Biography

Early life

Frodo, a Hobbit (or halfling, as other peoples tended to call them), was born to Drogo Baggins and Primula Brandybuck on September 22 in the year of 2968 of the Third Age. In 2980, Frodo lost both his parents in a boating accident. Then aged twelve, he was taken in by his mother's family, the Brandybucks. In 2989, Frodo came under the guardianship of Bilbo Baggins, whom he thought of as his uncle (though Frodo was actually his first and second cousin once removed, since his mother was Bilbo's first cousin, and his father was Bilbo's second cousin). Frodo was twenty-one years old at the time, still far short of his coming of adult age at thirty-three. The childless Bilbo chose Frodo as his adoptive heir, and brought him to live at Bag End.

Frodo, as described by the Wizard Gandalf, was a "stout little fellow with red cheeks ... taller than some and fairer than most, a cleft in his chin: perky chap with a bright eye." (The Fellowship of the Ring, Chapter 10, "Strider".) He probably had brown hair like most other hobbits. This would propably make him a fallohide, though this is not noted in the books.
