Bofur has a striking, cheerful personality and loved to party at Bilbo's house and was cheerful when singing at Rivendell, where the dwarves grew bored of the Elves' love of the art. It is said that he shows great optimism but one of his greatest flaw was to point out the obvious. He has a fine taste in the arts of music and knows how to play the flute. Bofur has also been teasing to his brother, but still cares for Bombur and Bifur. He became very fond of Bilbo.
