Frendo Twofoot

When Ashenne prepared to lleave the Shire and attempt to get as far away from Bree-land and the Blackwolds as possible, she found herself caught between the desire to stay with her newfound friends and her urge to flee her old life once and for all.

Naturally, she tried to take her friends with her. Bria was relatively easy to convince but Frendo was not so willing to leave his home, especially for a life of adventures.

Proper yet stalwart Bounder Frendo and his adventurous cousin Bria sit atop the Hill with their new friend, a traveller who goes by the name Nia.

Claiming to be from Gondor and trying to return as a way to get as far from Bree-land and the Blackwolds as she possibly could, ex-brigand Ashenne Blackrush - a skilled liar yet not knowledgeable enough about the world to travel - created the identity of Nia.

"Nia" and Frendo Twofoot attend a Shire Rose concert at Adso's Camp. This would be the last thing they did together before parting ways.

Frendo, not ready to take on a life of adventure, decided to return to the Shire. "Nia" returned to her life as pickpocket and urchin Ashenne Blackrush out of guilt over the way she lied to the first real friends she ever made.

In an ironic turn of events, former brigand Ashenne (under the pseudonym "Nia") agreed to accompany Frendo Twofoot in his Bounder duties as a way to repay the food and drink given freely to help her recover.
