I have never posted in this thread!

Well I most definitely have a Frodo personality, but with the greastest of all urges to travel, which makes me kind of different in a way (I can never stay in one place for a huge amount of time). But personality wise I am very much a Frodo. I can be a loner, I am very deep and I spend a lot of time alone, but then I also enjoy the friendship of friends and family. And in addition I love learning from all. He has always been the one that I have related too the most since when I first read the book. Even at the end in Mt. Doom and Mordor, when he had very much changed into a different person, he very much reminded me of myself.

While those online tests are sometimes fun and amusing, please try to make an attempt to describe why you're most like the character you choose. That was the original question asked, and doing so will keep this thread on-topic and interesting to read. We don't need another "Who's your favourite character?" thread!

I was just thinking recently how much I resemble Bilbo. I generally have a hobbity personality but I share Bilbo's intelectual curiosity. I can see myself pouring over old Elvish scrolls and making poems about Earendil, while at the same time looking forward to the next meal. Long councils (debates, etc) end up boring me. (I am easily bored

). I selfishly surround myself with bright and interesting people. Sometimes I suprise not only the others but also myself, finding a strength in me that I had no idea I possessed. And lastly, I'm a peace maker at heart.

I think I am more like Eowyn. I may be a woman but that doesn't mean I am weak. I can fight my own fights, too. And I could be stubborn at times. Eowyn for me symbolizes a special kind of girl power, Middle Earth style. In a world or kingdom dominated by men, she does not let herself get intimidated. Her strong personality is even made more fiery by her heart, the passionate and loving heart of a woman. And that has made her one-of-a-kind! And I admire her. I'd love to identify myself with her.

Gorwingel, I think you and me must be a lot alike. I feel like I could have written your post!

I am very much like Frodo - I like to travel, learn and read, and I need to have time to myself to think, but I also enjoy being with my friends. I like being out in nature.

I'd have to say I'm somewhere between Eowyn and Arwen. I love horses and prefer technical subjects but I also am quiet adn sometimes determined.
