Eris Mavis? Who is she? Oh man....Let me tell you a little story, so sit back and relax because this is a good one. Eris, as a young 18 year old girl, does not yet have a sob story about how her family tragically died and I'm glad she doesn't,.. or even a heroic tale how she saved a kingdom with a single swing of a sword....unlikely to ever happen. No, that's not the kind of story I'm about to tell you, as her older brother, I can assure you that she's far from a hero. Eris, my baby sister, grew up with me, Jallard, a proud blacksmith at the age of 25, and our younger sister Gracie who 15 and is currently planning to study to be a writer, and our loving parents who work as tailors. During me and my siblings childhoods, we all lived on the Western border of the kingdom of Oren. We were not nobles but our family certainly didn't struggle financially. As a child, Eris was house bound for days at a time due to being so accident prone. She envied me and my sword fighting friends as we practiced in a field near our house. She'd sit in the window watching us for hours. Drawing was her favourite passion until she found out what our parents did for a living. They made clothes of many different kinds which were then sold to merchants who would go on to sell their pieces to whoever would buy them, or put them in shops around the region. Their work was not well known and they certainly weren't the most famous, but their jobs made them happy and let them take care of us, their kids. After years of drawing and sketching, our parents wanted Eris to try and get into an art studio to work on sketches for painters but she was not happy with this plan. At 14, she decided to storm into the local sword fighting practice and demand that someone taught her how to fight. She was rejected. She's so stubborn......It embarrasses me to say this but for the consecutive two weeks, she sat at the entrance of the sword practice arena with packed lunches every single day and commented on every mistake she personally could spot about each practice round until eventually someone asked if she was so determined judge them, then why hadn't she tried to fighting for herself and show how "great" she was. This was obviously her goal seeing as how she's so persistent about everything and of course, she lost the match, but the master saw how determined she was to win the fight and decided to let her train under one of his older students. This changed her life....though...I have no idea if it was for the better...Even if she trained, she was still bottom of her class with her clumsy strikes and lack of body language reading. After two years of the same shenanigans, the master kicked her out and said she needed to take matters into her own hands and discover why she was fighting for. She needed to figure this out on her own. Was it a childish dream or something more...something deeper in her soul...That's something she'll have to find out for herself, but to tell you the truth, I'm not that hopeful for her, she's friendly, pretty, and has tons of silliness inside of her, but is that enough to succeed? She's suborn and can be rude sometimes but I love her, so I'll support her. Eris is my baby sister after all. Eris decided to start trying to make clothes for herself and even tried ribbon dancing in a tavern which....well...yeah. Didn't end well. She's made some friends here and there along the way and is currently preparing to travel to the capital of Oren, Providence, to try out for a knight's position or get a job as a tailor. Knowing her, anything could happen. That's my sister! Eris Mavis of Oren folks!
