Frodo's Elvish qualities - nature or nurture?

[Carlas]

Perhaps it was both, 'nurture and nature'. Frodo did grow up with Bilbo and Gandalf and was exposed to many things elvish. Many people think (or at least I think)that the way you are brought up affects your personality and your physical appearance. Fate could have been a factor, and his childhood was helping him to prepare for this grand journey.
