Frodo Baggins
We set out to save the Shire Sam.
And it has been saved. But not for me.
full name, Frodo Baggins
nicknames, Baggins, Mr. Frodo, Master, Mr. Underhill, Ringbearer, Elf-Friend
age, Frodo is about 53 now, because he was born on September 22nd, in the year of 2968 but because of the lasting effect of the ring, he still appears to be the age of 33.
class/profession, He's the adopted heir to Bilbo Baggins, which means he's fairly well off for a hobbit. He inherited Bag End, one of the nicest places to live in Hobbiton.
marital status, single
race, hobbit
alliance, loyal to Gandalf
hair, Frodo's hair is a dark brown that's wavy and is long, but decent in length for a hobbit. It stops above his shoulders in the back.
eyes, His eyes are a piercingly dark blue that are both warm and yet also distant.
build and body, He's 3' 7'' tall, considered taller than some and fairer than most hobbits due to his Fallohide ancestry.
anything else, Frodo has a scar on his shoulder from where he was stabbed by a nazgul on Weathertop.
face claim, Elijah Wood
likes,
elves, Bilbo always told Frodo stories about the elves and their great dignity, and after having met them in person he's only enjoyed their presence more. He also learned the elven language from Bilbo, and enjoys speaking it.
faraway places, Bilbo taught him all sorts of things about different races and people of Middle Earth, so unlike most hobbits, he's been very curious about the outside world and enjoys learning more about it.
Bilbo Baggins, he's the closest to a father figure Frodo's really had, and he loves the hobbit dearly. There's no one that means more to him than Bilbo, and not only did he learn his love of adventures from Bilbo, he also received the valuable gifts of his sword sting, and his mithril shirt.
nature, as a hobbit, he's very much appreciative of the trees, of flowers, of everything that grows. Frodo enjoys spending time laying out on a field of grass more than a comfortable bed or something. He's perfectly comfortable wandering in the woods and so on.
ale, like most hobbits, Frodo likes to drink as much as the others, although he doesn't get the chance to do so much anymore, he still appreciates a good drink when he has the opportunity. He feels that drinking ale has a soothing sort of quality about it. He doesn't drink nearly as much as other hobbits, but he enjoys it from time to time.
dislikes,
Saruman, With the ring destroyed, Frodo was hoping to live some peaceful years in the Shire before departing for the Grey Havens, but Saruman's actions make him unwilling to do so. In Frodo's eyes Saruman is the worst for causing more destruction to the peoples of Middle Earth.
bringing attention to himself, Frodo tries to avoid being noticed. Even when he was still in the Shire, he was quiet, and didn't like to be noticed much, but more so now that they're out risking their lives. He hates that the ring has the ability to bring the wrong kind of attention to them.
his own adventure, while Frodo was always eager to go on an adventure similar to the way Bilbo did, his own turned out to be nothing like he expected. He'd rather return to the lazy life he had before, but he knows he can't do that anymore.
leading others into danger, Frodo doesn't enjoy bringing people with him who could easily live happy lives without his meddling. For example, he didn't want to bring Merry and Pippin with him to Rivendell because he didn't want them to be in danger as well.
Sackville-Bagginses, a dislike he inherited from Bilbo, the Sackville-Bagginses were never company he appreciated. Frodo's great regret is that he was forced to sell Bag End to them in order to go on his adventure without question, but he never liked them very much.
strengths,
brave, Frodo may be small, but he does not lack the courage to do what he must. From the beginning, he knew this adventure would be dangerous, and knew it would most likely take much of his strength and resolve, but he didn't allow himself to turn away in fear.
smart, unlike many of his race, Frodo knows much about the ways and habits of people of the outside world, people who most hobbits don't care for. Frodo also understands that life can't go on peacefully in the shire by remaining isolated despite what most would think.
writing skill, Frodo's good education given to him by Bilbo allows him to be capable of writing well and also writing poetry with ease. He knows how to write stories, since Bilbo told many and wrote many, of course he would learn to do the same.
endurance, maybe because Frodo has often walked around all over the Shire wherever he could go, but he has a very good endurance as far as traveling goes, to which he doesn't tire out as quickly as others do.
