Legolas

Legolas is an elf of the woods of Mirkwood. His name in Sindarian means "Greenleaf." He, like all elves, has great hearing and eyesight. And because of this he also is a great archer, for he never misses. Legolas used his talents to aid the Fellowship greatly. For when they fought countless times against the orcs he killed many just with his bow. He does have a long silver dagger of the elves.

Legolas is one character that everyone loves. His great love for nature and his understanding adds greatly to his character. Because of his caring nature he becomes best friends with both Aragorn and Gimli. They all travel together for many leagues in which Leogolas' great eyes, and Aragorn's tracking ability are priceless to the Fellowship.

Legolas is a valiant warior. He fights chiefly with his bow, but he does use his dagger as well. He fought at the battle of Helms Deep, the battle at the Gates of Gondor, and the battle at the Black Gate. He also fought many orcs and trolls in Moria and in the woods across from the Emin Muil.

After the Battles for Middle Earth, Legolas and the elves of the woods came to live in Ithilien. Here Legolas could visit Aragorn, and Gimli visited them often as well. Yet all things had their time, and when the King of Gondor died, he left these shores with Gimli to sail to the land of the Valar, with all the other elves. Gimli was the oddball in this group, but his friendship with Legolas and his affection for Galadriel made it possible, and not only that, for Bilbo and Frodo were there as well. It was definitely a happy ending for everyone.
