Bilbo Baggins has many character traits that are developed throughout the novel. He is a typical hobbit who likes to have things run on schedule, like his meals. He shares other hobbit traits like being a homebody and not very being very adventurous. Other traits such as his bravery, inner strength, self confidence and his sharp mind and his critical thinking that is developed as the novel goes on.

Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner!"
Bilbo the Hobbit is also very polite, mannerly and generous. Early on we see an example of Bilbo's good manners and generosity when he invites the old man, who turns out to be Gandalf, to have a pipe of his tobacco. Bilbo says "And a very fine morning for a pipe of tobacco out of doors, into the bargain. If you have a pipe about you, sit down and have a fill of mine!"

Even though he starts out in the early part of the book as a small frightened, nervous Hobbit as is witnessed by his behaviors with the meeting of the dwarves. When the dwarves were telling a story and Bilbo lets out a scream at the point where Thorin says that they may never live to tell...
