Lonely Star: Fanfiction/RPG discussion

[Child of the 7th Age]

CHILD'S GENERAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

This is not meant for word-for-word inclusion in the fanfiction, just to give a sense of who Child is. Some of this data is slightly different than what I wrote in the RPG, so I'll have to do revisions.

My next task is to work on the piece of the story where Child finds the sea-hobbit information and decides to seek out Mithadan to find her lost kin.

For Child's past history, click on the thread which appears at the very end of this post.

By the way, the Brockhouses of Coombe, their friendship with Bilbo and their supposed ties to the Tooks, along with niece Angelica Baggins, appear in Return of the Shadow.

Here's a bit more on Child:

Age: 50
Appearance: brown curls streaked with grey which are held back by a ribbon; short and stocky; brown skin. A typical Harfoot except for the grey eyes which hearken back to that hidden Tookish strain.

Personality: Although very "hobbitlike" in outward appearance and habits, Child's personality has elements which seem strangely "Elvish". See #1-4 below.

1. Polite and with a decent sense of humor, but more reflective than the average kuduk.
2. Very observent of her surroundings except when she's dreaming, which initially occurs far too often.
3. Again, as the story begins, Child lives more in the past than the present. For her, the Star's most important lesson will be that, ironically, she must return to the past in order to learn how to live more fully in the present.
4. Child has occasional dreams and visions in which she outwardly puts little stock. How she feels inwardly is another matter.
5. Quiet with strangers, but a veritable font of words with those whom she knows well.
