++Gimli
Because Turin has always reminded me, very strongly, of Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melnibone, only more depressing, and I'm trying to get into a holiday mood, what with the snow falling outside and all.
Also, because I liked the Song of Durin Gimli sang in Moria. It was the second of Tolkien's poems I set to music, and I've always liked it -- and the fact that in such a dark and dangerous place, Gimli, of all people, decided to sing. I was also touched by Gimli's (book, that is) understated but nonetheless open grief at the loss of Balin, as well as his willingness to set aside a long-engrained grudge against Elves for a rather chivalrous love of Galadriel. And I liked that he, like some of the hobbits, was not too proud to show fear in dreadful circumstances (like the Paths of the Dead). Though I wouldn't call him one of my favorite characters, I would consider him more "accessible" than some others.
