Legolas was not completely of the Silvan Elves, despite living among them. Legolas was at least part Sindar because he was the son of the Elven-king Thranduil, who had originally arrived from Doriath; the identity of his mother is entirely unknown. This is made more difficult by the fact that Legolas was a member of the small minority of Sindarin Elves who controlled the primarily Silvan Woodland Realm of Northern Mirkwood. It is possible to argue that the Sindarin minority in that realm, who ought to have been more intelligent and noble than the Silvan Elves, had turned native at the end of the First Age, returning to a simpler society following the fall of Morgoth and the destruction of all the great Elf-kingdoms of Beleriand. Legolas, like all Elves, loved and respected the natural world. He yearned to return to Fangorn Forest to fully experience its wonders after the Fellowship had left. Despite the fact that in Middle-earth, Elves and Dwarves seldom rarely showed affection for one another, he was compassionate and deeply cared for his friends, including Gimli the Dwarf.
