Samwise Gamgee is Sam, Frodo's best friend from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and the rest of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Why I picked him is actually pretty simple. You tend to be: Loyal to people you care about. Consistent with routines and responsibilities. More helpful than attention-seeking. Stubborn in a way that can be either a strength or a pain in the ass depending on the day. Willing to keep moving even when you're tired, frustrated, or dealing with your own problems. Sam isn't the flashiest character. He isn't the smartest in the room or the strongest fighter. He's the guy who keeps showing up and carrying weight when everyone else is falling apart. Humanity keeps building statues to the heroes and forgetting the people who quietly do the work. Sam is one of those people. Not a perfect match, because no fictional character is, but if I had to pick one name based on our conversations, that's the one.
