Which character are you most like??

Frodo -- erudite, thoughtful, insightful
Aragorn -- patient, long-planning, leader
Gandalf -- wise, "actor behind the scenes"
Pippin -- intuitive, merry, carefree
Faramir -- erudite, insightful, romantic
Eowyn -- wilful, romantic, "caged"
Galadriel -- leader, wise, strong, insightful
Sam -- humble, trusting, steadfast
Saruman -- calculating, "ends before means"
Boromir -- strong-willed, self-confident, faithful

What of Merry? Or Bilbo? And the many others a person can be like?
But in any case I'm most like that lovable Hobbit, Pippin. Though there's a bit of Sam in me too. But every now and again I get in that "crush the people, take over the world" type of mood that fits Sauron.

Durelin · 07-20-2005, 06:49 PM

I'm an Eowyn. I like to brood and ogle scruffy 80 year old men.

*coughs*

I'm like Arwen. I prefer to sit at home doing needlework while everyone else is rushing about, saving the world.

Meela · 07-21-2005, 05:45 AM

I think I'm closest in likeness to Eowyn.

Holbytlass · 07-21-2005, 05:57 AM

Mostly Sam with a bit of Pip.

Elrowen Tinúviel · 08-20-2005, 09:23 PM

I am most like Eowyn... (If using your descriptions) also a lot like Boromir, Faramir, Luthien, and Aragorn.

Aside from who you put up there..... I am alot like Eomer, Legolas, and Elrohir (from the books!) and also have things in common with Arwen.

I know I would like to be more interestingly bizzare of origin and make-up, but in real life I am indeed most like Bilbo.

My family (my mother's at least...) can't wait until you die, so they can steal your left-overs. Seriously, when my great-grandfather on my mother's side passed on, someone stole a set of silver spoons. Yes, even if you have a Will, it really does no help because everyone just takes what they really want anyway.

Another thing is my constant distancing away from my family, or selected members of my family. My mother and father's families are quiet different, and not too friendly to each other.

Yes, if you are wondering, I have found a cousin who most proably will become my 'Frodo'. They are such a darling...

Anyone notice that there is only one point of difference between Frodo and Faramir? I wondered why I tried to pick between them! I'd peg Frodo as somewhat of a romantic in a different sense than Faramir--a kindred soul, as it were, but aware of the unreachability of the romantic ideal, content to be a simple soul. Wizard's pupils, both of 'em! Children of Gandalf! Pippin, too! But I guess I'm not really going into which character I am most like, mainly because there's a bit of several of them in me, even Eowyn, although I am not likely to seek death in battle or ogle "scruffy, 80 year old men!" (Good one, Durelin!)

Perhaps I'll just have to go with Frodo, especially in the lone, Shire-tromping mode. If only I could find a Bilbo to go with me! Not even the younger folk can keep up with me!

And I've only stolen a paw paw, not mushrooms (too dangerous around here!)

Cheers!

Me? Out of that list I'm more or less like Frodo, more probably. But i do have the mix of Sam and Pippin in there which only comes out certain times. My Pippin mood has been coming out more lately though.
