Loss (Frodo)
"He became quieter"
He was never a particularly noisy Hobbit, at least, not compared to some of his relatives. A rascal and a mushroom thief, yes, but never that loud. But then a small, seemingly-innocent gold ring came into his inheritance as he lost his uncle to the elves and his life changed, arguably not for the better. First to fall was the one they called the Grey Pilgrim, lost in the mines against a beast of fire, soon to be followed by the loyal man of Gondor. Over the course of the quest he became quieter, by the end he rarely spoke.
Exactly 100 words. Thanks to Aria Breuer for this one. More prompts are very welcome (please use the form Theme, Character, "Prompt" e.g. Loss, Frodo, "He became quieter"). No OCs please, but any other character, however obscure, is welcome.
Oh yeah, if anyone's interested I'm now accepting fic requests. More details are on my profile.
