Which Character do you Identify with the best?

[Orald]

I am curious to which characters from ME that people in this forum identify with the best, a ME litmus test if you will.

Now this is not your favorite, but who you feel you most resemble, so please post away.

[Elrian]

Ah, a dead elf. smilies/eek.gif smilies/eek.gif smilies/eek.gif

[amyrlis]

Durelen, this topic came up once before...here's what I said smilies/biggrin.gif :

I would have to say that I identify most with Eowyn. Being a woman in a (somewhat) man's world. Also, feeling the pain of un-requited love, but moving forward to find new happiness. She is a deep character who feels very real to me

But I would most like to be like Legolas. I love his demeanor and personality, his skill, and his loyalty. The war he is taking part in is not for the elves, win or lose, they will fade into the West. Never-the-less, Legolas fights tirelessly and valaintly.

[Orald]

i thought i remembered a similar topic but wasn't quite sure if it asked the same question or someone just took a tangent and it ended up like that.

Anyway, I forgot to mention who I thought I identified best with. I think Bombadil, when I am around my friends and family i am pretty ironic and very sarcastic(although it is very easy to miss if you don't know me)silly at times and rarely serious. I also have a large store of useless information just like Tom, which I often screw up. Many more comparisons, I don't really think I need to get into at the moment.

[Elanor]

I remember this topic too. I feel a bit like poor old Pippin - tries hard, often gets things wrong and makes a mess of things, out of his depth, not the brightest bulb in the box, but very well meaning and loves his friends.

What about all the recent newcomers?

[Eowyn of Ithilien]

Eowyn...but parts of me resemble Arwen and Galadriel too...can someone take the "recently turned into a corpse" part offff my name please :P
Eowyn is outwardly strong...but inwardly hurt...she loves an ideal until Faramir reveals what it is to love someone truly...the man not the enigma

[Elrian]

Welcome to the Barrow Eowyn of Ithilien!
Were all dead here, spooks of our former selves so to speak.

Without question, it's Shelob for me. "Man's world" indeed! Hah! It's my world, and don't you forget it, or I'll spray you with flesh-eating sinews and drag you off to my black hole!

Before you contradict, consider my solipsist view of the world and ask yourself if it's really worth the trouble.

[latando angaina]

Fatty Bolger definetely smilies/smile.gif

[Yavanna]

Oddly enough, Frodo...Can't say that I've saved the world (lately smilies/wink.gif ) but there are times that I feel like I see things and think about things that alienate me from the more jovial around me. But when it comes down to it, I can get my grub on and sing bath songs with the best of them!

And the elves, any of them. But alas, another boring story.... smilies/tongue.gif

[latando angaina]

er, any of them, indeed? even Maeglin, or, maybe even Curufin also smilies/wink.gif

smilies/smile.gif smilies/smile.gif smilies/smile.gif

[shieldmaiden]

I am female and I have suicidal thoughts so it must be Eowyn. Not many women to choose from.

Ok, you got me, not just any elf... A cool elf, how about that? smilies/wink.gif

[latando angaina]

yes, er, cool elves are... cool smilies/biggrin.gif

[Maeglin]

Ofcourse it's boring but I really identify my self with Frodo. He carries the burdon to dark countries where danger awaits.
That's how I feel sometimes. smilies/frown.gif

However, I'm NOT walking around sad all my time and then i feel more like Maeglin, somehowe smilies/tongue.gif.

[Kin-strife]

I identify most with that fox that came upon the company sleeping in the woods in "three is company" because of his incredible insignificance. Or perhaps Pippin because he's fond of beer. But more seriously Ilùvatar because I am god.

[Eowyn of Ithilien]

ohhhhhh no I've given Elrian an idea
LEAVE THE POOR MORTALS ALONE
smilies/wink.gif

[Alaitioc]

I'd say a male elf bowman.Only because sometimes my friends say I look like an elf (in a nice way :-)) and I do archery. Also because I do not have THAT many friends, just a few close ones.

