Lindril Arvilya has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

Like several people have implied (or gone a long ways about saying), I hold that Tolkien, rather than making a clear and central hero, or even just one character with heroic traits, instead made a lot of characters who show the aspects of a hero. So perhaps:

Frodo
Aragorn
Pippin
Sam
Eowyn
+Boromir
_________

Hero
