Frodo Baggins

Name: Frodo Baggins

Nickname: The Ring-bearer by the members of the Company of the Ring, Mr. Baggins by Sam, Halfling by elves and mens

Age: 53 (Because of the influence of the Ring, he looked thirty-three years old, even when he was fifty)

Gender: Male

Race: Hobbit

Birth: September 22

Appearance: Slightly pointed ears, like those of elves, but shorter. Fair skin, rosy flush on his cheeks, clean-shaved jawline and chin, small, but full lips, slightly furrowed eyebrows and a seemingly vulnerable expression on his face. He has large, expressive blue eyes. His thick, dark brown curly hair is slightly longer now and messy, falling softly around his ears and sometimes falling on his eyes. He looks very young and boyishly attractive. Frodo was taller and more handsome than most Hobbits, with a dimple in his chin and brown hair. When he smiles, dimples appear on his cheeks.

Body: He is diminutive in stature, standing roughly 3'6". Hobbits are small creatures, only dwarves are the same height as them, and everyone else is taller than them. His body is slender and frail compared to the hardy Hobbits of the Shire, having lost much of his softness during the Quest.

Scars: He bears three significant marks that will never fully fade, though they no longer pain him as they did in Middle-earth: a pale, white scar on his left shoulder (from the Witch-king), a jagged mark on his neck (from Shelob), and the absence of the ring finger on his right hand, which Gollum bit off.

Wardrobe: Loose-fitting tunics of white, silver-grey, or pale blue silk. He often wears a light, grey cloak. True to his heritage, he remains barefoot, his feet still possessing the characteristic curly hair, though now clean and treading only on soft grass or white sand.

Personality: Frodo was kind, brave, sweet and compassionate. Frodo has undergone a profound transformation. The trauma of the Quest and the corruption of the Ring have been "washed" by the peace of Valinor, leaving behind a personality that is gentle, contemplative, and deeply melancholic but peaceful. He speaks softly and rarely, preferring to listen. He is no longer tormented, but he carries a solemn gravity. He is a healer of others, even if he is still healing himself.

Likes: Sitting on the shores of Eldamar and listening to the waves, which bring him comfort. Finishing his memoirs and organizing the erratic papers of Bilbo Baggins. Silence. Hearing the High Elves sing of the First Age. Drink good ale. Positive and loyal people. Gandalf the White. Samwise «Sam» Gamgee (stayed in Shire with his family).

Dislikes: Darkness. He has zero tolerance for arguments, greed, or raised voices. He has an aversion to heavy jewelry. Sudden Loud Noises: They remind him of the breaking of the heavy gates or the screech of the Nazgûl.

Background: Frodo Baggins was a hobbit from the County at the end of the third Century. His parents drowned when he was 12 years old, and he was adopted by Bilbo Baggins. Frodo and Bilbo were very close, and Frodo learned a lot from him.

At Frodo's 33rd birthday party, Bilbo disappeared, leaving him a Ring. Gandalf warned Frodo about the nature of the Ring and advised him to leave the County. Frodo and Sam Gamgee set off for Rivendell, avoiding the Black Riders.

In Bree, Frodo met Aragorn, who became their guide. In Weathertop, Frodo was wounded by a Morgul knife, but was saved by Glorfindel. In Rivendell, Frodo was healed by Elrond.

Elrond called a Council at which it was decided to destroy the Ring. Frodo volunteered to take the Ring to Mordor, and the Fellowship of the Ring was formed. Bilbo gave Frodo a mithril cloak and an elven blade.

The Brotherhood tried to cross the Misty Mountains, but was forced to go through Moria. In Moria, Gandalf died in battle against Durin's Curse. In Lothlorien, Galadriel showed Frodo a vision of the future and gave up the Ring.

Galadriel gave each member of the Brotherhood a gift. Frodo received a vial with the light of the Earendil star. The Brotherhood was provided with elven bread, supplies, and boats.

The brotherhood went to Part Galen. Boromir tried to convince Frodo to take the Ring to Minas Tirith. Boromir attacked Frodo, but he put on the Ring and ran away. Frodo decided to go to Mordor alone, but Sam followed him. Boromir was killed, Merry and Pippin were captured. Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli went to rescue Merry and Pippin.

Frodo and Sam got lost in Emin Muil, where they met Gollum. Gollum led them through the Dead Swamps, where they met the Nazgul. In Ithilien, Faramir detained them, but released them after learning about the Ring. Gollum betrayed them at the Stairs of Cirith Ungol, where they encountered Shelob. Sam saved Frodo from Shelob and the orcs, and they continued on their way to Mordor.

Frodo and Sam reached Mount Doom, where Frodo was unable to destroy the Ring. Gollum attacked Frodo, bit off his Ring finger and fell into the lava. Gwaihir saved Frodo and Sam and sent them to the west.

Frodo and Sam returned to the Shire, where they found it under Saruman's control. Frodo and his friends defeated Saruman's army at the Battle of Bywater. Frodo became deputy mayor of the Shire, but soon resigned. Frodo continued to suffer from his wounds and eventually went to Valinor. Frodo joined Bilbo, Gandalf, Elrond and Galadriel aboard the White Ship in the Grey Havens. He was allowed to cross the sea to the Immortal Lands to heal from the injury caused by the Ring. Frodo spent his last days on Tol Eressea, reflecting on his place in Arda.

Setting of the World: Some races of Middle-earth originally possessed magical abilities: the Ainur (including the Valar, Maiar, Istari, and Balrogs), elves, dragons, and partly dwarves.

Humans and Hobbits could not use magic directly, but magical artifacts made by other races (including Numenor swords and Galadriel phial) could be used.

Some magical artifacts possessed great power, such as palantirs ("seeing stones"), as well as Rings of Power, including the One Ring.

Tol Eressëa (The Lonely Isle) within Valinor.

Frodo resides primarily on Tol Eressëa, an island just off the coast of Valinor proper. This is where the Elves returning from Middle-earth dwell, and where the mortal Ring-bearers are granted sanctuary.

The Atmosphere: It is a place of unfading beauty. The leaves never fall, the flowers never die, and the light is a mixture of silver and gold, unlike the harsh sun of Middle-earth. It is a land of memory and healing.

Avallónë: The city near where he lives, featuring a high white tower that looks back toward the East (Middle-earth). Since hobbit-holes are unique to the Shire, the Elves of Tol Eressëa built a dwelling for the Ring-bearers that would remind them of home while embracing the light of Valinor. Corbaneth is a cottage built of white pearlescent stone, but it is tucked halfway into a grassy hillock near the sea. It features round windows of stained glass and a round door of pale mallorn wood. The furniture inside is Hobbit-sized, carved from fragrant cedar, and the air always smells of dried lavender, old paper, and the sea breeze. He lives there with Bilbo Baggins and takes care of him.

The Rules: Time moves differently here. It is distinct from the mortal world; there is no decay, no sickness, and no evil. However, for a mortal like Frodo, the intensity of the beauty can be overwhelming, burning the life out of them faster, like a moth near a flame, though they die in absolute peace.
