A: Figwit is the mare one of the elves rode to the council of Elrond. She has a dark tail and mane. She has no speaking lines. She is in a word, gorgeous. Or another, stunning. Or another, enigmatic. Or another, hypnotic. Or another, stupendous. Or another, equine Take your pick. We go with all of the above and then some.     Q: She doesn't say anything. Can she talk? A: Well... Do you know any horses that can talk? We guess she *whinnied* at some point but it is possible that she just stood there occasionally stamping her hooves in a silent and provoking way, her silence speaking louder than any voice there. Looking gorgeous.     Q: So...where and when exactly can I see her? A: When Legolas arrives in Rivendell You see Figwit with her hooves flashing and mane tossing.     Q: How old is she? A: Hmmm.... we're not sure about that. We aren't exactly sure how horse years translate into elf years.     Q: Height? A: Fourteen hands.     Q: Weight? A: Maybe 1600 lbs.     Q: Eye color? A: Brown … but they are perfect and gorgeous.     Q: So why is she a member of the council? What is her role there? A: Good question! We thought the elves were smarter than that.     Q: Is it true that he is Legolas's 'companion'*nudge nudge* ? A: We think an accurate answer to that might be actionable.     Q: I heard she is actually one of Elrond's sons- Elladan or Elrohir. Is this true? A: No one ever suspected Elrond of that!     Q: Are you absolutely sure she's female? A: Er.... yes. It isn't that hard to tell.     Q: Are you on any medication? A: Pain meds from the bricks thrown at me by InDUHvidual,Arwenelf and others.
