//history

Arwen is the second and last child of her parents. She was born and raised in a small Kilian village with fairly little knowledge of what laid beyond it's borders. Her family was quite successful with magic, and her parents had set rather high standards for both her and her brother, Aiden, though he seemed not to be affected by it. He was quite accomplished already by the time she was born, and she spent the early part of her life admiring him and struggling in his footsteps, unable to please her parents in the same way.

She had more magical talent than she was given credit for, however; unfortunately they never could find the right instructor to help her tap into those hidden talents, and her brother was busy learning dark magic, though he would set aside time to help her. In these times she also began to fancy him as well, in the sweet dreamy way that some younger sisters dream about marrying their brothers if only because they don't know any better. Though she was too young, and he was involved with a girl named Tallys, sister to Raisie, whom she idolized a fair bit. She couldn't help but become jealous, though was unable to explain exactly why when asked.

As her tenth birthday approached, a terrible thing happened. Her brother left the family to go visit a friend in a distant town. While she waited patiently for him to return, he never did, and eventually word trickled back that the friend's family had perished, and Aiden as well. Heartbroken, Arwen took some time to adjust to the idea, attempting to force herself to improve her magic and study habits because it was what he would have /wanted/ her to do, but instead she found herself failing utterly, her mind wandering as she found herself going into his room at night (holding the stuffed kitten doll that he had given her years ago) and, curling up on his bed when she couldn't sleep (because it was /okay/ when she was younger and would toddle in there; he always would protect her from the dark and the storms) and as she developed, dreaming of her brother and longing for something that she couldn't have.

The days that she remembers that he is gone are almost unbearable.

Her parents don't quite know what to do with her. They have been searching for a magic tutor to take her on with no real luck, considering how fixated she is on only having Aiden teach her.



//personality

Arwen is one of those dreamers, with the wide eyes and the thoughts that are always someplace else. She likes to talk about her dreams as if they were reality; sometimes she has difficulty in separating the two. It wasn't until her brother's apparent death that things went to such an extreme. She was always a little shy, a bit discouraged, as it seems that most everything she attempts to do is never good enough for her family; even though they have been the ones attempting to get her to amount to something and have become rather frustrated with her inability to do even simple spells at times. She is often yelled at for not being studious and attentive; though she does study on her own, when she is imagining that her brother is with her; it is simply in the presence of others that things turn out wrong.

It has been easier to fall prey to these states of dreaming instead of facing the reality that she does need to take a step and grow up, eventually. Though she is quite afraid of growing up. Despite her seemingly naive nature, and her numerous fantasies, she grasps the true meaning of things quicker than most people would expect her to. She is often considered as being a child, and her dreaminess allows her to listen in on most conversations as she isn't regarded as someone who would understand or even be paying attention to most things.



//appearance

Arwen looks quite young for her age, with a small, slender frame. Her hair is long and pale, falling midway down her back, though it is usually put up into two ponytails at the side of her head; a youthful hairstyle. Her eyes are wide and blue, and she is very pale. She doesn't dress in anything particularly unique or remarkable, and usually her mother will set clothing out for her.



//lyrics

darkness on the edge
shadows where I stand
I search for the time
on a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly
come closer than this
but all I remember
are the dreams in the mist
