Legolas' birthday is unknown but he is thousands of years old, his age is well-debated as is his hair colour. Tall, slender and fine-featured, Legolas can move with grand stealth. His steps are light and he can easily pass over snow barely leaving footprints. His surname, Greenleaf, is the literal meaning of his name, Legolas. He is the son of Thranduil, the King of the Elves of Northeren Mirkwood. Legolas is quick and deadly with knife or bow and this good elf is keen lover of all things forest.
Legolas is a Sindarin/Woodland Elf though he wore the attire of the Silvan Elves which is green and brown. Elves are immortal as they are not prone to death, disease or old age. However, they can be slain and they may die of grief or choose to pass on because they grow bored of their present life. As an Elf, Legolas' senses are stronger than those of other races (e.g. Dwarves, Men) and so he is the eyes and ears of the Fellowship. Legolas is always the first member of the Company to be aware of danger. Legolas aided the Fellowship with his incredible archery skills, heightened senses aa well as being lethal with his long knife. When he runs out of arrows he relies on his long white knife and he collects arrows, his and his enemy's, from the ground after the battle.
"Legolas' moves are smoothe and elegant, like a cat...it's very balletic. It's also bloody hard to do it without falling over!" - Orlando Bloom
