Character Summary

// CW //
Mass Death, Parental Death, Terminal Illness, Loss of Homeland, Violence

Arden was unlucky to be lucky; she was the only fairy in her homeland spared from a mysterious illness that spread throughout the population. Both her parents fell victim to it when they were in their teens, and it wasn't long before the illness began to take its toll on her twin sister as well.
Further tragedy and a desire to find a cure for her sister, a true cure, brought Arden to Ishvalar where she studies runes, monsters, and medicine. She is often found near Ceres, though ventures off on her own for her studies.

Dozens of remedies for every ailment under the sun, but the one time I need a cure, I can't find it!

Around Ceres, Arden is nothing like her outside self; she views Ceres almost like an extension of herself and struggles to even distinguish herself from her twin. With others, however, Arden is more of herself – a guarded woman, scarred, and yet, hopeful.

Though Arden is slow to trust, that doesn’t make her heartless; she is supportive with those she views worthy and will channel all her ambition and protectiveness into their hopes and well-being. She is also unwaveringly loyal once you have earned it and would be the last person to ever betray one who has confided in her. Still, Arden keeps most, if not everything, close to her chest and can keep secrets to the grave if she must. Her private and untrusting nature contributes to her anxiety and loneliness, however, as she frets over the dangers of others and keeps them at arm’s distance, just in case.

Intelligent, athletic, and stealthy, Arden's talents allow her to pursue her goals relentlessly. Nonetheless, she is not without her faults. When push comes to shove, Arden has a tendency to become impatient and make careless mistakes when desperate enough. This is not helped when she knows her own intellect and has difficulty seeing other options and, when confronted with said shortcomings, often falls into defensive outbursts in an attempt to adhere to what she believes is “right”.

Notes

Though she can fly, she carries so many things in hand and under her skirt that it weighs her down and keeps her from flying much higher than a foot or so. She could fly higher, but only briefly, as it strains her to fly encumbered.
Unless she is going into dungeons, Arden typically leaves her staff at home.
Arden prefers to wear her hood around everyone who isn't Ceres.
The flowers & vines on her antlers grow and fall, so they can be drawn in different patterns!

Combat Notes

Arden makes use of flight to gain an upper hand in combat.

When using Water Pulse, Life Dew, or any Water-type spell, the gems on her staff and/or cowl will glow.

She also keeps some knives in her skirts, though those are more so used to cut herbs rather than to attack. She is most effective as a caster.

Moves

Water Pulse - Water // 20pp // The user attacks the target with a pulsing blast of water. This may also confuse the target.

Pulsing water erupts from her staff; when found without her staff, she instead makes use of the charged gems on her clothes to draw moisture from the air.

Grass Knot - Grass // 20pp // The user snares the target with grass and trips it. The heavier the target, the greater the move's power

Long, coiling grass bursts forth from her staff to ensnare her opponent; when lacking her staff, she carries seeds to draw grass forth from the earth instead.

Pollen Puff - Bug // 15pp // The user attacks the enemy with a pollen puff that explodes. If the target is an ally, it gives the ally a pollen puff that restores its HP instead.

Bundles of herbs and pollen of her own making are kept tucked away in her fluff or fur, enchanted to have different effects on friend and foe.

Life Dew - Water // 10pp // The user scatters mysterious water around and restores the HP of itself and its ally Pokémon in the battle.

Instead of summoning forth water to attack, she instead enchants the summoned water to heal on contact. Most effective with external injuries.
