It's a Hobbit I fancy.

Rose's brother - Wilcome "Jolly" Cotton

Defended the Shire against Sharkey's Men in The Battle of Bywater, the last battle in The War of the Ring.

Though I am usually a rather indecisive person, this answer doesn't take me a second's hesitation:

Faramir!

For all the reasons that Mithalwen gave.
And I think his most striking character trait is his extraordinary empathy .
(I am speaking of Book- Faramir, of course! And in my imagination he looks like Anke Eissmann portrays him.)

(btw I love the beautiful verses by Yeats you gave, Mithalwen!)

As I expected a lot mostly females are posting on thsi thread simply because there are a lot more male characters to choose from in the books and they are usually in the center of attention.

I mean, I am can't think like you, bu Faramir Mr. Perfect.
Why not Beren for example?

I am a hobbit fancier myself, but I would defenently not marry the Pimple, what a creep... but of course, Ted Sandyman is not all that better! But if you married Saurman wouldn't he put a spell on you or kill you if you tried to calm you down. But you might be able to get control of Grima, but he is kinda shallow.