loyal, Frodo is very loyal to his companions, and devoted to the Shire. It his his great love and loyalty to his friends and such that causes him to continue fighting even when he wishes to finally just be at peace.
weaknesses,
accepting help, While Frodo knows that he cannot make it to Mordor all alone, he doesn't want to put others in harm's way, especially those he really cares about. He prefers to do things on his own, since bringing the ring to Mount Doom is his burden to bear, not anyone else's.
fighting, Frodo wasn't born to be a swordsman or an expert archer. He's a hobbit, and he really has no idea how to fight any battles. Yet even so he is willing to fight for those he loves and for the home he wants to remain a safe place.
too trusting, while Frodo isn't so trusting of people to the point of foolishness, he does tend to place faith in most people, even ones he knows have done bad, because he wants to believe that they can change.
shy, while he's learning to move past this slowly, he still has trouble speaking up around the strange folk traveling with him. It's not as much of a problem to him as most things, but it can bother him enough for him to simply want to remain silent and listen to what others have to say.
the Shire, while it's odd to say that his home is his weakness, it's really the most important thing in the world to him. As long as the Shire's untarnished, Frodo can accept whatever wrong is going on in Middle Earth. But if the Shire were to be destroyed, it would probably break something in him.
fears, -to see the Shire destroyed
-that peace will never exist in Middle Earth
-that he no longer will be able to help anyone
dreams, -to see Middle Earth at peace finally
-to return to the Shire quietly and go on with his life
-to see Bilbo again
personality,
Frodo Baggins is and has always been a quiet hobbit. Content with who he is and how he lives, he's always kept to himself and never really spent much time with anyone other than Sam Gamgee, Merry Brandybuck, and Pippin Took. Most people consider him to be an oddity, and he's not like most hobbits. Many hobbits think of him to be snobby and above them because he was adopted by Bilbo, who everyone assumed was rich even before he brought back treasures from his adventures. Frodo was decided to be similar to Bilbo in that sense. However, he's never really been interested in material possessions. Frodo cares more about learning about faraway lands, and about elves, and things that most hobbits don't care about. He's always imagined going on adventures like Bilbo, and spent more times outdoors daydreaming away than doing work like other hobbits would.
Frodo's curiosity with the outside world is also attributed to his Took ancestry. He's a very compassionate hobbit, and takes pity on those that even the most noble of people wouldn't take pity on because he cares. He's a very warm-hearted hobbit, and very selfless. It's because of this that he chose to take the ring to Mordor, because he knew that even if he didn't come back, if he could destroy this thing, the Free Peoples of Middle Earth would at least live happy lives, and to him that is more important than his one life. Nothing else matters to him but to be able to do something to save the Shire and those he cares about. He's incredibly focused, and thinks of little other than what he needs to in order to accomplish his goal. He is very conscientious of what would happen if he were to fail at his task.
Frodo is very purposeful, and he rarely does anything to mess around or goof off as he used to. He leaves that to others to lighten the mood or do whatever it is they need to, because he feels he can't really allow himself to relax at all. Frodo is very smart, and he understands much more of the ways of the world than most hobbits. His understanding sort of makes him more responsible and cautious because he realizes just how terrible the situation of the world is. He is fully aware that he may have to sacrifice himself in order to save the world and he can accept that. It does however cause him to keep to himself more because he knows what might happen and doesn't want to attach himself too much to anyone.
That doesn't mean that he isn't close to anyone though. Frodo really cares deeply about the hobbits who were brave enought to join him on his journey, and all the members of the fellowship really. He's very grateful to all of them, but he knows in his heart that in the end he will have to face his task alone, despite all of their compassion. Frodo is also incredibly observant. He notices things about his companions faster than most, and also came to realize just how dangerous the ring was staying in the Shire without Gandalf really needing to tell him. Frodo was admittedly surprised, and he could tell by the looks on everyone's faces, they all were as well. Frodo also has quite a bit of bitterness locked in his heart that is directed towards Gandalf. While the hobbit loves the old wizard dearly, he's seriously upset about the fact that he spent so much time worrying about how he would make it to Mordor and whether he'd actually be able to destroy the ring or not. And then for the longest time Frodo believed Gandalf was dead and then the wizard appears and also with an eagle to fly them over Mount Doom. While Frodo is glad that the ring was successfully destroyed and that Sauron was destroyed, he really hates the fact that he suffered and others suffered because they decided not to use the eagles right away. He's not particularly thrilled about that, but he's trying to ignore it and focus on the current threat to Middle Earth.

