Elrond Half-elven (My love for divided fantasy characters)
So, there's a show out right now on Amazon Prime called Rings of Power, and while it's only half released at this point, it's pretty terrible. It's very pretty, the sights and sounds and songs are wonderful, but the writing and story are boring if you've never read Tolkien, and nonsensical if you have. But that's not the point of this particular ramble. I'm going to blather on for a bit as to why Elrond is my favorite fantasy character of all-time. But first, my 2 runners up. Drizzt Do' Urden is a dark elf from an evil race but he is innately good, and flees his homeland to find a better life. As a bi-racial kid from a bad neighborhood who wanted a better life in a better world, that certainly resonated with me. Tanis Half-Elven was a product of a rape and raised in an unwelcoming elven area where he matured faster than his age-mates, and found himself reluctantly thrown into leadership roles time and again. Parts of this also resonated with me ...
