Looks: If an Elf is named �well-shaped one�, it means he is even more handsome than everyone around. That means that he is almost too good to be true. Add beautiful copper-red hair and grey eyes and feel your dreams come true. *gets dreamy eyed and hurries to give herself Anti-Lustin� injection* We sincerely hope you don't mind the fact that he has lost his right hand.
Smarts: While he certainly was a brilliant military strategist, he wasn�t the brightest Elf around. Imagine that someone kills your father and grandfather, and steals the family heirlooms. Would YOU go alone to meet them for a cup of tea to talk things over? I thought so. However, simple surgical procedure, the removal of the right hand at the wrist, seemed to radically improve both his intelligence and diplomatic skills.
Personality: Brave, decisive, and angsty. You know, one of those who merrily jump to action, later to spend many centuries pondering over them and regretting them. Keep him busy so he doesn�t have time to think too much, and he will be the Elf everyone wants to be (or simply everyone wants).
Cooking: Just how well do you expect an Elven prince to cook? Especially a one-handed Elven prince? You will have to do the cooking, though he can�t be a picky eater � whatever you cook, it is bound to be better than whatever he was fed while hanging from Thangorodrim.
Fighting Skills: He was the best swordsman, or swordself, if you please, among the Noldor. Survived endless battles against Morgoth�s troops, who were said to run away from the fire that shone in his eyes. Definitely a strong point.
Special Abilities: Reflective thinking, which you wouldn�t expect in a son of F�anor. And a talent for fencing.
Competition: Thousands and thousands of readers entranced by his handsome looks and sad eyes. As far as canon, none. Those who would suggest Fingon are advised to go and wash their mind with soap and water.
In-Laws: F�anor and Nerdanel. Remember to leave all your diamonds at home when visiting, or F�anor will drool excessively and then change into Kinslaying mode. Guess what? You get to be the Kin. Nerdanel will run away as soon as F�anor becomes unbearable (which means you are unlikely to meet the poor lady at all). As far as six younger brothers, he wisely lived away from them. When they come to visit, remember to check you chair before sitting down (Ambarussas won�t miss a chance to play a prank), and invest in some earplugs if you want to get some sleep (Maglor, as opposite of us mortals, doesn�t need to sleep). Also, remember that the other three brothers both have rather nasty personalities, and two of them don�t like mortals
.
Economics: As a lord of Himring, which was a barren hill right next to Angband, he would barely have enough to support his army. He will always think that another suit of armor is more important than a gift for you.
Sex: We honestly don�t know how hanging on cold rocks of Thangorodrim could affect an Elf�s libido. We need clinical trials. Volunteers are welcome to sign up with The Poison Ivy. What? Too many people in line? You should be glad you didn�t get in � they don�t know they are signing up for hanging on Thangorodrim, not sex with Maedhros.
Other: When you stop drooling, please realize that he will always prefer some shiny stones and the Oath to you.
Overall: Extremely handsome Elf who will gradually descend into angst and despair. What are you doing wasting your time on this guide? Grab him and enjoy while you still can. Did we mention he is suicide-prone when despaired?
