**Arabella Marwood** is the most recent member of the Dragon Wagon, one of the adventuring groups in Elysium, employed by the mayor of Starend. She is one of the protagonists of The Darkest Ring. She's a human cleric, former priest of the **main church of Olios**, located in Taj, Norisea. She now travels around Elysium, picking up jobs as a traveling doctor for unspecified reasons.

## Physical Description

Arabella is a conventionally attractive young human woman, with luxurious styled reddish brown hair and deep black eyes, similar in hue to the obsidian jewelry she often wears. Her outfit is adorned with gold accents, and pearl accessories drawing attention to her appearance where ever she goes. She's shown to have specific but extravagant tastes, possessing an extensive step by step skin and hair care routine. She's the shortest in the party, standing at about 5'4" just an inch shorter than Omari.

## Personality & Traits

Arabella is shown to have a very haughty and prissy demeanor. She's extremely picky about many things, and gets upset when she can't get her way or her strict routines are disrupted. She speaks with genuine, but harsh honesty clearly unafraid of the opinions of others.

Her demeanor suggests that she has a bit of a superiority complex from the way she openly judges others if she feels something is amiss. However, she never criticizes herself, even going as far to call herself perfect.

Though despite her prickly surface, Arabella is a very emotional and empathetic person. Shown by the way she was there for Faust and empathized with him, even offering an ear for him to talk to whenever he needs it despite him basically being a stranger to her. She also shows slight concern for the party after the fight.

## Biography

Arabella had a very lucky upbringing, with normal parents, and a secure upper-middle class life in Norisea. Her parents, Eleanor and Helio, were active in her early childhood. She was allowed a lot more freedom to be a child, generally being an overall menace with her sister and causing havoc around their household.

As she got older though, societal standards started to weigh down on Arabella, especially with her parents beginning to enforce them "for her own sake" as her mother would say. With her sister already rebelling, Arabella decided to strive for perfection in order to make her Mother happy, doing everything in her power to become the perfect daughter.

Though one day, at the age of 10 she made an exception to rebel this once for her sister. With a dare from her sister to go deep into the forest where they certainly were not allowed to go, Arabella never expected it to cause her sister to suffer an almost fatal injury. That was the moment that Olios visited her, and chose to bestow on her divine healing powers.

Her "perfect daughter" mindset eventually carried into her priest studies when she was whisked away to the church not long after the forest incident, she worked constantly day and night to finish her studies and prove her worth.

After several long years of study, she finally finished her priest training. Though, something was amiss. As she was about to give one last report to the bishop, she realized that he seemed busy, talking to someone else. It's unspecified why he was so agressive towards her once he learned he was eavesdropping, but its implied Arabella did something fatal to him out of self defense.

Overcome by guilt, she eventually ran away from home, and a little later down the line she became a traveling doctor in order to pay for her needs and generally survive.

### Liaro's Arc

At the beginning of Liaro's arc, after the party leaves the inn, Arabella is introduced by the Mayor. The mayor explains that because many have died on this mission, she's employed a healer in order to help them along their mission, and that's when Arabella's first appearance happens
