Diamond of Long Cleeve was a hobbit of the Shire.
History[edit | edit source]
Diamond came from Long Cleeve, a village in the Northfarthing. She married Peregrin Took in S.R. 1427, and had one son, Faramir, named after Prince Faramir of Gondor.[1][2]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
Diamonds are precious jewels[3] The jewel name supports the possibility that she was of a high family, such as the North-tooks, descendants of Bandobras Took.
Portrayal in adaptations[edit | edit source]
2001-7: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King:
- Whilst unnamed in the film itself, the Hobbit next to Pippin at Sam's wedding is identified as Diamond on a Decipher Card. She is played by Emma Deakin.[4]
2022: The Lord of the Rings Online:
- Her true name is given as "Adamanda North-took", with Diamond being her nickname. Her mother, "Rosalinda", is the Reeve of "the Yondershire".[5]
Notes
- ↑ According to the Appendix B Pippin left the Shire for Rohan in S.R. 1484. Presumably Diamond had died by then.