[jdraper]

I'm probably like one of thranduil's wood-elves, untrusting, with dark locks, and I'm pretty damn cool! smilies/evil.gif
SEE YEZ!

[Yenwyn]

All my life I'm breaking between Eowyn and Merry. To be honest, Eowyn is whom I'd rather like to be like. Merry is more what I really AM.

...Well, he's cynical and dark from time to time (lol, VERY dark, he just doesn't show his feelings). On the other hand, people call him 'Merry' and not without a reason. He IS merry, really, or better, he makes other people so. Um, sarcasm can be funny, don't you think?

Brave when it's needed...

From time to time feeling all alone and depressive (um, remember the ride of the Rohirrim?)

So...that's my life...shortyl. smilies/cool.gif

[Narsil13]

I think perhaps Boromir, I see in him human failings and judgements clouded by passion and ambission. Hes mortal and has always stood out in my readings as my favorite.

I love his bravery and frailty, his want to do good and his final doom that reminds me of our mortality.

Boromir.

[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

I think I identify most with Pippin, even though I am a girl. I think this because I try to do things well, but I always screw up and make a fool of myself. Example:
My Dad: Zaelia,(not my real name)Are you deaf?!
Me:What? [blushes at what I just said without thinking, and tries to hide under the table]
I also tend to get myself into trouble. smilies/smile.gif I'm not the best behaved kid in the world smilies/smile.gif
I learn the hard way, usually by getting grounded smilies/tongue.gif
I think I also just have the personality of a hobbit: doesn't like change usually, I have a general love of life... But like Pippin, I wouldn't say "no" to an adventure.

[silme-ranaa]

as much as i'd like to resemble somebody wiser, i'd have to admit that i resemble the fool of a Took himself.Just as silly and careless.

[Lush]

Although I am a girl, my flawed character, and my need to comfort, lead me to identify with Boromir. And as it's been said before, Pippin, who has a taste for beer, is close to my heart as well. smilies/wink.gif
Still, Galadriel, as portrayed by Cate Blanchett, strangely enough, reminded a few of my friends of me, as they told me after seeing the movie. Maybe it has something to do with my complexion, my eyes, or the way I am when I am mad. Go figure.
-Lush

[MaryChristmas]

I think I identify most with Sam, even though I'm a girl (and I like animals better than plants) I am extremely loyal to my friends, and I would love to really truly meet an elf smilies/wink.gif

I'm new btw (though I'm sure you've all noticed that)

[Eriol]

Cant decide..... Legolas Greenleaf or Aragorn (as King Elessar)

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Frodo.

My life is similar to his, believe it or not. I was faced with a choice between losing everything, my home, my job, my family, my friends, to help those who would never thank me for it, would in fact hate me. There was no reason for me to take action, except that it was the only right thing I could do. It was the only thing that was right, it would neutralize to a large degree a sociopath.

I was told by my allies "wow, you're brave - don't mention my name." I wish I had Sam frankly!

Of course there was no ring or cracks of doom, instead it involved the police, the FBI, the IRS, the States Attorney, two magazine articles and a book to keep people out of a really bad situation. I understand those who read my story find themselves cheering for me, that's what the author said, but for myself I was just quietly going forward knowing full well the price I would pay. I couldn't even admit for one moment that I didn't want to, because even that would weaken my resolve too much.

Didn't save the world, it concerned about 75 people give or take. Not that they know it, or that it matters if they do. I find I don't care, because I knew going in that wasn't relevant. Even if it hadn't worked it's about doing the right thing at any cost, you see? Not even the hope of success.

