Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudo-canon.
This could be a canon character, an OC, or a version of a canon character from one of my stories (e.g., NotYourself!Pippin). Whatever fandoms you like.

Elijah
He had this thing in some of the first movies he did, but especially The Good Son, where he and Mac were just as friendly with the cameras off as when they were shooting and, more importantly, David was just as warm and caring as a real dad (or maybe so than some real dads). And it was hard getting to the end of a shoot and realizing that, yeah, this guy would still give you a hug when you saw him at the premiere, but he wasn't going to be a part of your life anymore, it wasn't real. Or maybe (he got to thinking later) it was real, but it was only temporary. So he got to thinking of costars as people you'd hang out with on and off set. Besides the role you were playing for the film, you'd take on the role of foster son or best friend or (with Christina and Leelee) kissing friend or (with Josh) um, more than kissing friend. But it wasn't who you were, it was just what you did while you were there. And all that had to be undone when he met Dom, and Billy, and Sean, and Orlando, and Viggo.
Merry!
2. assumes that everyone will love Frodo, but has trouble accepting that anyone could love Frodo as much as he does.
3. thought that, being a hobbit and naturally resilient, strong, and optimistic, he ought to do more to help cheer up Éowyn and Faramir once they were left in the Houses of Healing with all their friends gone off to die, but found he had no hope left to share with them. He has never told a living soul (not Éowyn or Faramir, not Pippin, not Estella, not Frodo or Sam) how dark his world became in those few days. He only told Théoden the day they put his body in the ground.

I should concentrate on fic instead, right?

1. gets along very well with Esmeralda and Saradoc when he sees them and is grateful for everything they did for him, but still believes that it was done out of obligation rather than love, and doesn't understand how deeply they care for him.
2. tries to act very mature and casual about his taste for mushrooms but actually gets intense cravings that he'll do anything to satisfy, and even in that last year when he's back in the Shire trying to pick up the pieces of an old life and realizing it's impossible, still gets real pleasure out of eating them raw.
3. would probably have liked to have had sex with Sam but never actually got around to it what with their not being as close before the quest and with their being otherwise occupied while on quest and with Frodo being in a bad way afterwards.

Pippin
Pippin
1. loves freely (one could even say sluttily) but deeply and truly
2. when he was growing up saw Frodo as often as either of them saw Merry. Yes, Frodo and Merry had been raised almost as brothers, and yes, Merry and Pippin were closer cousins and closer in age. But Buckland was a long day's journey away and Bag End only a few hours on foot. And, with the obvious exception of Frodo, Bilbo always got along better with his Tookish relations (especially the more adventurous ones like Pippin) than with the Brandybucks. (Bilbo and Merry were never, close in my personal pseudo-canon, not close at all.)
3. is much more thoughtful, intelligent, and aware of the seriousness of the quest than he lets on. He makes a show of being playful and optimistic in order to keep Frodo's spirits up during a difficult time. (Reading

smitten!Aragorn
1. sternly reprimanding Merry and Pippin about the inappropriateness of joking, laughing, eating, and having sex with each other.
2. sternly reprimanding Frodo for touching the Ring. He doesn't seem to realize that Frodo desperately wants to be touched, and his sexual frustration has to go somewhere.
3. slaying, skinning, and smoking a stag. It's true that hobbits like to eat, but really, this is overkill.

I would like to know more about your Diamond, please. ♥
Diamond
1. She has very pale skin and dark brown hair, more wavy than curly. Her eyes are blue-grey, a little like Merry's but less shadowed.
2. Unlike every other hobbit I've written, she has an OTP. :) She never loved anyone before she fell for Pippin.
3. Before it happened she never thought she'd be a mother. She wouldn't have been surprised or even much disappointed to live the rest of her life alone, singing the songs she wrote to the wind. And then she was at Great Smials surrounded by a hundred hobbits she didn't even know and then suddenly (though of course it hadn't been sudden, and she'd had her time alone with her husband, and she'd had all those months of carrying it in her belly and then all those hours of pain, but somehow it seemed sudden even so) there was this squalling thing in her arms and it was wrong, she didn't think she could hold it. But then Pippin was with her, cooing at the baby and calling him "little lamb." And Diamond had cradled a score of little lambs in her arms and never dropped one, so when he said that, and then when he looked from the baby to her with all that love and the same smile, she knew that everything would be all right.

I love your Diamond so much, she is so great.

NotYourself!Faramir
1. Since he claimed it for his own, he barely ever puts it on. He has no need to become invisible and the power of it seems to work just as well when it hangs about his neck as when it's on his finger. The others can feel its presence, whether it's visible or not, and they know better than to disobey.
2. He isn't Sauron's slave. The Dark Lord spoke to him through the palantír and wanted him to deliver the Ring and the Halfling both. But now Faramir's sent Frodo and his friends are on their way to their home. And Faramir is on his way to see Sauron face to face, but he won't surrender it. He won't.
3. He keeps the broken pieces of the Horn of Gondor, and all the power he's gained doesn't allow him to put them back together, doesn't make it any easier to hear his brother's name.

Legolas
My pseudo-canon Legolas
1. doesn't talk very much so that I don't have to write him.
2. never thought he would come to admire any mortal, let alone seven of them, before he joined the Fellowship.
3. has awkward conversations with his fellow Mirkwood Elves about his relationship with Gimli, somewhat like a modern gay man introducing his boyfriend to his conservative but polite bourgeois family, except that they are not actually having sex.

Bilbo
-He's not as good a teacher of Elvish as he thinks he is.
-He goes through a lot of changes at different stages in his life but for the most part remains self-centered.
-He's very careful in his writing, puts as much care into the visual aspect of the letters on the page as into the meaning, whether it's Elvish or Westron, poetry or his life story. And that's part of why it takes him so much time and so many revisions to tell a shorter story, whereas Frodo feels driven to get it all written down and so gets it done relatively quickly.
