Gifio is a fanatic Minstrel coming from East Farting who adores everything about Rohan. After checking some drawings in the books of the Smials, Gifio thinks he knows everything about Rohan and no other hobbit can prove him wrong!

He made his garments fit the pictures in the books using the colors he think would look nice on him. Next he went to learn "Horse" riding... but... hmpf... these tall thingies are so though to mount. He would need a box every time to mount them so that is almost impossible. Also when he is up in the saddle, the ground is so far down below. So Gifio got a marvelous idea!!! He managed to haggle a tamed boar from a traveling dwarf merchant and named it "Horse". So he can claim he still rides a Horse like a true rider of Rohan!

During his early years as a tween, Gifio adored baby-shrews and searched for their nests to try to catch them and tame them. However mama and papa shrew weren't happy with that and often they bit him in the toes. Becoming almost traumatized by it, Gifio started to wear boots and never stopped with it, except during swimming, bathing, sleeping or cleaning them.
