My favourite character is Éowyn (AKA Dernhelm). There are very few female characters in LOTR and she is the only one that has character development in the story. Galadriel, Goldberry and Arwen are rather 1-dimensional. Éowyn is brave, strong and feels very deeply. She loves Théoden as a father, hates Wormtongue, becomes infatuated with Aragorn and is rejected by him, decides to die in battle, shows courage and desparation in defeating the Black Captain, suffers boredom and depression when she cannot rejoin the battle, examines her sulking, whining behaviour and then she finally falls in love with Faramir. (OK, so it’s a hokey fairy-tale ending.)
