The Tale Of Laurelin Brandybuck

~BACKGROUND~

I was born in the shire just about the year 1383, by shire reckoning. My parents were Lily and Harrydoc Brandybuck. My parents were always meeting new creatures who were coming and going to and from the shire. One day, some elves were traveling and passed by my parents' house. Among them was Linmenel (Tanalion). They soon became great friends. My parents were fascinated by the elves and when I was born, they named me Laurelin, an elvish name. But to all in the shire, I was known as Laurie.

I was constantly in the company of such elves and loved hearing their tales. When I was slightly older, I moved into Hobbiton and spent most of my time with my cousin, Merry. We shared all the same friends, including Frodo Baggins and Pippin Took. Through Frodo, I also befriended his servant Samwise Gamgee and his sister, Elaina. I took a great liking to Sam, and we became great friends, as he loved my tales about the elves. Throughout my years, we spent most of our time together.
