Favorite character that's not a main character. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I agree, Goldberry was always an interesting character. I loved how Tom Bombadil had to work to get her to be his wife....it really keeps her away from that "maiden-in-distress" sort of theme.

I very much liked the charcter Firefoot as well (is that his name? The hasty young ent).

Quickbeam

. Firefoot is Eomer's horse, which still is a minor character.

So with that, I will nominate the fox as my favorite minor character.

Sorry to be boring but Imrahil and Glorfindel are long time favourites (but of course Glorfindel has a role in the Silmarillion, which if not exactly leading certainly is an important supporting role ..) .

To be slightly more original I have a lasting affection for Erestor (I RPGed him once..), and as I head towards the foothills of Old Bagdom, I have a growing fondness for Lobelia

Lobelia turns out to a marvel, doesn't she?

Oh, and yes...the fact that Tom had to work as hard as anyone to be with Goldberry is interesting enought to be favorite cahracter material. Remarkably, it's nearly the same story my grandparents had. Oh well...

Glorfindel and Gil-galad.

Gloin, even though he's only in there for two seconds when gimli arrives in Rivendel.

From the whole legendarium, my favorite minor character is Ecthelion. Anyone who can kill a great demon has to be awesome.

Oh yes, I love Lobelia! She is really cool at the end, isn't she!

Dain II Ironfoot. He is one of the most underated character in all of Tolkien's works. I wish he would've expanded on him a little more.

Well, yes. It is sad that you hear of him in the Bo5A and then hear that he fell valiantely during the WR, it is very sad.
