A plea: a lot of people don't seem to be putting very much effort into this. It really is a lot more fun for everyone if you try to put together something interesting and thought-out, especially for the person that you're doing. Too many people have just been doing a line or two with the very barest facts found in that user's profile or just things they already know. If you don't know very much about a person, try doing some research. You might learn some interesting things. For example, I knew next to nothing about Legolas in Spandex...

Legolas is a fairly new Downer, having joined last month. She is a highschooler who loves to draw, and is on DeviantArt. She also plays the clarinet and guitar. Her birthday is the 4th of December.

She is currently reading LotR for the first time and very recently finished FotR. She has read a little bit of the Sil. She got into LotR because of the movies, and she also has a friend who is quite into LotR. She is quite the fan of the movies and enjoys several things about them including the music, effects, and settings. Her favorite character is presumably Legolas.

She likes songs of travel and adventure.

She has posted mostly in M-E mirth, but also has several posts in the Movies, Barrow Downs, and N&N fora.
