Chapter Four: ... Legolas
~*~* The
Stats ~*~*
Name?: Legolas Greenleaf of Mirkwood
Race?: Elf
Gender?: Male
Eye color?: Blue-gray
Hair color?: Blonde
Fat/skinny?: Allow me to ask you a question -
have you ever seen a fat elf? If
no, then why am I being forced to answer such a pointless question?
Tall/short?: Have you ever seen a short
elf, either?
Were you named after anyone?: No.
I was named “Greenleaf” by my father after the fair woods where I was
born.
Do you have any siblings?: None in this world.
What are their names?: This is a pointless question.
How old are they?: Far older than your mortal mind could comprehend.
If you could choose
anyone to rule the world who would you choose?: Aragorn. He does quite a good job ruling Gondor...
Do you talk to voices in your head?:
Not actual
voices...but a song...a song that calls me...across the sea... (*The previous words have been
crossed out*) No.
Do they tell you to do stuff?: To cross the sea to the Undying La(*The previous words have been
crossed out*) No again.
Do you listen?: I try not to.
Have you ever loved anyone?: If you
mean romantic love, then no. I have never found an elf-maid who returned
any affection towards me. If you mean
love as a brother, then yes.
Have you ever broke any bones?: Several.
If so, which ones?: My ribs, my left arm, and both
ankles at various times.
Do you always get in trouble? With who?: With my father, constantly. With Gimli, always. With other elves, rarely.
Do/did you get along with your parents?:
My mother and I
were quite close. My father and I
have...shall we say, differences of opinion on certain crucial matters.
Who is your best female friend?: Relana is a fairly good friend of
mine - she is the daughter of a minor lord in Mirkwood, and she and I have been
friends since childhood.
Who is your best male friend?: I would have to say Gimli the dwarf,
much to the surprise of many and the irritation of many others.
What do you do most often when you are bored?: Either practice my archery or wander about
the woods, listening to the trees, assuming I am at home. If I am away, I prefer to meditate on my
homeland.
What are your favorite smells?:
Trees. Any
trees.
If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?: This is a pointless question, as
I could never become a tree. For the
sake of argument, however, I would choose an ancient oak, one that had stood
the test of time and could tell great tales to all who passed by and took the
time to listen.
What annoys you more than anything?:
Being forced to answer completely irrelevant questions by a mysterious
woman!
~*~* Have you in the last 24
hours... ~*~*
...cried?: No.
...gotten in major trouble?: No.
...cut your hair?: No.
...ate a meal?: Yes.
...made a new friend?: No.
...lost something?: Yes. In my haste this morning, I forgot my knives
were still in my pack and spent a considerable amount of time searching my
chamber for them...
~*~* If you were stranded on an
island... ~*~*
...who would you take?: The entire population of Middle
Earth. Then, I would not be stranded.
...who would you take if you only had two people you could
bring?: Probably
that dratted dwarf, simply for entertainment, and Aragorn, for my sanity‘s
sake.
...what three things would you bring?:
My bow from Lórien,
my knives, and a good store of lembas.
...what island would you want to be stranded on?: Would it matter?
...what animal would you kill for food?: Whatever I could hunt down.
...would you write on the sand "help!"?:
How would that
improve my position?
...would you panic or relax?: An elf never panics.
~*~* Which
one? ~*~*
Winter or summer?: Spring, for the earth is blossoming
with new life.
The beach or the mountains?: The beach.
Day or night?: night
The sea, with
its jeweled waves glistening in the (*The previous words have been crossed out - again*) A lake.
~*~* Have you ever... ~*~*
...run into a wall?: Clearly, you have had very
little experience with elves! No elf
would be so clumsy.
...sleep walked?: It is possible for elves to sleep,
or as close to the human term as an elf gets, while walking or even
running. So, I suppose, the answer to
this question would be yes, in a sense.
...had your life threatened?: Many, many times. Somehow, I have always survived.
...talked in your sleep?: Elves do not talk in their sleep,
either, despite the claims to the contrary by certain dwarves who shall remain
anonymous.
...what did you say?: Nothing. The reasons should be painfully obvious.
