Obscure Tolkien Character of the Day
Purpose of this thread: to pay homage to the more obscure characters that we never talk about. Pick one character and tell us about them in a few sentences.
Elanor's obscure Tolkien character of the day: Niggle, from the short story "Tree and Leaf." Niggle is the star of his own story, but it's such an obscure story that he counts as an obscure character. Niggle was a painter who was obsessed with painting every leaf of one tree in great detail, but he was too helping his annoying neighbor. He was put in an institution, which is probably symbolic of death, but one of the leaves of his painting got put in a museum and he ended up in a beautiful garden that included his own Tree. |
