Strong (Faramir)
"Strength is sometimes hidden"
His brother was the powerful one. Everyone thought it – everyone said it – and he was content to agree with them. His brother had the charisma to lead all their armies to the Black Gates, if it was required, what it took to take over the role of Steward when the time came. It was when he died that they were shaken to the core. Suddenly he had to be the charismatic one – the one men would follow into certain death; the one that would become Steward. He couldn't believe that he already had it, forgetting that strength is sometimes hidden.
