Best Answer

In 'The Hobbit', the elves are described as a fun-loving people. While the dwarves approach Rivendell, the elves sing taunting songs at them, but Tolkien also mentions several times that they are very wise. Elrond is described as 'as kind as summer', among other things. So I would think that the elves do not take things too seriously, value kindness, but also wisdom, and some (the Elvenking of Mirkwood, for example) value their privacy and secrecy. Craftsmanship also seems important, as does music. The Elvenking also seemed very proud.

In 'The Lord of the Rings', the descriptions of the elves make them seem far more 'serious', with less of the merrymaking described in 'The Hobbit'.

Why did the elvish-looking folk disappear when the dwarves went running into their camp?

If you are referring to the book "The Hobbit," we aren't told exactly. We do know that elves and dwarves had a long-standing grudge against each other. But it does seem as if the elves were trying to trap them, or at least to create an excuse for taking them prisoner. The elves in "The Hobbit" were more like the elves in Celtic folklore - silly, tricky, deceitful little fairies - than the regal, mysterious elves in "The Lord of the Rings." Legolas was a Mirkwood elf, one of the people that the dwarves encountered in "The Hobbit," and was not considered the equal of the Lorien elves.
