Frodo Baggins
MajorFrodo is a fair-skinned hobbit taller and fairer than most with red cheeks, a cleft chin, and bright eyes. He outwardly appears as a robust energetic hobbit just out of his tweens though the journey leaves him noticeably thinner with thoughtful eyes and a faint hint of transparency especially in his left hand. A cold white scar remains on his shoulder from an old wound. He wears breeches, tunic, jacket; later green elven cloak with leaf brooch.

Physical Description
Frodo is a fair-skinned hobbit taller and fairer than most with red cheeks, a cleft chin, and bright eyes. He outwardly appears as a robust energetic hobbit just out of his tweens though the journey leaves him noticeably thinner with thoughtful eyes and a faint hint of transparency especially in his left hand. A cold white scar remains on his shoulder from an old wound. He wears breeches, tunic, jacket; later green elven cloak with leaf brooch. A small hobbit with pale skin and curly brown hair smoothed back from a brow lined with fine lines that make his face appear old and beautifully Elvish in peace or grim and haggard with weariness. His build is frail and thin, pinched from the quest's toll, with clear eyes and strong yet often cold or clammy hobbit hands and fingers. Dressed in a thin grey cloak and hood, he stands or crouches about three feet tall, bearing the visible weight of his burden as he totters or rests with peaceful features in the wild landscapes. A small, pale, thin hobbit with a lined and thin face that in sleep looks content and unafraid. His eyes can open to stare, show a wild light, or shrink from a dreadful Eye. He has ten fingers on his hands and appears weary, shivering, or staggering from exhaustion. He is small in stature such that orc garments are too long for him.
