Name: Arya Dröttningu
Age:100
Race: elf
Appearance: Arya has green eyes and long black hair that is held back by a leather strap. When outside Ellesmera, she dresses in plain black leather. She wears a sword at her hip and carries her bow on her back. When in Ellesmera she allows her hair to flow freely and does not carry any weapons. She wears the elves soft tunics, felt pants and the elves' soft socks (in the book she is mentioned to have worn a green tunic cinched at the waist with a girdle adorned with moonstones). She also has the Yawë tattooed on her right shoulder in indigo ink.
Personality: Arya was usually stoic and impassive, giving no hint as to what her emotions might be. She refused most questions about her past to people who did not know her identity already, and even then treated most of them coldly and indifferently, including Eragon and her own mother, and with a very serious attitude. Her span of tolerance was short, and she frequently became annoyed or impatient with Eragon. She also tended to be opinionated and outspoken, often arguing with the dwarves because of their difference in beliefs.
Arya appears to hold traditional human gender roles in distaste, and reminded Eragon on more than one occasion that she is not a “helpless female.” She also mentioned during Brisingr that even after seventy years among them, she still doesn't understand why humans believe men and women should wear different things.
Perhaps because of her seventy year separation from her people and the death of her companions at the hands of Durza, Arya became solitary, aloof, and withdrawn. When among the Varden or even the elves, she tends not to have company, and on occasion even appears uncomfortable among other elves. Most of the time, she keeps to herself and out of other people's company.
After returning to the elves, she opens up more to Eragon, and becomes happier. In Brisingr they talk all night, and talk more openly about their feelings and past experiences with each other.
In one instance, Arya heals a minor wound of Eragon's, though he could easily heal it himself. This shows Arya might be beginning to feel the same way about Eragon that he does for her. Before Eragon and Murtagh engage in Brisingr, she pauses before telling Eragon something important.
Unlike the rest of her people, she was direct and practical in speech, rarely wasting breath with expressions or similes, and was not bothered with the idea of using animal products such as leather. Despite her solitary disposition, she was very dedicated to her people and cause, enduring endless tortures to keep the secrets of the elves out of the Empire's hands, and even willing to die for no reason other than to deny Galbatorix. She also seemed to feel a sense of duty in protecting or helping Eragon and Saphira at any opportunity. This is largely due to the Yawë that she took upon herself.
History: Early years
Arya was born a year before the fall of the Riders, placing her age near 100 years. Arya was banned from Islanzadí's presence because she chose to devote herself to the greater good of her race (symbolized by her acceptance of the yawë), and to the cause of the Varden. She has been the elven ambassador to the Varden for seven decades. She was appointed the courier of the one dragon egg Brom and Jeod had managed to recover from Galbatorix's clutches. She spent 15 years conveying the precious egg back and forth from Farthen Dûr to Ellesméra, in the hopes that eventually a new Rider would be found.
With the knowledge that the traitorous Twins had conveyed to him, Galbatorix sent the Shade, Durza, to ambush Arya and recapture the egg. The Shade managed to accomplish the former (while killing two other elves, Glenwing and Fäolin), but as he was closing in on her, Arya teleported the egg into the wilds of the Spine, intending that Brom, in Carvahall, would find it. Instead, the egg came to Eragon, and Arya was imprisoned in Gil'ead. There, she suffered horrendous treatment at Durza's hands, being tortured to the edge of insanity and death several times, but she refused to reveal any information about the Varden, the Elves, the ancient language,or the egg's location. Each day, she was given a dose of a deadly poison, called Skilna Bragh, then be given the antidote, Tunivor's Nectar, to ensure she wouldn't die while in their clutches, but would if she escaped. This also forced her to take the drug, as it probably would have been in the antidote, hence suppressing her powers. On the verge of going mad on account of her suffering, Arya began hallucinating and seeing scenes from her past, only furthered by her despair and the lack of compassion among her captors. It was revealed in Brisingr (book), that a soldier gave her a white rose which was the only kindness shown her in Gil'ead. Ultimately, Galbatorix, dissatisfied with Durza's inability to extract information from her, ordered Arya to be brought to Uru'baen, where he would interrogate her personally (fortunately, events would prevent this, thereby saving Arya from being forced to yield to Galbatorix, and the slow, torturous death she would likely have suffered when she was of no further use).
Later when Eragon rescued her, he saw the horrifying traces of torture that Durza inflicted on her, "The elf's arm was mottled with a layer of bruises and cuts; some half healed, others fresh and oozing. Eragon shook his head in anger and pulled the sleeve up highter. the injuries continued to her shoulder. With trembling fingers, he unlaced the back of her shirt, dreading what might be under it. As the leather slipped off, Murtagh cursed. The elf's back was strong and muscled, but it was covered in a layer of scabs that made her skin look like dry, cracked mud.She had been whipped mercilessly and branded with hot irons in the shape of claws. Where her skin was still intact, it was purple and black from numerous beatings."
She was born to of King Evandar and Queen Islanzadí she is the sole heir to the Elven throne. She is beautiful and wise and possesses superhuman speed, strength, and grace, like all other elves.
Roleplaying example: Yurina was in the middle of the city she thought the city was so beautiful that she had to be keep watching it until it was nighttime she was wanting to protect everyone in the city. She was trying to make sure that everyone in the city would be protected for centuries to come. She was now an elemental experiment thanks to her father's mistake he sold her to the people who made her into an Elemental experiment. She was only thinking of now of making sure that nobody gets hurt. She was so terribly hungry that she was trying to get the food that she needed. The world is a wonderful place once everyone works hard to protect it. Yurina thought. She was only trying to figure out what she would do now that she's an elemental experiment. She was really trying to figure out a lot of stuff, but she doesn't know what she could do now. She had to think of something because she was only trying to help people to work through the problems. She was really caring about all people because she couldn't be one of them anymore.
