Great with a small and easy topic, soon covered in every aspect :-)
Gimli: Faithful to oaths, endurant, brave, quite, unselfish.
In the beginning he is quite and grave, but as the book moves on he is more talkative and happy.
Important for his fate is his friendship with Legolas, which would have been impossible had he been conservative like most dwarves.
He is also extremely ashamed to show fear; the only time he does it is in the paths of the dead. I think he is more brave than Legolas; he doesn't know fear, Gimli overcomes it.
He has some kind of problem with authoreties (how the ____ is that spelled? (kings and queens)), as shown in Edoras and Lothlorien (before he sees Galadriel of course)
Finally, just a great friend. I love every time he meets up with Merry and Pippin, and you can feel the pure joy he is trying to hide.
