The wise wizard who always arrives precisely when needed.
Gandalf, in longer form Gandalf the Grey and later Gandalf the White, is a protagonist in J. R. R. Tolkien's novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. He is a wizard, one of the Istari order, and the leader of the Company of the Ring.
Analyzes every angle before acting, never rushing to conclusions. Deeply analytical and reflective by nature.In Tomodachi Life, set this Mii's sliders so Speech + Movement totals 4–7 and Thinking + Energy totals 0–3. See the full Thinker guide →
Why this fitsGandalf is measured and quiet for a leader — most of his power is research, counsel, and patient nudges rather than direct combat. That contemplative profile fits Thinker (low Speech + Movement, low Thinking + Energy).
To make a Gandalf Mii in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, open Mii Maker and pick long flowing white hair, a long full white beard, deep wise eyes, and an older lined face, then dress him in his signature grey-or-white wizard robes. The picker-by-picker walkthrough below works for both Nintendo Switch (LTD) and 3DS (original Tomodachi Life).
Use the system Mii Maker, then bring the Mii into Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream.
Diagrams show where the option sits in the Mii Maker picker (4 columns, scroll to reach later rows). Editor menus differ slightly between regions and console revisions — if an exact option is missing, pick the closest one.

This is a 3DS-format Mii QR code generated from Gandalf's Mii data. On a Nintendo 3DS, open Mii Maker → QR Code / Image Options → Scan QR Code and point the camera at it, then bring the Mii into the original Tomodachi Life. The Switch / Switch 2 has no camera, so it can't scan Mii QR codes — for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream use the step-by-step instructions above (or the online Mii creator).

Feature → the move to make in Mii Maker
The long white hair and full white beard are the whole silhouette — pick the longest white beard and flowing white hair the editor offers.
Give him a deeply lined older face with bushy brows and deep, wise eyes — Gandalf reads as ancient and thoughtful.
Dress him in grey (or white, for Gandalf the White) wizard robes and his tall pointed hat using LTD's in-game clothing — both are clothing, not editor parts.
Keep an average human build — Gandalf is humanoid, so a Mii captures him well; the beard and robes carry the recognition.
In Peter Jackson's film trilogies Gandalf is played by Ian McKellen, whose performance earned an Academy Award nomination for The Fellowship of the Ring.
He is one of the Istari — wizards sent to Middle-earth — but is in truth an immortal Maia spirit, not a mortal man.
He falls battling the Balrog at the Bridge of Khazad-dûm — the "You shall not pass!" moment — and returns reborn as the more powerful Gandalf the White.
Tolkien adapted the name "Gandalf" from a list of dwarf-names in the Old Norse poem Völuspá, where it means something like "wand-elf."
Frodo Baggins
The hobbit he guides and mentors through the quest to destroy the One Ring — Gandalf's closest charge.
The Fellowship of the Ring
The nine companions he leads out of Rivendell — hobbits, men, an elf, a dwarf and the wizard himself.
Recreate Frodo and the rest of the Fellowship as their own Miis and house them near your Gandalf Mii to gather the company — but Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream won't recreate the quest for you. Friendships there grow from proximity and shared time, and romance runs on dating preferences and zodiac compatibility, so who bonds with whom is down to how you play.
A Thinker-type Gandalf is the island's quiet sage — low on noise and bustle but deep on counsel, the resident others come to when they need a steady head. Thinkers room comfortably with similar calm personalities, exactly what LTD's roommate harmony rewards, so settle him with another contemplative Mii. Even a wizard can't script romance, though: who a Mii bonds with in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream runs on proximity, dating preferences and birthday/zodiac compatibility — never personality — so give your Gandalf a birthday and let the island, not prophecy, decide.
Use long flowing white hair, a long full white beard, a lined older face and deep wise eyes, then dress him in grey or white wizard robes and his pointed hat with LTD's in-game clothing. He's humanoid, so a Mii captures him well — follow the picker-by-picker steps above for Switch (LTD) or 3DS.
Either works — it's just a colour swap. Use grey robes for Gandalf the Grey (most of The Hobbit and Fellowship) or white robes for the reborn Gandalf the White from The Two Towers onward. The hair, beard and face stay the same.
In appearance, yes — which is why he builds cleanly as a Mii. In the lore he's actually an immortal Maia spirit in the form of an old man, one of the Istari wizards sent to Middle-earth.
Thinker fits best — set low Speech + Movement with low-to-mid Thinking + Energy in the panel above. It matches his measured, counsel-and-patience style of leadership rather than direct action.