Now it's over, and I find that despite my happy peaceful life now, there are some wounds that don't heal. Like Frodo I automatically expected I could carry on where I left off after all was said and done and find that's not true. Probably Tolkien knew that from his own life. I don't regret a thing, and would do the same (though it would be a lot harder knowing in advance what it would be like!) But still, you can't go through something like that and not be fundamentally changed. I know firsthand Frodo was quietly very happy he passed the test of his courage and heart, happy to see others safe, but he was tired, like I am. And to explain why, well, it's rather heavy now isn't it? He didn't want the attention because it was another burden, and too much. Trouble is, once you've passed one major moral test, there a thousand little ones to follow and you just want to rest. Escape for a while.

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Hi Lush!
No actually, I thought you'd be bored "yeah-yeah-yeah, another windy post Maril smilies/rolleyes.gif - who I identify with is..!"

The simple version: I brought down a rich and powerful "bad guy," a dangerous wacko. And scared the **** out of the States Attorney.

[ December 26, 2001: Message edited by: Marileangorifurnimaluim ]

[Lush]

It's about time someone started scaring the &%$# out of attorneys! They have too long a history of scaring the %$#@ out of us!
All kidding asie, you did a brave thing. I have felt firsthand the devastation that occure when rich, powerful bad guys run the show. We need more people like you, in all parts of the world, especially where I come from.
I guess in what you did, the comparison between you and Frodo is appropriate. Although I'm sure you are a bit taller. smilies/smile.gif

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

hahahahahahahaha! Taller? Actually no! Frodo and I would see eye to eye, or close to it. I certainly couldn't see over the top of Pippin's head were he blocking my view. But I'm not solid enough to make a hobbit of any kind - or ent despite the long nomme de guerre.

But I was thinking less of the circumstances and more of just understanding the mindset, especially after all is said and done.

-Maril

PS, in all fairness the States Attorney was a decent guy: "You've really stirred up a hornets nest. Do you know how many lawyers I'm dealing with - everyone has one! Even witnesses. Isn't anyone one on your side?" Leaned back, smiling: "Nope." He shook his head in disbelief. "What I'm worried about is your safety, more than anything else."

Funny I said anything. I usually don't talk about it, no one at work knows a thing. Anonymity I guess.

[ December 27, 2001: Message edited by: Marileangorifurnimaluim ]

[shireGirl]

I haven't read the books in a few years and just started again this week. So, I feel a little hasty answering before all the characters are clear in my mind. But Marin sparked a connection for me, between myself and Frodo.

I feel most like Frodo when he is about 1/4 of the way through the journey. He started off innocent and unproved but still aware of life outside his dwellings (at least more that Pippin or Merry, due to Bilbo's and Gandalf's influence). Then he began to complete some the journey and he realized how little he truly knew and how small each of his strides were. At the same time, he gained the knowledge that although his strides were short, they were also meaningful as long as they took him towards his goal.

That's where I am now. I may be a small part of a vast universe but I will find my way.

[Mithadan]

It's about time someone started scaring the &%$# out of attorneys!

Careful Lush! You may offend Wights in high places! smilies/wink.gif

Maril, sounds like a story I'd like to hear also.

Who do I relate to most? Hmmmm. Maybe Cirdan, doing my part in my own way while watching the world turn.

Indeed, I haven't been here a week, and I am already jumping down people's throats! Nothing to be proud of, of course, but sometimes it's hard to keep the conversation going without a little offensive material. I guess I am no Hobbit in that regard then... smilies/smile.gif

[Imperica]

I identify with Sauron the best. Beacause I want to take over the world.

[Lush]

Eeek! We should lock you up at once then! smilies/smile.gif...I'm actually quite curious about how one would feel after having taken over the world. Probably a little more than elated at first, but then the problems witll start: Keeping power, and keeping oneself from boredom (an ambitious person, having control of the world, will have nothing left to aspire to!). I wouldn't want Sauron's job.

[Evil Anya]

Glad to see so many women here! I think I probably identify with Frodo the most, I feel kind of alientated from everyone around me and I can't explain it, even to my friends. I feel very much like I will always be alone no matter who I am with. I also identify with Eowyn's sadness. However, when I'm in better spirits I feel like Pippin, if only because of being accident prone and having a love of beer.

