HEIGHT : four foot five , one-hundred and thirty - seven centimeters . CLOTHING STYLE : layers , velvet , armor scales , hems with geometric designs , different shades of blue , fur collars , gold embedded in his sleeves , and precious stones pressed into his belt . layers that make him look more imposing , wider , and take up as much room as possible . PHYSICAL FEATURES : large , yet sparse brows , a delicate mouth surrounded by a strong , short beard , calloused fingers from battle and hard work , long , curving lashes , big ears , hairy from head to toe , and scarred underneath his layers . should he have lived after the battle of the five armies , he would have had a long scar on his forehead that cut into one of his eyebrows , where the hair ceased to grow .

FEARS : that the madness that claimed his grandfather and father will also claim him . that he will not match the greatness of his forefathers . more of his family dying . that the outside does not reflect the inside . GUILTY PLEASURE : he enjoys forging rings of all kinds . large rings , small rings . rings made for large gemstones , rings carefully detailed for ceremonies . he does not like to decorate himself and wear a lot of jewelry or beads , but he is fond of adorning his hands with rings . in the blue mountains , among his personal belongings , are ring designs sketched out on scrap pieces of parchment . AMBITIONS FOR THE FUTURE : reclaim erebor , rule under the mountain , move his people back to their rightful place and secure a better , more deserving life for them all . no more disrespect and hardship . to show them and himself that he is worthy .

while this may not be a blue hood with a silver tassel , the color palette for thorinās clothing still reflects j.r.r. tolkienās book description . thorin is layered with various shades of blue , from the geometrically - patterned blue velvet tunic he wears to the blue of his leather gauntlets adorning both forearms that matches the blue leather of his coat . his scale armor is steel with three gold pieces on either shoulder . the fur lining his outermost layer is from a skinned warg kill , as is the fur on his steel-tipped boots , around which is wrapped leather straps . with long sleeves tucking into leather finger - less gloves to fit beneath his gauntlets and a high collar , nearly every inch of him is covered . beneath his velvet tunic are sewn additional flaps of fabric with scale armor lining the hems that cover the front of his legs . underneath it all , he is dressed in at least one more top layer and a long one-piece undergarment . his sturdy trousers have a leather motif on top of his knees that serves as a form of protection . embedded in his belt - buckle , a design which matches the other geometric patterns that remain constant throughout all his clothing , is a diamond in the center , flanked by lapis lazuli . around the rest of his belt are more steel scale armor pieces with gold scales placed in the middle of them . he wears dark gray wool socks that are somehow usually a bit too big for him .Ā
