The third child and only daughter of [[Milo Burrows]] and [[Peony Baggins]]. As her mother was a [[Baggins]], Myrtle was related to both [[Bilbo]] and [[Frodo]], but only in a most distant way (through her great-great-great-grandfather [[Balbo Baggins]], in fact). We only know for sure about one event from her life: she attended Bilbo's famous one hundred and eleventh [[Birthday Party]]. At that time, she would have been just eight years old.
