Physically.All characters whose strength along with their size results in a lack of agility compared to other, still very strong characters like Ned, John, Ygritte, Jamie, Brom... I could go on. The show also features a lot of physically weak but skilled characters like Arya, but they’re not who I’m talking about (and Arya gets decently stacked for her size by the end).That was my point. He is smaller, but stronger.Legolas isn’t bulky, but he is undeniably very strong. He’d have to be to shoot a warbow as effectively as he does. What must the poundage on that thing be with some of the shots he makes, and how strong must he be to make it look so effortless to draw? Apparently elf physiology must just not show muscle mass well, cause that boy is STRONK despite being so skinny.In all of these, characters are often strong without being physically bulky or especially large, and without magic. When characters are both strong and large (such as giants in Skyrim), they are also lumbering.</blockquote>
