personality:
Legolas is very grounded in himself and the world around him, he is both very instinctual and intellectual. His greatest strengths are that he is calm, and calms those around him, while being a good mediator and follower. Legolas has a great sense of loyalty and purpose, as well as trustworthiness to a fault. While he can be assertive he has no desire for personal glory or approval and works well in a supportive function rather than as a leader. Legolas is very trustworthy and his peace both internally and externally make him a positive ally to have, as he will never likely be the member of a group or team that causes problems. That's not to say he will not speak his mind when he believes he should, but when a decision is made he will support his leader.
He is not aggressive, but he has a strong sense of combat and unmatched skill with his long bow. Legolas performs well in combat both on a small and battlefield scale. While it would be a far stretch to say he enjoys killing he does not seem bothered by it when it is for an honorable cause, especially if he is next to friends and comrades for a battle, and he does take pride in his skills and accomplishments in combat. Because of his natural superhuman strength, agility and so on he can even be prideful of his skills. Legolas is also seen to be prideful/arrogant when he refers to the mortal races as children, though they are adults, being as they have lived such a short time compared to himself and other elves. As skill in combat as he is, and as calm and idealistic as he remains, Legolas is not fearless by any means and when presented with a great adversary will not throw caution to the wind unless his leader wills it.
Legolas is at times very charismatic with great personal magnetism and alternately distant, remote and disengaged from what his traveling companions are doing. He is more in-tune with the world and nature than they are and his acute senses allow him to see and feel things that they do not. This does not inhibit his ability to bond with them however and this is especially seen with his affection for the dwarf Gimli. He can be fun, affectionate, strong, and many other qualities that the other companions exhibit individually in greater amount. Part of his ability to become friends with the different races is Legolas' ability to be laid-back and unassuming, which may seem in contrast to his slight arrogance. He thinks himself superior only in those ways which naturally come to him because of his elvish heritage but he respects and appreciates the strengths and qualities of his companions also. This makes him somewhat more approachable than most elves who are not as approachable. He isn't exactly the strong and silent type, but close to it.
His greatest vice might be his neglect of his own needs, for he always does as his leader wishes and does what is necessary for the realm and the good of the people. Legolas rarely expresses his own needs or desires, and only voices his objections when he feels it is vital or honor-bound for him to do so. Overall he is dignified, comfortable with himself, loving, aloof, strong and kind.
