I'm starting to think that, except for the Bagginses, all truly memorable halflings are sociopaths.
Bilbo was a Thief, An Old Successful Thief.
Frodo, on the other hand, was adopted.
Bilbo got lucky. So, did Frodo. And both of them were manifestly country gentlemen who did not go on Adventures. Gandalf had to chivvy Bilbo into having his,
and Frodo had to have his because of Bilbo.
All other halflings I've ever encountered (including Tasselhoff Burrfoot, who is really a kender) have had noted sociopathic tendencies. Perhaps it is
because they're protagonists/heroes, who are noted for having a certain streak of insanity, no matter what the species.
