My favorite was Butterbur in FoTR. He reminds me so much of myself. =-)

In the book the Fellowship of the ring Elladan and Elrohir are my favorites [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Arwen... well, she was small in the books... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Anywho, my real favorite small character (small, in a manner of speaking) is Quickbeam.

i prefer elladan and elrohir, i don't know why, probably cuz they're the sons of elrond and they're TWINS! it will be hard for those who don't know them personally to separate those twins!

Ringannunwen · 10-22-2002, 11:51 PM

Elladan. definetly.
oh, and Lindir had an even smaller part.
most people don't know who he is.

Long ago I conceived a liking for Ioreth's kinswoman - she's so minor she doesn't even have a name, but she put up with an awful lot considering how little space she actually gets in the book. As an example of everyday quasi-saintly patience combined with a sense of humor (she must have had one not to make Ioreth quiet down), commend me Ioreth's kinswoman.

I think I like Nob the best. I always liked reading the little bit about him, and he seems like a neat character to get to know better.

See ya,

Would Arwen count?? If not, Rosie Cotton. She had a pretty small part. And hers and Sam's daughter, Elanor.
Arwen

TolkienGurl · 10-25-2002, 01:31 PM

Sam's gaffer! Arwen Undomiel! Rose Cotton! Glorfindel! The Hobbit who says "ProudFEET!"

Arwen Imladris · 10-25-2002, 01:49 PM

Arwen, Nob or Rose. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Arwen1858 · 10-25-2002, 02:00 PM

Would the hobbit who says ProudFEET be old Odo Proudfoot?

gollum*elf*pup · 10-25-2002, 02:06 PM

I liked Nob and Bill the pony! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] He sounded so cute.

TolkienGurl · 10-25-2002, 02:13 PM

Yeah Arwen1858. I was too lazy to remember or look it up. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Sapphire_Flame · 10-25-2002, 02:36 PM

Okay, this is a little different, but my favorite small parts are: 1) Those two orcs that Frodo and Sam see when they are crossing the Plain of Gorgoroth, and 2) The orc that Sam scares away when he's in Cirith Ungol. Not a lot of people like orcs for some reason. I can't think why...

Saurreg · 10-26-2002, 08:06 AM

If you would consider Gil-galad a small character in the LOTR series, then he'll be it.

My favourite small character is Mablung from the Sil. I liked the way he handled the Saeros/Turin fiasco and his unwaiving sense of duty and spirit of chivalry.
