Amygdalus is a 35 year old hobbit, she grew up in Michel Delving with her aunt and uncle. Two years ago while shopping in the market square she met an elf who was looking for his sister, lost this last 100 years or so. Amygdalus had not seen any elf other than this one, but being an outgoing inquisitive sort she soon got Sidhon talking about his journey to find his sister Rainith, she was invited to come along as they toured the Shire because most hobbits didn’t really trust Sidhon enough to talk to him. She’d always wanted to see more of the world than Michel Delving, so she agreed eagerly, and ran home to tell her aunt and uncle the good (for her) news, and pack a few things she might need. 

They bought her a tiny pony so that she could travel faster and she quickly learned the proper way to ride. Amygdalus was so excited to be traveling at last! She’d seen the traveling merchants coming through her town for years and always longed for adventure. Sidhon’s lovely wife Bornith taught Amygdalus the fine art of campfire cooking, and soon she was making pies every day. The two elves quickly learned to hate pies, which Amygdalus could not understand! She tried making cobblers, and shepards pie, and even bacon pies, but the elves would have none of it! Amygdalus finally decided that meant more for her to eat and was content, but puzzled as to why anyone would hate pie. 

While in Hobbiton a year later they heard a rumor that a tall black haired female elf was seen over in Brockenborings just a short while ago, so they rushed north to see if these rumors were true. Alas, the “elf” turned out to be a short man who was traveling through on his way from Evendim back to Bree.

She did make an amazing discovery in Brockenborings though, she found her twin sister Jonda and her parents! Amygdalus didn’t know she had a sister, let alone a twin. It turned out that her aunt and uncle were not blood relations at all, but two kind hearted hobbits that found a lost child outside of Waymeet and took her in until they could find her parents. “Found hobbit child” posters were posted all over Michel Delving and Waymeet for years, but no one ever contacted them so they raised Amygdalus as if she was their own. Apparently Amygdalus had wandered away from her families campsite when she was a tot and no one was able to find her. Her parents finally gave up searching for Amygdalus and mourned for her as if she was gone forever. The celebration of her return went on for weeks! Hobbits from as far away as Stock came to say hello and celebrate the return of the lost child. Amygdalus’ “aunt and uncle” were celebrated as honored guests for taking such good care of her. 

After being reunited with her family Amygdalus decided to say goodbye to her elven friends and spend some time getting to know her family. She stayed with them for a year while working at the Plough and Stars to earn money to buy her own little burrow in the Shire. She just recently moved into a cozy burrow in Grovedon, and hopes to have more adventures soon.