[Airetelluma]

I'd have to go with Merry for myself, although I'd much rather be a lovely elf. smilies/smile.gif Merry, though, was far more complicated than he originally seemed, which is definitely me. Plus, he seemed happy-go-lucky and dense at times most of the time, but he actually proved to be insightful and quite intelligent, which (I hope, at least) is me. Plus he's a fan of food, and is fallible, yet capable of doing great things. He was terrified of the Nazgul on the battlefield in Gondor and hid for a moment or two, yet managed to stab it. He had hidden courage, and that's something that I also believe I have.

Although there's also quite the Pippin in me; I tend to trip and spill things and say the wrong thing at the wrong time and make a general *** of myself. *grins*

Now that I've talked more about myself than anyone probably wanted to hear, I'll shut myself up. Oh, and hello! I'm new. smilies/smile.gif

Hmm Aragorn, cause Im tall and courageous and well... maybe im just a fat Aragorn. LOL

I'm a girl but I can identify most with Samwise Gamgee. He's loyal and would die for a friend. I am like that.

Well, I really dont think that Im much like any of the charactors. Must of them have qualties that I have, and many have qualties that I wouldn't want to have. All in all I really dont know which one I identify with best. But I would love to be like Aragorn, a powerful, wise, and compassionate man.

[Nevfan]

I identify with all of them in some way, but mostly with the elves, and their knowledge and at the same time, especially with Legolas (my opinion) his naievity of the world, and at the same time (again my feelings) his childish nature but maturity and quick temper all at the same time.

[Alkanoonion]

I identify most with Legolas; He is Noble, proud and treats all the companions with love and respect. Also he is strong, clever and compassionate. Legolas represents all the things that I would like aspire to. smilies/smile.gif

[Joy]

I guess that I fell that I am most like Aragorn, even though I am a woman. The things that I see are:
When Strider is mending Frodo wounds after the stabbing in WeatherTop.
After Moria, Strider totes out Frodo with care, for fear that he is dead.
Mending Sam and Frodo's wounds after Moria
The Houses of Healing
His humilty when being crowned
His mercy towards the people
His strenght in battle

There are more that I could put, my best friends says that I match Aragorn to her more than any character. But I say that I am more like Pippin, I seem to say things at the wrong time, even though everything works out right, it seems awkward at the moment.

[Callaedriel]

I am not sure who i identify the most yet because i just started reading the Two Towers. I really like Legolas *blush* but i cant identify with him anyways. he s too perfect.

I would think i identify with pippin. even tho i m a woman smilies/smile.gif becuase i always make mistakes. And i like beer. smilies/wink.gif

And oh, Boromir, as well. Everyone one of us have flaws.

Actually no, I am a minister. I love to help people who are sick in body, mind or spirit. I have done counsulling many times, esp. young girls who have eating disorders or have been abused. I have even worked with several older women who have come from abusive relationships. All counsulling I have done has been for free. The Scripture says, "Freely you have received, freely give (Matt 10: 8).

[Chica Bolger]

Hello Sam, thanku smilies/biggrin.gif

[Nuinrog]

I would be Fingolfin! Valiant, strong, and can lead a large group of people. I also like Noldor Elves because, well, they were the greatest Elves EVER! And challenging Morgoth takes guts. And injuring him 7 times and cutting his leg off is just badarse! I was kinda sad when he died though. smilies/frown.gif

[Dinagariel]

I mostly identify with Legolas. He is compassionate, brave and loyal, but he also carries a sadness about what is happening to his world.
Plus I'd be quite happy to spend my days in Rivendell, Mirkwood or Lorien smilies/biggrin.gif

[Narya]

I identify with Eowyn the most, but there´s also much of Pippin in me.
There´s something in almost every character that i identify with, but i think if i´d be someone from LoTR i would be Eowyn.i am a girl and in real life i often feel like her.
But i could compare myself with Frodo, too.

