Maybe it's because of those gleaming brown eyes, who knows for sure, many describe beauty in all different manners. A lot of people have mentioned that sometimes when the sun is just right, she glows, it's odd for most but it is believed to be true which earned her nickname.

[/list] [b][h3]Upbrining/Backstory:[/h3][/b] Arryn was born in a family with 6 brothers, with Arryn being the second youngest, she was easily influenced by her brothers to do things a male would do. With that being said, she grew up as a tomboy who loved spar with her brothers who wielded swords of their own. Most of her brothers became knights except for two, one of them being the youngest. Though Arryn swore to protect her brothers she wasn't trained as much as she is now. Back then Arryn was clumsy and had trouble carrying a sword and a shield at the same time. Time passed and her body became fit for battle, and just in the nick of time. The encampment they were training in had enemy forces and since their encampment was small it was 50 of them vs 150 soldiers. Arryn got ready, her brothers beside her, a broadsword on her main hand and a kite shield on her right. The commander of the encampment questioned how they found the place when it was practically hidden in the middle of the forest. The commander stated that the best way to defend is for them to leave the encampment and out into the open battlefield of the forest, so as the enemy got close, they did just that; battlecries could be heard as two forces clashed, her brothers already doing much better than her but everyone knew that were going to be overrun and they slowly perished, one by one. Three of her brothers have died, one of her brothers sacrificed his life for another and one of the two remained pleaded that Arryn and her other brother Vareth to run and hide in the forest. Arryn was being pulled away by Vareth just as the other brother was impaled, and both of them dropped their shields.. They ran into the forest, past the trees and a few creaks, with three enemy soldiers chasing them. Her brother then got hit by arrow in the back of the knee and they ended up into this open area, with one tree in the middle a tower shield resting on base of the tree. As Arryn dragged Vareth towards the tree, the three soldiers came marching at them. Vareth got up and held his sword and they stood back to back. Vareth got one and Arryn got another, but Vareth's leg gave in and fell down. Arryn then got distracted and the sword was thrown out her hands, the soldier hit Arryn with the hilt of his blade and knocked her to the side. He got ready to strike down Vareth, but [s]Arryn put her hands on the shield and pulled it from the ground, as it touched the sunlight[/s] she slammed the shield right on the soldier's head and knocked him unconscious.[s] Vareth looked at her, and he shielded his eyes asked if she was glowing like that before.[/s] Arryn felt nothing change about her, but whatever it was it can be talked about at another time. Arryn then took the shield and her sword, her brother turned to the man and finished him off, but Arryn so no need to do so. She sheathed her sword and held the shield and supported her brother and made their way to the nearest city. That city happened to be Camelot. As they stayed there, her brother told her story and Arryn was offered to serve Camelot, she gladly accepted and took that position with pride.
