A-Z of the Minor Characters
By Mel and Rose G
A/N - Some of these are pro, some anti.
Arathorn 1 - He died. We're not sure if he done anything else.
Barliman Butterbur - Just think, without him they might never have met Strider! Disaster!
Celeborn - Probably the one in Middle Earth with the least to say. Silence is beautiful, especially from an Elf.
Deagol - We wonder if he looked like Gollum. Oh, we wonder, our Preciousss. Preciousss. Who said that?
Elladhan and Elorhir - Having had to suffer growing up with Arwen, these two are certainly worthy of a mention.
Faramir - We're still amazed that he never tried to kill Aragorn for taking his country away from him. I would have done. (Mel - Typical bloody Londoner - always answers everything with fists.)
Glorfindel - A blonde elf who was in the book, for all you film fans going 'Whose he?' He discovered the secret of immortality after killing a Balrog.
Halbarad - Please refer to Chapter One, Aragorn. So similar and such a minor character, who wasn't even mentioned in a tribute when he died for Gondor, carrying Aragorn's banner.
Imrahil - One, he's a Prince. Two he's an ally of Aragorn's. Three, he's hardly mentioned.
Khamul - Anyone who can control so much of Middle Earth for so long is worthy of our respect. (Rose - Mel, bow to the Witch King.)
Legolas - At least he should have been. We wish. Let's start a campaign!
Mouth of Sauron - Just like a man to forget his own name. Typical!
Nimrodel - The subject of a beautiful legend, and Legolas's song. Mel would do anything to have Legolas sing about her. Wouldn't you, Mel?
Orome - If only he could have installed the sea longing in Arwen's and Elf-boy's hearts.
Pippin - Fool of a Took! Maybe not so minor, but at least he's funny.
Quickbeam - At last, one fellow who wouldn't rush into anything. Actually, something like that might stop the world.
Radagast - Talking to birds probably meant he was more interesting to listen to than most. Or a serial womaniser.
Sandyman - At least not all hobbits had a peaceful life thanks to this charmer. Well done, mate.
Tom Bombadil - Thank the Valar he was a minor character anyway.
Ugluk - Down with Orcs. Down with Orcs. Down with Orcs. Get the picture yet?
Vorondil - We are reliably informed that he did at one time exist in Middle Earth.
Wormtongue - A charming little sneak in Rohan. Not many characters get to subvert a King, now do they?
Xcellent - Most, if not all of the minor characters. And Strider.
Yavanna - Some jumped up goddess who liked trees. Ask Mel for more information - she wrote a story about her.
Zoo inhabitants - Didn't you know that there was one in Gondor where they kept Arwen and Elf boy?
A/N - We have a Gandalf one on the way, plus a Wheel of Time A-Z, starring Lan.