[Glenethor]

Gandalf the White. I have fought my own subterranean battles with my own internal Balrogs, and came out stronger. I don't like wielding power over others, but will do so if absolutely necessary. I don't think I can be bought, or seduced by power. I know more about how the world works than most, and I am still reasonably sane and compassionate. I have bushy eyebrows and twinkly blue eyes that can kindle in both mirth and anger. I also like my pipeweed...

[Daegwenn]

I would have to say that I identify most with Eowyn. Being a woman in a (somewhat) man's world.


I live on an army base and will be going into the army as soon as I graduate which is in ohhh...*counts on her fingers and toes* around four and a half months...I guess I could identify with Eowyn.

~~Daegwenn

[LightningSword]

I find myself as an elf, though I don't know wich one.

[Alchrivëwen]

*sighs* I have NO idea who im like

[the_master_of_puppets]

i think i am most like pippin: due to the fact im prone to doing the wrong thing at the wrong time (eg in moria) or doing things u know ur not meant to (such as taking the palantir after orthanc). plus the fact my sense of humor seems to be similar.

oh and billy boyds a scot to, so theres another common ground smilies/tongue.gif

[Raefindel]

Oh, I know, Gotta be Bombur! smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/evil.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[Anarya SilverBranch]

I'm probably more like Legolas in female form(: Because I LOVE the woods. If it was summer weather year round I'd live in the woods, and I am serious! Also because I only speak when I have to and it says in the lord of the rings that Legolas is sort of a fast runner and I run track so thus my reasons!

[Arwen Imladris]

Hmmm... This is a good question. I don't really know. Kind of like Arwen because I have dark hair, in fact, my parents almost called me Arwen (They are LOTR fans too) but they thought it would be too wierd. I am also not as beautiful as Arwen was. I am kind of like a hobbit because I am short. Maybe like Rosie Cotton because I have never really had any big adventures.

My favorite character is Frodo. I feel so sorry for him, he gets soo much pity. I also like legolas, just because he is an elf and can do so many cool things.

[Starbreeze]

Mixed feelings here: my friends reckon I'm an elf, most likely a young Galadriel (before she turned green a scary) and all the "tests" I've doen say I'm an elf, but I think that I'm more like Pippen myself.

[Gorin Icearms]

Most likely Farmer Maggot. What's mine is mine, and I'll sic my dogs on you if you take what's mine. smilies/biggrin.gif But a nice guy once you get on his good side.

[Starbreeze]

This is really interesting to read! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Orogaerion]

lets see...

I dont think i can choose oly one person,
so lets see

I am clumsy like pippin
i am fond of food like only hobbits are
but i am big and like ro fight (wouldnt mind if i had to go to war i ME)
wich resembles to Boromir
but i like littrature like elves and is as stubborn as a dwarf

but i think that i am some mixture of Elrond and Boromir

[Pips]

It's rather hard to say, for me. I don't really know, I suppose if I had to say, it would be split between Frodo and Sam. Odd I know, but I have my reasons.

Such as being the one pillar of strenght my family had when my sister was killed a car crash, though I grived, HARD. She was the one person that knew me best.

And it's hard thing to think about. We'd had this awful argument the week before on the phone and were still fuming when it happened. She was killed by a truck driver, who had been doing drugs. Hit head on.

For a long time, I didn't want to go on, but well, forced myself to keep going. Even though I knew it could and would never be the same again. But here I am, still going, and making something of myself. I know she'd be proud, as I was proud of her. What I'm trying to say is, it's easy to give up, to throw everything away and quit, but it's harder to go on, but in the end, you'll make it.

[Aosama, the Wandering Star]

Definetly Pippin! I'm usually the youngest of all my friends, having a late birthday, so I can identify with Pip, since we're both a little apt to doing the wrong things and saying the wrong things at the wrong time! I see him as someone who has someone to prove, and so do I. But Pippin is irrepressible, something I'd like to be!

