But then she did something that I think is interesting now, didn't she? Something that put her in the realm of the heroes if even for just a minute or so. She melded her humdrum life of herb lore and her sharp wits with a chance of a lifetime and ended up giving a wizard and a king the kick in the pants they needed. I (of course) would even argue that she put Aragorn in the right frame of mind to accept the crown. He knew who he was, but that little bit of King's hands and Althelas was just the right tonic for a would-be king. Hooray for the little people! (Which is one of the lessons I take away every time I read these books.)
Where there's life there's hope, and need of vittles. ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

Not at all, but Tolkien likes us to think he was - at least during the adventure.
