Raised purely in The Shire... Binty was brought up in an confident community.... Though he -is- different... The shy lad he is, Binty never had many friends as a small boy... Therefore learnt to play the harp by himself... Often in an secluded area where he could avoid social contact. He also liked to keep his 'Pops' garden nice and colourful... Binty is now still fairly shy... Though welcoming to most people, he gains confidence quickly but first impressions are Everything to him...

Binty finally reached an old enough boy to travel to Bree by horseback.... His Grand'pappa often told him wonderful tales and adventures of Bree-Land.... Though soon enough... Binty discovered the reality and newly formed Bree.... A Town full of Long-shanks that towered over Binty... He didn't like it.... Meeting a few people such as Saracyn and Welten who he absolutely adored, also gave him hope and courage, leaving him with more confidence in the Long-shank world...

Though from now on... Binty takes his leave to The Shire, living happily with all his friends and family... Meeting new people every day... Enjoying life... As it comes.
