Maedhros (only one hand, but not two left feet)

Thranduil (turning those battle moves into dance moves)

Gollum (chaotic on the floor, but potentially an audience fave)

Tulkas (encouraged by Nessa)

Tom Bombadil (whimsy to the max)

Thingol has always been prejudiced towards Dwarves

Maeglin was a poor, misunderstood loner shunned by all of Gondolin

Elwing jumped off a cliff with the Silmaril in front of her sons

The Fëanorians tried being diplomatic, and the Sindar were just mean to them

The Teleri attacked the Noldor first, which justifies the First Kinslaying

Sexy materialistic himbo Finrod who sleeps around with everyone

Beren and Lúthien are inherently selfish for caring only about being together

Maglor is secretly living in Rivendell

Thingol’s Quenya edict means he actually hates the Quenya language

Melian is selfish for abandoning Doriath in her grief

Túrin was never truly accepted by Doriath

Something else (put in the tags)

a songbird (they sing duets beneath the trees)

a squirrel (shows him all the nut-bearing trees, but keeps stealing his food)

a hawk (helps him hunt, and they share the spoils)

a horse (they race like the wind, for the sheer joy of it)

a crab (clack clack 🦀)

a hound (a loyal friend who walks at his side and sleeps at his feet)

a fox (they wont travel together forever, but for a while it suits them both)

a rabbit (flops on his lap at rests, and reminds him of what trust feels like)

an otter (they fish as a team, and both eat better as a result)

a cat (decided one day he was their person and that was that)