"Mr. Frodo, sir!" cried Sam, quaking. "Don't let him hurt me, sir! Don't let him turn me into anything unnatural! My old dad would take on so. I meant no harm, on my honour, sir!

[Kalimac]

Pips, I'm so sorry about that. That must have been (must still be) a horrible thing to live through. Can definitely see where Sam would be the model there.

For me, it's Pippin; a little too inquisitive for my own good sometimes, and a talent for getting into trouble way over my head when traveling; for him, the burned hand (metaphorically) taught best and for me it was the (literally) scarred hand. Another story for another time...

[Starbreeze]

Personally, I think that there is a little of each of the characters in each of us.
We all have a weakness like Boromir, that we fall to occasionally.
We all have a gentle side like Legolas.
We all have rough side like Aragorn.
We all have a sneeky side like Gollum.

I think you get the general idea! smilies/biggrin.gif

[KingCarlton]

I would say that I possess the single-mindedness of the Uruk-hai or even the cave troll...ha ha smilies/tongue.gif

[ArwenBaggins]

Im most like Pippin. I am always funny and not-so bright. I always look at the bright side of things

o... and im cute like Pip :P

[Ms. Took]

i'm another pippin. I'm the youngest, i have a nasty tendency to do the wrong thing at the wrong time, and i'm never entirely sure what is going on. I'm usually the one saying "where are we going?"

[LadyMerry]

Im most like Merry...I'm loyal and stuff, but I have my stupid moments....and I'm a happy person...so yea.....But i guess I'm also a lot like Pip cuz I'm kinda ditzy....lol smilies/biggrin.gif

[Vinyacairwen]

I think I identify to Aragorn & Galadriel (and they are also my favorite characters...I like characters I can relate too O.o).

[Fingo]

I'm another Pippin, i hate to admit. (I like to be different) I tend to say random and witty things like Pippin, I tend to be overly curious to try new things ( I chewed fish flavored gum one time just to see how it tasted. DO NOT TRY THAT AT HOME! And I like the dirt flavored Jelly Beans) and I like food. I eat alot! Bein a Pippin is not so bad. He is my favorite character after all, but sometimes it would be nice to be a Sam, humble and loyal and loving and brave! But I agre with Star Breeze; there's a little bit of everyone in everyone, if you take my meaning, that is.... smilies/biggrin.gif

[MYyyPreciousSS]

I would say I'm like Eowyn because 1. I'm female and 2.On the outside i'm strong, but hurt inside. Also I'm a little bit of Arwen, because she's an elf, which are very close with nature, like me and because of her love. Also I'm a little of Pippen, also because he's such a fool. I'm like Sam too, because i'm loyal to my friends and i'm shy.
Most of all though, i'm like Frodo. (I even took a LotR personality test, and thats who I was, and as it said smilies/smile.gifLike Frodo, I'm committed to relationships and thier growth. I tend to be an idealist. While being compasstionate yet can sometimes be "over emotional". I can even be somewhat sadistic but am always looking to the furture. It sounds dumb as i'm writing this, but if you knew me it would make sense and I know I wrote a lot of people, but thats me, i'm a lot of different personalitys at once.

P.s. Sorry if I bore you to death... smilies/smile.gif smilies/wink.gif

[Arod]

I can relate to Sam best. The reason is that he is an ordinary guy, assisting a friend and going to the ends of the earth while risking his life for a quest that was not his to bear. He could've said no. He could've but he didn't. Sam wasn't the wisest or event the strongest of the Fellowship but he was the most loyal. Believing that above all his friendship with Frodo was worth risking his life and that his friend need not carry that burden alone if he didn't have to. I guess I just have a strong connection to those who are close friends. Though I have few, they are like precious jewels. They are not perfect, and have flaws, but they are worth the world to those who know their true value.

[Sindafalathiel]

I am most like Gollum
I have this way of walking up stairs that is golllum-like
I LOVE fish
And the clincher: I had this fake one ring off a bookmark(at least I think it was fake), and the first day of school in the new year, it fell off it's chain, and I lost it. IT BETRAYED ME!

