Kili is my favorite character of The Hobbit. One of the reasons I love the second Hobbit movie is because he is one of the more major dwarves in it. If Tauriel hadn't been added to the movie he would have gone by as just a normal dwarf when really he is quite extraordinary. He can reflect arrows with his sword and is the only dwarf that figures out how to escape from the elves when they are being attacked by orcs which almost costs him his life. What I like about Tauriel is that she isn't another Arwen. She is a warrior, a captain and will do anything to protect her love. The beauty of their relationship is that they shouldn't be together. The Elves have always hated the dwarves and vice versa yet these two fell in love despite that like Romeo and Juliet. If you read the book you know that Romeo and Juliet's fate is similar to Kili and Tauriel's.
