Bilbo Baggins was the only child of Belladonna and Bungo Baggins. He learned his adventuring skills from his mother and farming skills from his father.
He inherited Bags End when he was sixteen, after a horrible winter that had killed almost a third of the small village of the Shire. Instead of selling it or worse marrying the neighbors daughter Lobelia, so they could get their hands on his farm, he made it prosper.
He knew he was the talk of the village as he decided not to marry, and had plans to give the land to his neighbors the Hamgees.
Then one day his world changed, when a group of refuges landed on his doorstep. He heard them asking for help at the town center but no one wanted anything to do with them. Bilbo refused to let them wander off without food and rest. He would tell you he fell for Kili and Fili first, and then young Gimli. When they stated their father couldn’t enter his home as he was to tall, he couldn’t believe it so made a plate of food and marched to the barn to give the inconsiderate bastard a piece of his mind on being a gracious guest! Only to realize that yes Thorin couldn’t enter his house as he was huge! Bilbo wasn’t small but he felt tiny compared to him.
They ended up staying a week, and Bilbo spent all the time with Thorin. He hated the idea of them leaving, and contemplating running off with them, but new his duty was his farm. Only for fate to step in, and they all had to flee as the Shire was destroyed.
It was on the trip he learned about Erebor, the dragon Smaug, and the fact Thorin was technically dead. Once they arrived and met Builwyf so many of his questions were answered. He knew he belonged to Thorin, so took Gran’s offer to be Turned.