[Carrûn]

Hrm...I think I identify with a lot of the traits of Boromir, desiring to do good but maybe not always seeing the "big picture." I would say I have some of the characteristics of an elf, I'm usually pretty good at guessing what people are thinking. Actually one of my friends did accuse me of reading her thoughts, but that's another story. I don't think I really relate to Aragorn much, but I identify with "Strider."

So basically I'm all jumbled and don't really identify with anyone in particular. Maybe I'm a wraith or something.

[gilraën]

The personality test says Aragorn

I try to the right thing but don't always manage it, I use my hands to heal (aromatherapist) and would fight to the death to protect my family, enough said. smilies/smile.gif

[Airerûthiel]

I would probably say Éowyn or Aragorn, as we are quite similar in personality. My resemblance to Éowyn is that I'm female and have unrequited love, but I'm also trapped in a frustrating situation where, like Éowyn, I can't do the things I want to do. My resemblance to Aragorn is that I quite like my own company and a lot of people I know describe me as being a 'leader'.

[Lumiel]

Hmm...well, I think I'm a mix of several characters, such as Eowyn and Arwen and a little of Frodo, I best associate with Merry.

I always liked him and I agree with his outlook on life and his courage in danger. He's a great guy smilies/biggrin.gif

Although at times I'm schizophrenic like Gollum lol ^_^;

[Alaggaeriel]

I think I'm most like Sam. I'm not really brave or outspoken, but mess with my friends or family and watch out! I'm not a leader but will follow and help friends or family till the end. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Jian]

i identify most with Aragorn. not being what i want to be because of fear or anger, loving someone far away, and being honorable are all traits i have that Aragorn does as well. i'm also a swordsman

[luin'loki]

Oddly enough,I'm like Legolas,but I'm a girl.I'm tall,Got long blonde hair(only darker,like a deep golden blonde),got the naturally pointy ears(NATURAL!!NOT FAKE!),I'm light-footed(except on snow),super acute hearing and good eyesight.

But sometimes I'm like Pippin.I'm always trying my best,knocking stuff down by accident,getting in trouble,and always ready for an adventure.

(Notice how I got a crazy person and a strong, silent type?Weird!)

[Aredhelaran]

It changes throughout the day. I start out as a troll when I wake up, become a nice little hobbit in the morning, and then maybe an orc once I've had too much caffeine. Seriously, I think I am most like Aragorn, despite the personality test which says that I am like Arwen (an insult to a male like me, if I didn't like her so much).

[Diamond18]

After reading through the 3 pages of this thread it seems that Pippin is the character most people identify themselves with. There must be a deep psychologically telling meaning behind it. Is it because we tend to put ourselves down, saying we're foolish and screw-ups and all that? Would other people who know us well agree with our self assessment? I wonder... *ponders*

Well, I'm another Pippin; I'm a little of both Pippin and Merry. I'm a Took: being very hobbity in that I'm a terrible homebody, but I have a spark of that Tookishness that keep me from being a total adventure-phobe. I know Pippin's foolishness backwards and forewards. But what I identify with most, is all the times Merry and Pippin feel small and lonely and out of their league. Frodo and Sam have a strong purpose, but Merry and Pip often feel like they came along for nothing. Though in the book they planned the whole thing out and conspired with Sam to go along, they still felt like "what am I doing here?" quite a bit. Especially Merry on the way to Gondor with the Rohirrim, and Pippin feeling bad after dropping the stone and stealing the Palantír. But then they can also be jolly and carefree better than anyone else, and provide welcome levity to the dark and foreboding storyline! Those two are far more complex characters than they get credit for. smilies/tongue.gif

[peonydeepdelver]

I'd have to say Pippin, because I'm the second youngest of all my cousins (my bro's the youngest) and they all act like I'm only 8 or something (I'm 14)! smilies/mad.gif

[Lady Iverin]

Hmmm... well, I took a quiz once and it said that I am most like Arwen. But I feel more like Eowyn, nothing in her life is really going right. And, she falls in love w/ a heartbreaker. *sniff* (But I'm not saying that Aragorn's mean.) smilies/frown.gif smilies/wink.gif

[the witch king]

Ar-Pharazon, just think iv got abit of a problem with pride and i think if i was in his position i would have attacked Aman to!

