Eryndes Aravir, also known as Eryn, is a youthful, female wood elf which left Dominion to explore the rest of Atlas. While being 57 years old, in human years she seems to be a young woman in between her early and mid twenties, measuring 1,72 meters / 5ft 7 in height.

A well written visual description of Eryn would be of a slim and muscular lady, with long, wavy light green hair and dark beige eyes and a chocolate skintone. About clothing, she wears cinnamon brown gloves, a black brown tank top which fully covers her chest and part of the stomach, and beige shorts that are halfway to her knees.

Personality wise, Eryn could be simply described as a quiet, artistic and keen eyed girl. Not knowing if other people would appreciate talking to her, she not oftenly strikes up a chat, and especially dislikes small talk due to the fact that she either has a full and loud conversation or is mute as a stump. Her natural passion for nature blended itself with her creative persona, using her skill in finding beautiful flora, her sharp sight and her favorite perfumes, Eryn enjoys creating aromatic flower crowns as a hobby, also thinking about entering the wood carving branch of manual works. As mentioned earlier, she has a keen eye both from nature and training in archery, noticing things others would need to search intently to finally find.

Other present traits are her intense wariness and straightfowardness. For pure instincts, Eryn has built up a few walls around herself, always wary around strangers, specially those who seem to be dangerous, tensing up and reaching for any weapon she might have at the moment whenever one of them approach her, or someone she is close to near them. About her brutal honesty, she often speaks her mind and that creates an image of a rude person, although some like her for how she isn't afraid to speak up. She oftens needs her space to think, and gets snappy and moody whenever people interrupt her with unimportant subjects whenever she is doing something she deems interesting. Eryn, whenever inspired to do something, will only stop when her needs come down, or when it is clearly, and very clearly impossible in any way.

Eryn's parents, her mother being a lone nomad traveller named Lagorbes who wandered around the north of Atlas in search of knowledge mostly about archery, eventually stopping at towns and cities to restock and take shelter, and her father, Mírdan, a man who lived in Dominion with a family business, of which consisted of selling accessories for bows and arrows met in a not so unusual way. Lagorbes, in her weekly stops at local cities, had some money to spare from selling animals' pelts and entered Mírdan's shop, glancing around. He, impressed by her beauty of which was hooded on by her cloak, tried asking her name but ended up not attending her, since she started talking to another employee of the shop. As Lagorbes left without a trace, Mírdan talked with all merchants he knewto know more about the mystery woman. They told him, that she just appeared around in two weeks.

And he waited, waited the two weeks to finally see her again, this time with confidence to talk with her. She liked him, and stayed at a local inn near the shop and his house for more than she used to be. Their friendship grew more and more, until they eventually told each other about their feelings. Since Mírdan's parents wanted him to take on the legacy of the shop, they firstly did not accept the relationship between the two, specially due to the facts that Lagorbes was just a nomad, and because Mírdan was their only child. But eventually, they noticed that they really loved each other, and that their son's happiness was way more important than the shop, and blessed their bond with a cozy and meaningful marriage that would forever stay in their memories.

Lagorbes was extremely happy with her husband, but from time to time started missing her nomadic roots. She then proposed to Mírdan a "honeymoon" where both would restart around Atlas, becoming two with nature. He, fascinated on how his wife could have lived like that, specially by being alone, accepted with great delight. Lagorbes taught him about basic surviving skills and archery, in a few years making Mírdan almost as knowledgeable as she. He also taught her how to repair her bows, how to make good deals, and more subjects about marketing, living off as husband and wife.

After many years of happily living together, Lagorbes had the idea to settle down and have a child with Mírdan. Fortunately, the conditions were favorable to their side, and eventually Eryndes Aravir was born.

~*~

Lagorbes and Mírdan came back to Dominion to have Eryn, and so with the help of his parents, she gave birth to a healthy baby, of which Lagorbes gave the name of Eryndes Aravir, one of the many names she had scavenged through almost all of Atlas' southern libraries. Until her nine years, Eryn was surrounded by books, nature, bows, and manual crafts. Naturally, she was always drawn to the bows her mother had, and even got a toy bow in her eleventh birthday.

As she reached her thirteenth years, she asked her mother for training in archery, due to her increasing interest. She trained whenever she could, even though the struggles of not being strong enough to draw the arrow or too small for the bow didn't bring her down. Each year passed by and her mother ran out of things to teach to Eryn. She surprisingly learned a lot quickier than she'd expected, and decided to send her to an archery class. Around the years her parents had trying to enroll Eryn in an archery class was when she dyed her hair in the light green color that it is today.

Luckily, they had matched classes with a well known archer, Faervel, who was over a couple of centuries and wished to pass on his knowledge to the next generation. Although the couple's friends advised that the professor's classes were too fast paced for any child to learn, Eryn quickly kept up with Faervel, who admired her determination to learn. The student-teacher bond based on archery gave the young wood elf another reason to love the practice, now that it had lead her to meet one of the people she were most comfortable with. The classes both had eventually grown into hunts outside the city around Eryn's fourteen years, now that Faervel had decided that warming her up to the scenario she almost always would be in, and testing her speed and agility would mould her in an even better archer.

As she became more and more confident in her bow skills around her fifty two years, she wanted to explore more of Atlas. Although she had already visited another cities and towns, such as the high elven city Okarn'thilln, it was only with her teacher Faervel. Eryn wished to discover the world alone, collecting maps and books about geography whenever she could. Her mother, Lagorbes, thought the idea was wonderful and resembled herself before meeting Mírdan, and along with her husband supported their daughter, along with Faervel.

She knew very well she had to prepare herself well to travel around the continent, but that did not stop her. Each day, she memorized city names by a cycle, writing them down, speaking them out loud, writing them down, and speaking them out loud again. Eryn read about creatures, other types of elves, dwarves, humans, orcs, and etc. As she researched was when her love for books blossomed, causing her to almost forget to sleep as she found out about the types of magic.

Now, finally starting her journey around Atlas at her fifty seven years, with her only bow, books, maps, and her passion for adventure, Eryndes Aravir travels wherever she can, with a thirst of knowledge to sate.
