For those who don't know, Figwit is an Elf at the Council of Elrond. Some fans saw him and named him "Figwit", meaning "Frodo is great, who is that?" I thought the name immensely funny. I think he's the elf who rides up with Legolas, but I'm not sure, nor quite obsessive enough to get two TVs and two DVDs so I can compare the actors. Silinde is one of the blonde elves, identified by Decipher as an Elf of Mirkwood.


The Very Secret Diary of Figwit

Day 1
Decided to keep diary. Don't know why, never have anything worth writing down.

Day 2
See? Life is boring.

Day 3
Hmm, maybe not so boring. Sent to Rivendell with Legolas and Silinde. Overheard Thrandonen say should not have been sent, as have the wits of a fig. Held back from going over and explaining is just my name.

Day 5
Wonder why everyone here keeps asking why I have frog on head? Do not. Well, except when stupid Dwarf put one there to get back at me for cutting beard into funny shape. Well, funnier shape. Looked v. stupid! Bet will not be at council tomorrow!

Day 6
Was right. Silly-looking dwarf sent son instead. Met lots of nice people. All wanted to know why had frog. Except Halfling with pretty blue eyes. Tried to show appreciation, but Halfling's boyfriend jumped out of a bush. Thought was going to kill me, but only wanted to join mission. Quest. Thing. Wonder why everyone laughed at small hobbit for that? Thought was very smart.

Day 9
Ride home v. annoying. Legolas joined missionquestthing so had to ride with just Silinde, who kept insisting had frog on head. Do NOT have frog on head! Even dunked head into boiling water to prove. Didn't work and hurt a lot. May have to rethink having wits of fig. Maybe should try to steal. What are wits anyway?

Day 13
Spent past 3 days trying to steal wits from fig. Still have no idea what wits are. Or fig, for that matter. Life not boring anymore!
