Author Games Magi: Eriswen Faervel

Tribute Form

Name: Eriswen Faervel (Eris) (Her last name means 'Strong Spirit')

Gender: Female

Reservation Number: 15

Age: 19

Appearance: Eris had long, silvery hair that's straight and normally in a sloppy ponytail or down. She has a slim boy build with a shy smile and mesmerizing grey eyes. Her cheekbones are high and she has elfin features with strong muscles from a lot of practice with weapons. Her skin is soft and slightly tanned from working in the sun. She's stayed in perfect shape, always ready for an attack, since Vaxon took over Castre.

Personality: Eris isn't afraid to make the friends she needs, but she's a shy, reclusive girl who often sits alone at lunch and does a lot of informative reading. She spends most of her free time throwing knives, practicing with swords and shooting her bow. She loves music and books, but often doesn't get much time for books with her training. She spends much time practicing and honing her powers as well, since she's particularly good with them. She's not very comfortable in normal situations, but excels under pressure and when everyone else is panicking. She's sarcastic, but usually only when she's angry. She isn't very outspoken due to her reclusive nature, but when she has something to say, it's generally wise to listen to her.

Region she came from: Odera. She didn't travel because she liked it just fine where she lived, but she did move a lot from the understory and the forest floor.

Background: Eris doesn't remember her parents. She lost them when she was three to some overly vicious hunters and managed to survive on her own for a little while with her powers before Mathas adopted her and trained her. From the beginning, she had extraordinary powers and amazing control with them, but she always wished she could do more with them, be better somehow. She never really had any friends, but she trusted and shared a lot with Mathas before Vaxon took over. Since she was only nine when it happened, she wasn't prepared for any of it. She was always good with animals, and had a way of understanding them, but when they warned her about Vaxon, she didn't have time to save them or warn anyone else. She watched from an empty treetop as everyone was slaughtered except a few. When they set fire to the forest, she ran, following the path that Mathas had taken when he and others had fled for their lives. The experience is burned in her mind forever, and she sees everyone who died that day in her dreams.

Magic: Eris is a Shield Wizard

Weapon: Bow, knives or sword. She's really good with any of them and she has some hand to hand combat training.

Greatest Fear: Crows. Her dragon warned her of them when it was old enough to start communicating with her and when Vaxon took over, there were thousands of them preceding his army. Since then, she's steered clear and took crows as signs of bad things to come.

Deepest Secret: She'd met Vaxon once, nearly starving on the roadside, and saved his life. Since then, she blamed herself for his takeover. If she'd let him die, none of this would have happened. If the others knew, they would hate her more than any of them already did.

Strengths: She has a stronger ability with Shield making than any of the other Shield wizards that Mathas ever trained. She's deadly with knives and she learns very quickly.

Weaknesses: She hates to watch people die, and even though she's willing to kill them, she can't watch them die. She gets little sleep because of her nightmares, and has taken to wandering at nights and avoiding sleep like the plague. She never learned to swim because she lived in Odera all her life and there was never any time for it in between training and surviving.

Family Members: None. She was an only child and her parents died. If she had any aunts or uncles, she never knew or met any of them. Her only real family was the animals in the woods. Mathas didn't really have much time for her with all of the other people he was training.

Favorite Mythical Creature: Definitely dragons, because they always liked her best and she loves to talk with them. She didn't find them very often since they hid from most of the other people, but they would come out when she was alone. She even raised one when she rescued his egg and named him Ionean. He follows her everywhere. Some dragons would let her ride them too, if they were in a good mood, and she always loved to feel the wind in her face as she flew with them. Of course, Ionean was always jealous of them when she got back, so once he could fly her places, she only rode with him.
