* TheOutsideWorld: Nori is very curious about the wonders of the world and resents the Harfoots' fearful and secretive culture. Her mother has to remind her that adventuring is generally frowned upon because that's how the Harfoots always ensured their own survival. Adventuring outside might invite some unwanted attention from dangerous creatures that the Harfoots could never defend themselves from.

* QuestForIdentity: : The Stranger is an amnesiac AmbiguouslyHuman who fell from the sky near the Harfoot camp. When he wakes up all he knows is that he must find a certain constellation, but other than that, he doesn't know from where he is or what he is. He gets mistaken for an amnesiac Sauron by three worshipers from Rhun, and fighting them, he learns he is a wizard. With the help of Nori Brandyfoot, he travels to Rhun in the search of said constellation, hoping to learn why was he sent to Middle-earth.

* AdaptationalPersonality: While only hinted, he may be the future Gandalf, who in the books, is a rather grouchy and impatient GrumpyOldMan and a manipulative DeadpanSnarker with a fiery temper to boot. Here, he is almost the complete opposite of who he is in the books. He is always gentle, polite and mild-tempered. Because of his amnesia, the Stranger lacks most his manipulative traits, being still very naive about the world around him. In the books, he is noted to refuse to indulges the hobbit children, while here he befriends two teenage Harfoot girls.
