Character Name: Samwise Gamgee Character Journal: droppinnoeaves Status: Warden Pairing Information: Sam has been here before, and largely graduated Wu Xie through allowing him to grow where he needed to with gentle encouragement and friendship. But Wu Xie was an exceptionally easy inmate.
Sam is a father of 13, and he'd be the first to tell you that twelve of them are smarter than he is, and the thirteenth probably will be as soon as he's able to hold up his own head. But he's never felt over-matched by them. Sam has his own kind of intelligence, rooted in empathy and the urge to see things grow and flourish. He's also a gardener, and knows that pruning and weeding are needed to keep a thing healthy.
He'll be good for an inmate who needs to learn trust, as Sam is reliable to his bones. When he's handed a commitment, it becomes his whole objective until it can called complete. And to Sam, that commitment is indistinguishable from love.
But there are kinds of evil he cannot abide, and so inmates who seek to harm others not because of their own hurts, but just for greed won't be a good match for him.
