You got
Samwise Gamgee.
You are the person who stays. Not the hero of the story — the person who makes the hero possible. You love with a loyalty so deep it doesn't even occur to you to call it extraordinary, because to you it's just what you do. Your strength is the kind that doesn't announce itself: it's in the cooking, the carrying, the quiet refusal to let someone you love face the dark alone.
