uncle, Thorin and also with the help of his mother. Since Thorin had no
children, Fíli was named heir. When Fíli was a child, his uncle would tell them

Fíli and his brother, Kíli are the third and fourth dwarves respectively to enter Bag End, and  introduced the storyline. When Bilbo says they're at the wrong house, both the brothers ask if the meeting has been canceled. Bilbo answers that nothing was canceled, and the brothers barge in as if invited in. Fíli gives Bilbo his weapons. When the other dwarves come into the dining table, Fíli is seen walking on it. After Thorin enters, Fíli says that they may be few in numbers, but they're fighters to the last dwarf.

In the troll-shaws, Fíli and his brother are charged watching the ponies.  The brothers have problem with a couple of trolls. When Bilbo comes to give them dinner, the brothers report that their ponies are gone. It's Fíli and Kíli's bright idea to send Bilbo and they say they're right behind him when he faces the trolls. In truth, the brothers abandon Bilbo to the trolls, but return with backup. This plan backfires when the trolls use Bilbo and threaten to rip him apart. Due to Bilbo's meddling, and Gandalf assisting teh sun to turn the trolls to stone, teh Dwarves are freed.

### Misty Mountains

After the dwarves realize Bilbo's not with them, Fíli is among those who is worried Bilbo didn't make it, but relieved to find him still alive. While Kíli says they almost gave up on him, Fíli asks how he got past the Goblins. Gandalf says it does not matter, as he is back. Thorin asks, and Bilbo answers that he came back to help the dwarves get their home back. All of them are touched by this.

After the tree tips, Fíli watches as his uncle faces down the Pale Orc by himself. Then Bilbo saves Thorin and defends the former's defeated and unconscious body. Eventually, he, Kíli and Dwalin manage to get their footing, rushing in to protect Bilbo and Thorin from the Orcs. Fortunately, the Eagles find Thorin and Company and fly them to the Carrock into safety.At the Carrock, Fili helped his uncle up from sturggling to get up all on his own.

### Beorn

Fili runs with everyone in the company from their current host, Beorn. He was of course uneasy with it, seem fixing his jacket over and over again. He and Kili are introduced to him as the second to last group of dwarves.

### Mirkwood

Fili called for his brother out of worry, only to find him being chased by a Spider until Tauriel intervened and saved him from death.

He also shows concern that the Quest has all been for nothing. Fíli stays behind in Lake-town to support his brother, and defying Thorin into continuing on with the remaining company. No matter on how much Fili, Bofur and Oin can console Kili, it does not help at all. They are also assisted by Bard and his family, Sigrid and Tilda. After Bilbo awoke Smaug, FIli told Bard to take his children and leave. Bard says there is no where to go.

## Relationships

### Family

Fíli is a descendant of the Line of Durin, and directly descended from Durin the Deathless. Dís is Fíli's mother, and does love her, yet scared of her. Thráin was his maternal grandfather. Thrór was his great-grandfather. His father is unknown.

#### Kíli

Clearly, these two brothers are partners-in-crime and best friends. Fíli is caring, protective and strict over his younger brother. They tease anyone, including themselves. Although not twins, they are inseperable. Fíli is always there for his brother as Kíli is always there for Fíli. They arrive together at Bag End, and sit by the fire before they teased Bilbo on Orc raids. Both of them were tasked to watch the ponies, and even though Fíli is older than the two, he follows his brother's lead.

#### Thorin Oakenshield

Through his sister, Thorin is Fíli and Kíli's maternal uncle. They are considered his sister-sons over being referred to as his nephews. Fíli was raised by Thorin, and Fíli came to love Thorin as a father figure, hardly knowing his own father. Sometimes Fíli and Kíli don't bother to tell their uncle about things. They send Bilbo out to the trolls rather than ask Thorin for help.

### Bilbo Baggins

Fíli became one of Bilbo's friends, along with the other dwarves. Fíli takes the pleasure in teasing Bilbo, as if he was their younger brother. He and Kíli get Bilbo involved into their schemes. He abandoned Bilbo to the trolls, but they both came back in the end. Fíli and Kíli were among the others that wanted Bilbo to come back. When Bilbo does come back, Fíli is relieved to see the hobbit alive and well.

In *The Battle of the Five Armies*, Fili refuses to harm Bilbo when Thorin is under the impression Bilbo betrayed them and even screams "no" when Thorin tries to kill Bilbo. After the hobbit falls down, Fili helps Bilbo up, along with Bofur.

## Personality

Fíli is a stubborn dwarf, but reasonably fair. He is childish, immature, and reckless, energetic, and eager. He is caring, protective and strict over his younger brother, and his other friends. Unlike Kíli, Fíli knows when to stop messing up. Fíli is a bit careless, but time and time again, he does come to care at the end. Even though he even teases Bilbo, Fíli does care about him, as shown when he is relieved Bilbo came back alive and later tried to stop Thorin from killing their companion. Fíli is also loyal and loving to his uncle. He is also very brave. Mostly does what he's told and more levelheaded (TV Tropes. The Hobbit trilogy characters).
