Character Approval/Arianna Aftar

Betsyfrancisdamesmer

1) **Describe your character's backstory. Who are their parents? Did they grow up with Nobility, or were they of lower class? The character's backstory must be at least 2 paragraphs long.**

Ari tried not to come off as spoiled when she met people. She really really tried. But sometimes, people would catch her change of expression when they told her they were talentless, or were a bad match. It wasn't that she didn't like them exactly, she just had rarely met any lower class elves without her parents, who didn't try to hide their disgust. Hudson and Harbor Aftar were the definition of snobby nobility members. They looked down on bad matches, talentless and people with bad matches for parents. They were also very protective of Arianna, so they kept her inside their residence as much as possible when she was younger. They taught her about the amazingness of their fellow Nobility members, and how she should avoid the people in a lower class than herself. The first time she left the house, her parents took her to the sanctuary. One worker, a talentless woman, tried to start a conversation with Arianna. Her parents screamed at the worker. Out of all the times Ari returned to the Sanctuary, she never saw the worker again.

Ari loved animals. She loved them more than she loved elves, or any other species for that matter.Maybe it was because she didn't have many social interactions when she was growing up because of her overprotective parents, but she never really liked to be around people unless she was really close to them. Even though she was quiet and shy, she still was pretty popular in Foxfire. She had a lot of friends, and, to her dismay, a lot of people who had a crush on her. That first day when she walked into Foxfire, she seemed to be holding a sign that said "I'm pretty, my parents are respected nobility members, you can totally have a crush on me!". Ari hated the attention. At age 14, she manifested as a Beguiler and is really good at using her ability.

2) **What is your character's personality like? Are they respectable, or rude? The character's personality must be a paragraph long.**

Ari is quiet most times, but if someone is being rude to people she knows, she will stand up for them. She cares what others think of her at first, but once she gets to know people, she becomes the ditzy friend that she truly is. Ari is the sort of person who is obssesed with her friends love lives and does everything in her power to keep everyone happy.

3) **What does your character look like? Do you have a model in mind for them? (if you do, you only need to say who it is)**

Arianna has curly brown hair along with caremel skin and glacier blue eyes. Her model is Amandla Stenberg. Her parents constantly tamper the length and style of her hair.

4) **Describe your character's skill set. What they are good at? What do they want to be good at? What are they not good at?**

Ari is an amazing musician, as well as student. She is horrible at controlling her temper, but constantly tries to fix that. She also longs to be better at cooking.
