I’ve always thought I’d like to be Eowyn of Rohan. She’s got a good brother, she gets to fight, and she winds up with a nice prince and a good piece of land in the end. Of course, she also has to suffer through Wormtongue’s attentions and nearly dying in said fighting, but hey. Aragorn saves her. 🙂
Ah, nothing like a good bit of land to go with your prince 🙂
Tolkien didn’t write very many female characters, but the ones he wrote are brilliant, in my opinion. Eowyn is probably also on my list of Fictional People I Admire – soul sister of Jane Eyre, in a strange way.
I should love to be an elf, though I’m more hobbit in stature.
A hobbit with the soul of an elf?
