About Legolas
Legolas' birthday is unknown but he is thousands of years old, his age is well-debated as is his hair colour. Tall, slender and fine-featured, Legolas can move with grand stealth. His steps are light and he can easily pass over snow barely leaving footprints. His surname, Greenleaf, is the literal meaning of his name, Legolas. He is the son of Thranduil, the King of the Elves of Northeren Mirkwood. Legolas is quick and deadly with knife or bow and this good elf is keen lover of all things forest.
Legolas is a Sindarin/Woodland Elf though he wore the attire of the Silvan Elves which is green and brown. Elves are immortal as they are not prone to death, disease or old age. However, they can be slain and they may die of grief or choose to pass on because they grow bored of their present life. As an Elf, Legolas' senses are stronger than those of other races (e.g. Dwarves, Men) and so he is the eyes and ears of the Fellowship. Legolas is always the first member of the Company to be aware of danger. Legolas aided the Fellowship with his incredible archery skills, heightened senses, as well as being lethal with his long knife. When he runs out of arrows he relies on his long, white knife and he collects arrows, his and his enemy's, from the ground after the battle.
History of Legolas in Middle-earth
The first appearance of Legolas Greenleaf is in the story of the fall of Gondolin. Legolas escaped the fall and made it with the rest of the fugitives, along with Tuor, Idril, Earendil and Glorfindel, to the heights of Christhorn. Legolas is night-sighted and knew all the plain of Tumladen and he led the group to the heights of Chrsithorn.
Legolas' part in The Lord of the Rings
Legolas was one of the nine in the Fellowship of the Ring after his father sent him to the Council of Elrond in Rivendell in 3019. Legolas fought at the Battles of Hornburg and the Pelonnor Fields. He journeyed with Aragorn and Gimli during the War of the Ring through the southern lands of Middle-Earth. At the Battle of the Pelannor Fields, Legolas got his first glimpse of the sea at Gondor and was overcome with a great desire to sail. In the Year 120 F.O. Legolas passed over the sea and sailed to the undying land of the Elves and he brought his dear friend, Gimli, with him.
Legolas' Character in The Lord of the Rings
In the recent LoTR movie, Legolas hardly says a word, but his character portrayal was no weaker. His character was presented in the way he moved, fought, spoke [when he did speak], and his whole attitude. In both the film and the book, what Legolas does say represents his personality. His actions, too, gives us an idea of what he is like.
