Double posting, I know, but here's the character description.

NAME: Lil (short for Lilac)

AGE: 8

RACE: Hobbit

GENDER: Female

APPEARANCE: Lil is very short and somewhat round. She has bright, starry eyes that are somewhere between the colors of green and brown. Her hair is light brown and is extremely curly - the length of it is difficult to tell. If the curls are pulled out, it would probably reach to the bottom of her shoulder blades, but the curls curl so tightly, that it really comes to the nape of her neck, giving her head a very round, very adorable appearance.
She wears the simple hobbit garb that is usual - a dress whose skirt comes a little below the knee, over a white blouse type shirt, and she runs barefoot, of course.

PERSONALITY: Mostly, she’s bubbly and mischievous. She is the fourth child of eight kids and is apt to go wherever her older siblings lead, regardless or not of whether it is a good thing to do or not. She doesn’t think much on her own yet (think in advance, anyway). She is not at all shy or backwards, instead she’s extremely outgoing, is very easily humored, and seems to get into everything at once - like many of her other siblings, I imagine.

I wonder about the poor mother.

Actually, I know a number of wonderful families with 5-7 children, but I haven't ever met someone with 12!

Could I have the eleven year old?

NAME: Tolman....generally known as Tom

AGE: 11

RACE: Hobbit

GENDER: Male

APPEARANCE: A lanky sort of lad, which is unusual for a hobbit. He is relatively lean and tall with a mop of brown curls. He has bright blue eyes and usually goes about with his hands stuck in his pockets to sort through the various treasures that he has acquired during the day. His pants and shirt are stained and a bit too small, since his mum has trouble outfitting so many children at once.

PERSONALITY: He's quieter than most hobbit lads and a bit cowed by his older sibling who always insists on taking the lead. Tom has a bad habit of borrowing things from others without telling them what he's doing. He has no intention of keeping the item and always returns it to its owner. So far, he has managed to get away with this behavior without anyone finding out what he's doing. even his own siblings. How long this streak of luck will last, no one can really say....

Well, there are 8 here, if that comforts you. I know a couple families with 8 kids, but I don't believe I've ever met any with 8 born in 12 years. And I actually know a family that has 12 children. Have you ever read Cheaper by the Dozen? It's a hilarious book by two kids (well, they were adults when they wrote the book) out of a family of 12 children...

Your Tom certainly looks interesting. Should his older sibling be a girl or boy, do you think? Or should we leave that to whoever claims it?

If someone claims the older child, they can decide. If no one does, then we can decide. I think that will work.

I don't know if I'll be on much for a time...i don't know how long though...a really, really close friend of mine died yesterday...

so i'm not going to be on my computer much....

Mithalwen · 02-27-2007, 03:02 AM

I am so sorry about your friend. Take the time you need and we will be here when you are ready to return. Until then I will keep you inmy thoughts.

Tevildo · 02-27-2007, 06:49 AM

Forest Elf - I'm very sorry. I'll do a line or two that resolves our conversation.

I'd also like to do a child. If it's alright, I'll do the elder sibling.....a strong willed girl, who is a bit bossy. If that's alright, I'll put up a profile later today.
