Jorgy Underash & the Hobbits of the Shire
Jorgy Underash is perhaps the strangest hobbit that ever hobbited. He's not sure where he came from; one day he simply woke up in a pile of campfire ashes in an out of the way neck of the woods in the Southfarthing. He woke with no memory of who he was or where he came from. He was certain one thing, he was a hobbit and he was hungry. He remembered his name was Jorgy, but aside from that everything was a blank. He picked the surname "Underash" because he thought it was puny and clever. Jorgy is a great fan of puns and wordplay, even if none of the words he used made any sense to him. He lived as a hobo hobbit for a while, hanging out with birds and squirrels and badgers named Reginald, but after being woken up one too many times by a cantankerous owl, he decided it was time to try and live with the rest of the hobbits.
Feeling the natural pull of Hobbiton and Bywater, Jorgy then made his way there. There were many things he needed to learn in order to fit in as a hobbit, like what second breakfast was, what elevensies
actually was, how to wear clothing (preferable before actually reaching Hobbiton) and how to walk properly. Many of these things, aside from the clothes wearing, he learned from his new best friend in the entire world: Pearl Brockhouse. Without Pearl, Jorgy would be a hopeless mess instead of a silly mess. She's taught him to read and write, how to cook (nothing more complicated that muffins at this point), and how to set up a house (which Jorgy is still getting a hang of).
Each day, Jorgy hopes to learn more about what it means to be a hobbit and how to fit in better with his new community. Elsewise, there isn’t much to tell about Jorgy, he gets lost very easily (and when he gets lost, he gets very lost), and loves the idea of racing. Running, hopping, and skipping are some of Jorgy’s favorite activities. He hopes to learn more and have as good a time as any, this includes buying a goat from the Market, writing a book of poems about cooking, and learning to play the tuba.
His neighbor, the kindly Old Widow Pumpkinberry looks after him too, making sure he's fed himself hasn't accidently been buried alive in a pile of all purpose baking flour.
Jorgy might be a strange hobbit when viewed next to other hobbits, but what he lacks in "common hobbit sense" he makes up for in heart, love, adventurousness, and imagination. He is fiercely loyal to his friends, especially the ones that have shown him kindness and understand on his weird roundabout journey. While he knows he has a ways to go before he learns everything, he eagerly awaits each new day as an opportunity to learn something new about himself and the people around him.