[Laialthriel]

Hmmm, off the top of my head, I think I'm most like Frodo. But definitely with some Tookishness in the mix. I guess I can identify with his situation of being put into a leadership position whether he liked it or not, in a fight he didn't necessarily want to be in, but he went for it with his whole being behind it.

But yet again, I have the stubbornness of Gimli (do I ever) and the aggressiveness of Legolas or Aragorn. Sheesh, I don't know, put all of the personalities in a blender and there you have it: me!

Well I was going to try and be clear and to the point about describing myself, but I really don't think that's possible when talking about my personality.

[LadyElbereth]

I think I'm most like Merry. I'm loyal, trustworthy and can be pretty silly at times, but when something needs to be done I'm all for being serious and doing it.

I also think that Boromir is someone I can relate to. He's strong, brave, and loyal to his people. He's human, so he's not perfect and makes mistakes, but he has a good heart.

[Yavanna Kementari]

I think I am most like ME! (lol) Of course Yavanna Kementari. I have alot of friends tell me that I have a pure heart and that I am a good person, also very wise smilies/smile.gif That makes me feel good smilies/smile.gif I am also a mother, a teacher and I am also a very srtong spiritual person.

It is good to be a Valier smilies/smile.gif I have a lot of responsibilities, that FEW could joggle on a daily basis. Some people look up to me and I must maintain a holy aspect and do the right things so that I don't have to say "Do as I say not as I do!" Jesus said " I do as I see my Father in Heaven do." Thats powerful to me, because I have children watching me all the time! So I try to do as Jesus would have me do! I am not prideful with the power that I weild, I am just and fair, and I always give people the benefit of the doubt.


I love green things and anything that grows or lives in a tree ( I have plants and trees in almost every room! smilies/smile.gif) I have a real "green thumb" so to speak. And I care deeply about the living world around me and our Eco-system. I have been adopted by a small parrot ( a Sun Conure to be exact) named Cicero. smilies/smile.gif He reminds me of how important my trees are smilies/wink.gif

I think I am much like Yavanna in fact I would love to make a hybrid of a magnolia and a white birch tree( if thats possible).
It would look like Telperion!! Okay thats enought about me smilies/smile.gif -(~<~>Yavanna

[Dondagnirion]

I would definetly say that I identify with Gimli the most. I am even short but still strong and well-built. I am good with my hands and I do complain a bit but when something goes down there is no one better to have at your side. I am also (or so I have been told smilies/smile.gif .) as stubborn as Gimli is, and as proud of himself as Gimli is. My best friend, oddly enough, is also quite a bit like Legolas, and our friendship quite a bit like theirs. We jab at eachother now and then but are hanging out together quite often and always try to help eachother out.

[Tate Aisling]

Well, when I took the personality tester it said I was most like Frodo. Don't know how I got that. Instead of traveling to Mt. Doom to destroy the One Ring I would have passed it on to another Hobbit whether they liked it or not. =^.^=;; I'm not a leader either. =-.-=;;

The tester said I was also a lot like Sam. Now THAT I can see! I'm always loyal to my friends. Heck, I beat up two of the Demon Boys on my street all the time when they tried to make trouble for my friends and/or family. I do believe I chased one of them around with a mop handle too...=^.^=;; Anyhoo, now they don't cause my friends any trouble.

[Cibbwin]

I definitley have a bit of Merry and Pip in me, as well, I can be foolish and not think at times. Everyone is like that sometimes.
