Azaelia Took (Azaelia_Of_Willowbottom)
Gender: 2
Race: Hobbit
Height: 2 feet, 11 and 3/4 inches
Age: 28 (in hobbit years, about 14 by human counting)
Family: A cousin of Peregrin Took
Animals: none
Weapons: none (meaning she doesn't own any: She can learn to fight if necessary)
Personality: Azaelia is a cheerful, optimistic young Hobbit. She is outgiong and ready to make new friends. She tends to find ways to get into trouble easily, but she knows when and how to be mature.
She is different from most other hobbits because she enjoys adventuring greatly, and hopes to someday get out into the wide world beyond Bree. However, she is quite aware that there is no place like home in the Shire.
She is not your typical female hobbit: She would rather wear pants than a dress and thinks that typical "women's work" is beyond boring.
Her past experiances have made her independent.
Appearance: Hair: long, wavy cinnamon-colored, tied back tightly out of her way.
Eyes: blueish green
Clothes: Tends to wear boys' clothing-- brown pants and a cream-colored button-up shirt with sleeves that poof out. She wears a more feminine reddish-orange vest that laces from top to bottom down the front and is tied with a bow.
For a party or other formal event she will wear a dress. Her dress is a dark green that sets off her hair and eyes. It has 3/4 sleeves and a square neckline that doesn't go down very far. Like her vest, it laces down the front to her waist, then ties.
Height: Well, I already gave that, but I will make a note that she is short for her age.
History:
Azaelia was 24 (10 of our years) when her parents disappeared when out on a walk. They had left Azaelia with her cousin Peregrin Took’s family that afternoon, when they went out beyond Tookbank towards the White Downs and never came back.
Azaelia was raised alongside Pippin from that day on. To say the Tooks allowed her to be a tomboy at first would be a lie. They tried to raise her properly, but when it became plain that she couldn’t stand the tasks reserved for the women, (well, she did like cooking, she just wasn’t any good at it) the Tooks became glad of the extra help building things and other more “boyish” tasks and began to treat embroidery and sewing as punishment more than something she just had to do.
Pippin, after all, had four sisters and no brothers, so he could have used help. Because there were four more willing girls, Azaelia just got in the way, and made a mess of things, anyhow.
With Pippin and Merry, Azaelia went on “adventures”: walking out towards Pincup and the Green-Hill country, camping outdoors under the stars, fishing trips, even.
Azaelia’s lack of parents has made her independent and strong, both physically and emotionally.