history,
Frodo Baggins was born on September 22nd, 2968 of the third age. He spent his childhood very happy, stealing from Farmer Maggot's crops, and overall just having fun like all hobbit children did. When he was twelve years old, his parents unfortunately died in a boating accident, leaving him as an orphan. He lived alone in Brandy Hall until his uncle Bilbo adopted him when he was 21 years old. The two grew very close in the following years; Frodo learned much of the Elvish language during his time with Bilbo, as well as much of the lore of Middle-earth. It was because of Bilbo that Frodo became very fascinated with the outside world and eager to have an adventure of his own. The two of them coincidentally shared the same birthday, and so they celebrated them together each year. And then when Frodo was going to turn 33 and Bilbo 111, they decided to throw a giant party to celebrate Frodo's coming of age and Bilbo's unusual age.
At that party, Bilbo gave a speech, and surprised everyone when he suddenly disappeared before their eyes because he used the one ring. He was never again seen in the Shire. Bilbo left to go to Rivendell, and therefore left Bag End and the ring in Frodo's care, making Frodo the next ring-bearer. For the next seventeen years, Frodo kept it safely hidden in Bag End, since Gandalf wasn't sure yet if it was the one ring and had to find out. In the meantime Frodo didn't age a bit. In 3018 however, Gandalf returned to the Shire to inform Frodo that it was in fact the one ring that belonged to the dark lord Sauron, and that it was very dangerous. Now understanding the power the ring had, Gandalf told Frodo to follow Bilbo's path and head for Rivendell. Around then, rumors began that Frodo was running out of money, which he encouraged by deciding to purchase a small house in Crickhollow and selling Bag End to the Sackville-Bagginses. On the 23rd of September, 3018, Frodo, Sam, and Pippin headed out from Bag End towards the village of Bree.
When Frodo arrived in Buckland, Merry and Pippin already seemed to know what Frodo planned, and he had no choice but to take the young hobbits with him. When they arrived in Bree, they went to the inn of the Prancing Pony, where they were told to stay, and Frodo went by the name of Mr. Underhill to avoid suspicion. While there, he noticed a strange cloaked man, who the innkeeper informed him was named Strider, a ranger from the North. During that time he noticed that Pippin was overly enjoying the attention of an audience and was talking rather loudly about the Baggins family. Frodo tried to distract the crowd, singing and dancing on a table, but he jumped and fell and the Ring slipped onto his finger. Consequently, the Hobbit disappeared into thin air. When he reappeared, Aragorn spoke to him and warned him that he was drawing too much attention to himself. With that, Frodo decided to trust Aragorn to protect the hobbits, and allowed him to hide them from the Nazgul who attacked the inn that night.
The ranger then became their guide and took them on paths in the wilderness so they would be less likely to be caught. On the night of October the sixth, the Hobbits were attacked by five of the Nine Ringwraiths at the hill of Weathertop. In the presence of the Nazgûl, Frodo made the mistake of putting on the Ring. He was able to resist their attempt to take him by drawing his sword and invoking the name of one of the Valar. Unfortunately for him, the Witch King of Angmar stabbed Frodo in the shoulder with a morgul blade. The Nazgul were then driven away by Aragorn's fighting skill. Though Aragorn was a skilled healer, he was unable to heal Frodo's wound. He was rescued by Glorfindel, an Elf-lord who took the hobbit on his horse Asfaloth who carried them to the Ford of Bruinen. Once they crossed the river, Frodo turned to see the nine Ringwraiths on the other side. They ordered him to give up the ring, and he refused. After that, they were washed away by a flood called upon by Elrond.
He was healed in Rivendell by Elrond, although both of them knew that the wound would never fully heal, as it was as spiritual as it was physical. On the 24th of October 3018, Frodo awoke in Rivendell and was reunited with Bilbo, Gandalf, Aragorn, Sam, Merry, and Pippin. After his healing, Frodo was summoned to a council that Elrond had organized with representatives from each of the free peoples of middle earth attending. They discussed the history of the ring and decided that it needed to be destroyed. As fighting broke out among the council as to who should carry the ring of power, Frodo bravely stepped forward to accept this task. A member of each of the Free Peoples offered to join Frodo in his quest, forming the Fellowship of the Ring. Before leaving Rivendell, Bilbo gave Frodo his coat of mithril mail and his sword Sting. They set out on December 25th, heading south.
