For me, to tell someone I have a favorite Lord of the Rings character is difficult. Mainly, because I have loved Tolkien's characters for many long years...since I was ten...so nearly thirty-two years.
Overall, there is one that always shines out the most to me: Galadriel. She was wise and beautiful in many ways, and that was even before I saw her on the screen. To me, it seemed she was just wonderful - strong, independent, farsighted, and even with her power and beauty - she had a radiant simple grace to her, and she still knew how to laugh even in moments of darkness and trouble. It was she who saw through Saruman before any other; though it would be Gandalf who would truly uncover his treachery to the White Council. It was Galadriel who wished Gandalf to originally lead the Council. She knew how difficult Frodo's journey would be, and gifted him with one of the most powerful of her treasures: The Phial of Galadriel...kept within by the power of their most beloved star: The Star of Earendil. She was everything, and still modest in it all.
Of course, I loved Gandalf, Eowyn, Faramir, Aragorn, Frodo (though less so from the movies), and many others, but always I adored Galadriel.
Now, it is your turn. Have fun choosing and explaining your choice!
