Christian virtue has never placed value on physical beauty, Classical Greek values did. To combat this disgusting oversight make your body attractive, without that you are just larping.

>But she was hideous wasn't she? Both of them where very ugly and undesirable which is why they ended up together

Men, without women, will fuck the most womanly of them given enough time.

>So despite being weak, ugly, clumsy and all that he still manages to have something redeemable about him. even though he was weak and a coward.
In a novel that prides itself on the grit and the grime of war and violence, those attatched to Samwell seem to fare quite well and be spared the worst. Having him do X by author fiat is lazy writing and poor creative thought.

> He also had the talent or capacity to be a gifted scholar.
The world is based on strength and the capacity to do violence, that is one of the central themes of his books. Sam is not able to condone or commit violence, yet is able to thrive for reasons that can not be explained except author self-insert.

>He was a man in the wrong environment that despite his weakness and cowardice had something good about him.

None of this is good, meekness is not a virture. To be good you must have the capacity to do bad, Samwell does not, thus he is not good he is simply a powerless victim.

His namesake Sam Gamgee had the capacity for violence, having threatened Aragorn, fought ringwraiths, orcs, goblins and bullied and treated Smeagol cruelly when he was lying. Yet was capable of controlling that darkness when the Ring came in to his possession.

This is how to write a brave and morally good character.
