Who is your favorite Lord of the Rings character and why? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Amen, ninlaith. Beautifully said.

I've said it before and will say it again: Sam is my favourite character because of his hopefulness, his loyalty, and his courage. I aspire to be more like Sam Gamgee.

Celeborn.

He's just so...down to (Middle-)earth. A lot of people don't like him, I can't really understand that but oh-well.

I mean, he was the Prince of Doriath, he married Artanis, Finarfin's Daughter and was probably openly shunned by his people for it because of the Kinslayings. He ruled Eregion and remained behind after Galadriel ran away to look ater the place, He ruled Lorien, and you can say what you like about that but it doesn't change the fact that the Galadhrim report to him and not to Galadriel, and then there were several other settlements, Dol Amroth etc. So he's obviously a good leader.

He survived at least two Kinslayings (this depends on whether you go by the published Silmarillion or by Tolkien's later idea that he was of the Teleri, not the Sindar), The War of Wrath, The Last Alliance and led the battle against the Orcs with Thranduil during the Ring War. If he hadn't done so another army of orcs from Mordor and Isengard would have blind-sided the Pelennor and wiped out everyone there. He destroyed Dol Guldor, began another settlement, East Lorien, and remained after Galadriel left. *shakes head* The guy was no lap dog, people!

*reads* Woah...OTT, fangirl defense...shutting up now.

*grins and holds back the urge to glomp*

Exactly! Although, in my case it's the other way around.

Grima... but you don't need to hear another one of my Worm-praising rants.

Morgul Queen · 11-04-2004, 10:44 PM

I quite like Grima. He's interesting...not as interesting as Denethor and not as Fangirlable, but still kinda neat.

My favorite character is Haldir because he has boundless courage, and he is loyal to all of his friends.
