I have trouble picturing Tom since in the end he is in M-e, but not of M-e. So how do you really picture someone who is somewhat otherworldly? That is my problem, I can't just think of him as normal guy with coloured clothing...

He must be something different... and since I think of me usually as a nature spirit I'd rather think of him more wizardish. Maybe more like Radagast in a way, only rather a plant-lover than a beast-lover.
