Character meme!

It's still music festival season, so I've hard hardly any quality time to spend with the new addition to the household. It doesn't even have a name or a wallpaper pic yet.
So I'll do a meme. (I've been tagged for another great one; I'll do that later.) This one I ganked from a bunch of people on the f-list.
1. Comment to this post with the name of a character that I have written in fic or RP.
2. I will comment telling you the following:
a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
b. One of his/her best traits.
c. One of his/her worst traits.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
e. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future.
And/or: Ask me anything fandom-related, and I will probably answer honestly.

I've looked over your stuff at HASA to make sure I'm remembering authors correctly, and I think my two favorite LOTR fics both involve Merry, so I'll ask for him. Of course, if you'd rather, I'll be glad to hear any Tolkien character of your choosing.

a. I think Merry's journey is probably the most underrated of all the hobbits', because he seems to change the least. That might be true, but it's great to see him grow into what he was always meant to be: a heroic leader on a small, homey scale. Which is exactly what he's always wanted to be.
b. Courage, but also judgment.
c. A tendency to think he knows more than he does.
d. Fairly difficult unless there are dramatic circumstances around for him to respond to, which is usually how I've written him. Then his matter-of-factness just kicks right in, and I remember how to swim.
e. That's probably "Pursuit of the Last Lantern," because he's away from Pippin and so doesn't have anyone very familiar to bounce off - among Rohirrim, different true colors than usual came out.
f. That all depends on the bunnies, now, doesn't it. ;P
