Name: Frodo Baggins
Well, that is all! I know, I know...it was a VERY long description, but meh! If I missed out on anything, or you want to roast me for writing something that made you mad, than feel free to e-mail me!
We've read about him, we've seen him in the movie, we've fantasized about him (*koff* Or at least about Elijah Wood...*koff*), and we've generally fallen in love with the endearing Frodo Baggins. But just who is this Hobbit...?
Race: Hobbit (or Holbytla/Perrianath/Halfling/Little People)
Gender: Male (wow, didn't see that one coming! XP)
Birthdate: September 22, 2968 (in the Third Age)
Parents: Drogo Baggins and Primula Brandybuck - but they died when Frodo was a child, so he went to live with his cousin Bilbo when he was in his 'tweens'.
Personality: Frodo is an adventurous Hobbit, as we see in the book, (and also naughty in his childhood - he stole mushrooms from Farmer Maggot! *tsk tsk*), but then we have to draw our own conclusions about his personality. I've come to see that Frodo seemed very kind, and enjoyed his friends being around him. He also had a strong will in that he would not give up, and he seemed rather curious about various things. :)
Appearance: IN THE BOOK -- While Tolkien is amazing at describing landscapes and various locations within Middle-earth, he left us hanging for some of the characters - specifically Frodo. What he DID write about Frodo was done mostly during the chapter 'Strider' in The Fellowship of the Ring, in which we read that Frodo was a 'stout little fellow with red cheeks', 'taller than some and fairer than most', he had 'a cleft in his chin', and was a 'perky chap with a bright eye'. Plus, we also can figure his general appearance out in the fact that he was a Hobbit - thus he'd have large, hairy feet, curly brown hair, and would be anywhere from 3 to 4 feet tall.
IN THE MOVIE -- Well, here's where the real gold is! C'mon, Elijah Wood is THE hottest actor on the planet, so it was super-great that he played the greatest book character on the planet. ^.~ Anyway, in the movie, Frodo had dark, dark curly brown hair; gorgeous, bright, sapphire blue eyes; pale skin; and a small gap between his front teeth (C'mon, I can't have been the ONLY person who made fun of the 'Gap of Fro-han'. BAHAHAHAAAHAAAAAAA...Haaa...ha...*koff*). And of course, the movie Frodo had the other typical Hobbit stuff (hairy feet, short in stature, etc.)
Academic Stuff: Frodo was remarkably learned, being a song-writer and something of a scholar of Elvish lore and language. [Wheee! He's smart, AND good-looking! And ladies, HE'S SIIIINGLE~~~!)
Relationships: Click here, to read aaaaall about it! (Yes, yes. I *did* find it necessary to put relationships in its own section...XP)
History: When Frodo was just a child, his parents - Drogo and Primula - drowned while out boating on the Brandywine River, during a stay in Buckland. Thus Frodo was orphaned, then raised in Brandy Hall.
When he was somewhere in his tweens, his cousin Bilbo came along and asked Frodo to live with him in Bag End. Thus the two bachelors lived happily (and in the lap of luxury) for a while...UNTIL! *dun dun dun duuuun* (The following is from Realm of the Ring, since I'm too lazy to type it all up myself. :P)
In 3001, when Bilbo mysteriously left the Shire, Frodo inherited Bag End and the One Ring. In 3018, Gandalf the Wizard reappeared and set Frodo on the Quest of the Ring to Rivendell where the Fellowship of the Ring was formed. Frodo just survived the many adventures and perils of the journey, but succeded in delivering the One Ring to the fires of Mount Doom. Thus, Frodo brought about the end of the War of the Ring. After the war, he returned to Bag End, but the poison wounds and the mental trauma (muah, 'post-ring crazies' ^^) he experienced during the Quest began to tell.
In 3021, Frodo embarked on the Last Riding of the Keepers of the Rings, and boarded an Elven ship and sailed to the Undying Lands.
Other: Frodo has a great love for mushrooms - so much so, that when he was just a wee scamp (heh) in Brandy Hall, he would sneak over to Farmer Maggot's fields and steal some of the mushrooms there.
Stuff I Noticed in the Movie: Frodo was a klutz. He tripped/stumbled/fell all over the place, countless times.
Frodo cried alot. He sobbed whenever ANYTHING happen, which would get ME crying, since I felt so sorry for him (hey hey, I LOVED the scenes where he had the whole 'silent tears' thing going on. XP)
Frodo had very blue eyes. Which can only be attributed to a certain Mr. Elijah Jordan Wood. *_*
Frodo got stabbed in the chest all the time. Which, during my first viewing of the movie, made me cry...but during the second time, [don't kill me for this] made me laugh. *sleeps with one eye open*
Frodo made whimpery noises whenever he was stabbed in the chest. Very ENDEARING whimpery noises, nevertheless. And his eyes would go all bloodshot and he would breathe squeakily...awwww...*pat-pats Frodo*
Frodo had dirty hands/fingernails. Mind you, traveling for days in the wilderness would make ANYONE scuzzy...
