Title: Two sides of the same coin.
Chapter One: General knowledge.
Disclaimer: I don't own The Hobbit (movie-verse), I only own my OC (Bilbos twin sister)
Note: I am changing a lot of the storyline (even the way Bilbo looks) so I must ask that you read these notes. I wrote up a lot of stuff about Hobbit culture (all mine, no book reading used) so if you're confused please review and I shall reply.
Storyline:
Bilbo has a twin sister who looks so alike many would think them the same. They don't know who their father is. All they know is that their mother, Belladonna Took, returned after travelling/adventuring (very un-hobbity things to do) to the Shire heavily pregnant. Because of a misunderstanding, everyone in the Shire believed she only had a son, and not twins. Three years after she gives birth she finds love with Bungo Baggins. Alas, fate is cruel for not seven years later Belladonna and Bungo die after drowning. The day before there was heavy rain and the river swelled. Belladonna slipped on thee wet grass and fell into the river. Bungo jumped in, trying to save her but the river was too strong and they were pulled under. Having your parents (for Bungo was the closest thing to a father they had and Belladonna was their mother) die is considered unlucky in the Shire but twins are even worse and a bad omen. Many would've blamed the two for their parents death, saying it was their fault and that they brought this bad luck upon them had it been found out. The two agreed to pretend their was only one of them.
They have a lantern system (they can carve wood into seemingly any shape) where different lanterns have different wooden animals topping them, and, when placed in different places in their front yard they know, for instance, if they have visitors over and/or which door (or window) they should come through in order to not have their cover blown. Every night (or ASAP) they tell each other, in perfect detail, every discussion they had and where, and exactly where they went. They started doing this after a very embarrassing moment where one of them had gone out to the markets and chatted with a hobbit. The hobbit then came over for tea the next day and wanted to continue their discussion and invite him to come bird-watching the day after, however, the other Bilbo (for their mother, Belladonna,had named them both Bilbo) hadn't told the other and of course had no memory of this chat. He was forced to claim to have forgotten. After that day the pair made sure the other knew the slightest detail of any conversations. They now have uncanny memories, able to remember conversations from weeks, even months ago.
Bilbo:
Clothing: (they wear the same clothing)
A lightly-striped cream button-down shirt rolled up to elbows.
Three-quarter trousers, navy.
Waistcoat, ice blue.
Coat, corn yellow.
Suspenders, creamy beige: go over shirt, under waistcoat.
General:
Raven black hair which falls in ringlets
Golden, honey-coloured eyes (they get their eyes from their mother)
Taller than most hobbits.
Feet are smaller and are soundless as they walk, a skill forged from having to sneak around all their lives.
Ears poke through their hair, their ears mimic an elves perfectly in looks.
Voices are similar enough for no one to know the difference.
They favour blue and yellow.
Hobbit Culture:
Twins are considered a bad omen in hobbits culture, despite having many children being a sign of good luck and happiness.
Hobbits favour yellows and greens. Favouring blue makes the stark difference of them all so much more obvious.
Hobbits always have brown hair, in all different shades. Having raven black hair is unheard of and marks Bilbo as strange, and makes most hobbits wary and cautious.
Hobbits middle names are always the name of their father, unless the father is unknown. In Hobbit culture it is shameful to hold your mothers name as your middle name, something to be embarrassed about.
When introducing themselves, hobbits will introduce themselves by their full names. If not, their father is dead or unknown.
