" My lady, you are fair and brave and have much to live for, and many who love you. I know it is too late to turn aside. I know there is not much point now in hoping. If I were a knight of Rohan, capable of great deeds. But I’m not. I’m a Hobbit. And I know I can’t save Middle-Earth. I just want to help my friends. Frodo. Sam. Pippin. More than anything, I wish I could see them again."
Merry was born to Saradoc Brandybuck and Esmeralda Brandybuck (nee Took). He was best friends with Pippin, as well as being childhood friends with his cousin, Frodo Baggins and his gardner, Samwise Gamgee.
Personality[]
Merry has dedicated his life to his friends and family. For example, Merry was willing to go into battle just to be like his friends and be reunited with Pippin.
Most of the time, he gets into trouble, but knows when enough curiosuity is enough curiosity. Merry also has a personality similar to that of Fili from The Hobbit, as both are the older sibling/cousin and look after their younger brother/cousin (Kili and Pippin).
