The foster parent situation must have been partially a JRRT thing, as well, his having been orphaned so young.

Aragorn and Beren...both fostered by Elves.

Then there is Tuor....

Elrond and Elros too were fostered, in a way, by Maglor, then you've got Gil-galad being looked after by Cirdan. Earendil too, far as I recall, was kind of under Cirdan's wing for much of his life.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Interesting topic - btw if you're looking for "average women" in LOTR, how about Lobelia Sackville-Baggins and Rosie Cotton? Wink Any hobbit-woman, really...

Oh, yeah, half the court in Minas Tirith must have taken one or two of her sizzling comments, and yet she seems so real-life stuff that her addition in the RotK was a jewel!

Never be afraid to try something new.
A lone amateur built the Arc. A group of professionels built the Titanic. Cool

Chacun a son goût! It cannot be denied that she is both realistic and ordinary, at least. But I'd rather read about Lobelia any day!!