The Fellowship attempted to cross the Misty Mountains, or the pass of Caradhras, but were unable to due to a snowstorm. They instead decided to travel into Moria from the urging of Gandalf. It was there that Gandalf fell, and they were forced to continue to Lothlorien without him. There Frodo met with the Lady Galadriel, who showed him terrible visions of the future, what things might look like if he were to fail at his task. The fellowship were then each given gifts from the lady. Frodo's gift was the light of elendil, which would be a light in dark places. They were also given boats that they could take to the Falls of Rauros. They stopped near them, and were attacked by uruk'hai. Frodo and Sam escaped on a boat and headed for the side that would take them to Mordor. They got lost in Emyn Muil, before they found a guide in the creature Gollum. He lead them out of there and through the dead marshes until they finally came upon the black gate. And yet, something happened that Frodo would never have expected. Gandalf appeared, alive and well, with the eagle Gwahir and a plan. Frodo, Gandalf, and Sam were able to fly over Mordor with the eagle's help, and Frodo was able to throw the ring into the fires of Mount Doom. After all that, he hoped he could simply return quietly to the Shire and live out his days in peace, but no. Saruman attacked, and everyone took sides, and Frodo felt as if he had to do something to help. So now he has chosen to join Gandalf and other members of the fellowship in trying to stop Saruman and bring peace to Middle Earth.

Frodo Baggins sat in the chair silently, as the council of Elrond began. He was the only hobbit present, and it was strange for him to watch all the people of Middle Earth discuss the fate of the ring. Frodo was honored that he had the chance to sit and listen to their plan. He was simply relieved that his part in this story was over. He had brought the ring this far. Surely these fine folk would be able to figure out what to do with it. Frodo would simply listen and be glad to be rid of the ring. The Lord Elrond discussed the history of the ring, and Frodo listened curiously, since Gandalf had only told him some parts of the story, and he was fascinated by how such a small ring could cause so much destruction. Horrified, but also awed by it's power. He had never seen or heard of anything quite as powerful as the ring that was being discussed. Once the history was explained, Elrond informed them that the only thing that could be done was destroy it. And shortly afterward the arguing erupted.
Everyone seemed to be more interested in which race would get the honor of bearing the ring and so on, or who they wouldn't accept to do so, and it was all just a maddening situation. Frodo rubbed his forehead and sighed, listening as they just wouldn't stop arguing. He glanced at the ring for a moment, and in that moment he knew what he had to do. The arguing was just not going to get them anywhere, and he was sure that if he offered himself, they would be more willing to cooperate and come up with a plan. Frodo stood up quietly as the elves and dwarves and men continued to argue and walked towards the center of the council, shouting, "I will take it!" He repeated himself over and over because he was pretty sure no one heard him the first few times, until finally the council became silent as he said, "I will take the ring to Mordor." He was very aware of the stares he received as he stood in the center of the circle that was the council. Despite his nerves, he had to say something. And so he added, "Though I do not know the way." He wanted to see if anyone would protest the thought of him bearing the ring, but as he glanced around at the members of the council, Frodo was surprised to see that they actually didn't mind the thought of him taking it.
Okay, maybe they did mind, but mulling it over didn't seem as much of a problem as having any of them bring it there. Strange how the once angry council was now practically still. And then Gandalf stood up and said he would help Frodo, and after that things went quickly. Before he really realized what was going on, six of them stood there, ready for Elrond to decide how the group would do things. And suddenly, Sam, Merry, and Pippin showed up saying they were coming along. While Frodo wanted to tell them that they should just go home, he knew there was no way he could stop them now. And then Elrond named them the Fellowship of the Ring, to which Frodo couldn't help but wonder if any of them would even come back. He hoped they would. He would feel terrible if something happened to them because they wanted to help him. Frodo felt that he could figure out how to do it on his own somehow. But for now he would be satisfied with the help, because if he were honest with himself, he was definitely going to need it.
