Here's the new character I'm introducing as the nursemaid for the twins:

Name: Gilliflower Took (Gilly) – the twin’s nursemaid

Age: 20

Race: Hobbit

Appearance: Average height for a Hobbit lass of her age. Dark brown curly hair, pulled back, and out of her way. Brown eyes, flecked with green. Given to borrowing her brother’s breeches and shirts when she’s out and about hiking the country around Waymeet.

Personality/Skills: A bright young woman, with a good sense of humor, not averse to stirring up a little trouble in a good natured way, ready and willing for any opportunity to 'see the world' outside the confines of Waymeet. Because she comes from a large family and is the eldest, she is very skilled at taking care of children – from infants to teens. Her only skills with weapons are her small carving knife, and her stout beechwood walking stick.

History: Eldest child of 12. Father - Everard Took; Mother – Mentha Brandybuck. From Waymeet, Westfarthing, The Shire. Since early childhood has had a great love for any stories concerning travels beyond the confines of her town or the Shire Bounds. She has always had the urge to leave the confines of her family and town and seek a little adventure and knowledge of the wider world. She has in fact left her family after a long, heated argument over her acceptance of Amaranthas’ proposal to come to Bywater to care for Pio's twins. She is pinning her hopes on being able to travel with Pio and Mithadan when they leave the Shire to return to Gondor. The thought of sailing on their ship with them is a secret desire of hers (She has learned much about Pio from Miz Amaranthas’ letters to her.)
