The main protagonist in this book is Bilbo Baggins. He is a hobbit who is around 50 years old, which is about the middle of a hobbits' life span. He was a quiet, independent, respectful, and tries his best to escape adventures. He is the only son of the Bungo Baggins and Belladonna Took. When he was little, he was hungry for adventure, always trying to go past boundaries, and seeking the things of the outside world. He was always amazed of the fireworks that Gandalf would make in the Midsummer’s Festivals.

There’s a high risk of death for Bilbo, but his hunger for adventure eventually came through, and on his own extent, he joined the company.
