Character’s name: Heidi (hi-dee), daughter of Bain.
Meaning of name: nobility, or of noble birth.
Birthdate: December 31, TA 2956. The story takes place when she is 20 years old, in the year TA 2976.
Height: 5 ft and 4 in, or about 163 cm.
Body: She has an angular, dainty body, and her face is heart-shaped with a widow’s peak. She has lovely, dark-chocolate brown eyes and her skin tone is sandy beige with a cool pink undertone. She has a small mole on the underside of her chin along with one at the right crease of her nose. Her smooth, straight, black hair reaches a little way past her shoulder blades. She prefers to keep it in a simple braid down her back but doesn’t mind styling it for formal events. Heidi usually doesn’t wear jewelry, but you can always see her wearing a pair of simple pearl-drop earrings.
Greatest fear: Her greatest fear would have to be feeling trapped. She hates feeling as if dinner parties and dressing up is all she is meant to do.
If granted one wish, it would be: If Heidi was granted one wish, she would want to travel to anywhere in Middle Earth, but mostly to the kingdom of Rohan. She loves to hear the stories of horse-lords and how they travel on their powerful steeds to long distances; she wishes she could be as free as them.
Current location: She currently lives in Dale along with her father, Bain, and her older brother, Brand. Bain is the king of Dale which makes Heidi a princess.
Favorite color: Emerald green and bright yellow.
Favorite literature: I feel like Heidi would really enjoy something romantic like Pride and Prejudice but also something as adventurous as Percy Jackson.
Most prized possession: The pair of pearl drop earrings that used to belong to her mother. Those earrings are a family heirloom.
Hobbies: She likes to read books and ride her horse.
Optimist or pessimist? She's usually an optimist but people mistake it for innocence.
Introvert or extrovert? She is introverted with people she doesn't know but opens up easily to those who are closest to her. However, she knows how to hold a conversation when diplomats from other kingdoms come to visit.
Daredevil or cautious? She is usually cautious, though she wishes she could be a little braver.
Closest companion: She can always depend on her handmaiden, Marte (Mar-tah), but if she is not around, Heidi can be seen with her horse, a black stallion named “Beau” (pronounced “bow”).
*There are some differences between this story and the original one that takes place in The Hobbit. In this story, Smaug is slain the first time he comes to Erebor, meaning there is no quest to retake The Lonely Mountain. Smaug is slain by Bard. Although Bard was Bain's father in the original story, in this version Bard is his ancestor from almost 400 years ago. I’m basing this off of facts from the book and spinning it a little.*
