Celandine Brandybuck was the third and youngest child of Seredic Brandybuck and Hilda Bracegirdle.

History

Celandine was descended from the line of the Masters of the Hall of Buckland: specifically, from Gorbadoc Brandybuck. Along with her parents and her brothers Doderic and Ilberic, she was present at Bilbo's Farewell Party.[1]

Etymology

Celandine is the name of three different flowers (two poppies and one buttercup). The name derives from the Greek, via Latin, χελιδώνι (chelidoni) meaning "swallow".

Portrayals in Adaptations

2007: The Lord of the Rings Online:

Celandine is a non-playable character. She is captured by Blackwold brigands during the introduction of the Shadows of Angmar.
