Diamond Took

Diamond Took, born as Diamond of Long-Cleeve, sometimes referred to as Diamond Long-cleeve, is one of the three main protagonists of Three Hobbit Ladies and a Ring. She was portrayed by Lily James in the LOTR AU.

Diamond is part of the Long-cleeve Clan, Took family, and the Fellowship of the Ring.

Early life
Diamond was born TA 2995 to Arthur Long-Cleeve and his wife. However, her mother died when she was very young, leading Diamond to be raised by her father. On the other hand, Bilbo was the one who solely helped Diamond, along with the Tooks and Brandybucks. Without her knowledge, Bilbo actually learns that Arthur actually loves his daughter and Arthur only distances himself from his daughter because Diamond it reminds him of his lost wife. She eventually formed a crush on Pippin, the son of Thain Paladin Took, but feared they would only stay in the "Friendship Zone". Unknown to Diamond, Pippin also had a crush on her.

The Fellowship of the Ring
During "Uncle Bilbo's" birthday party, Diamond caught Merry and Pippin getting ready to pull the ultimate prank: set fireworks off with a dragon firework. At first, she sternly told them they were in trouble, but quickly joined in on the prank. When Pippin and Merry were found by Gandalf, he demanded where there other accomplice was. To cover for Diamond, they claimed it was just them and them alone. Diamond later asks why Pippin must always risk his life to save hers while cleaning his face.

Before her journey, Bilbo told her of how Thorin and his company had doubted him but proved them wrong. He later tells her that she can do the same thing. However, during this talk, Diamond mentions her father never loving her, but Bilbo is the first to tell her that is not true.
