Name: Arava Reene Chander
Other Names: The only daughter of Kidrash Tarkaan, the son of Rishti Tarkaan, the son of Kidrash Tarkaan, the son of Illsombreh Tisroc, the son of Ardeeb Tisroc who was decended in a right line from the god Tash; Ara
Real Name: Aravis Tarkheena
Occupation (FT World): Future Queen of Archenland; Calormen Noble; Member of the Royal Court of Archenland
Occupation (Earth): Medieval Life Reenactor
Place Of Origin: Calavar, Calormen; Narnia
Age: 26
Affiliation (FT World & Earth): Chaotic Good
Appearance - Thirteen Years Ago (13 Years Old):
Appearance - Earth (26 Years Old):
Wardrobe Style :
Calormen & Archenland (Formerly) - Here, Aravis tended to wear belted tunics and loose cloth pants. She dressed more like a tomboy than a lady, only wearing dresses such as this and this when forced to by social events. She preferred things that were comfortable, things that she could fight in, and whatever would help to spare her from the overbearing sun. In Archenland, with the cooler climate and due to her responsibilities at court, Aravis adopted warmer clothing that would still prove functional in battle, such as this and this.
Earth (Presently) - When not working, Aravis would go for whatever clothing she could afford. Medieval Life didn't pay much, and raised as a foster kid, she was already used to shopping at Good Will almost exclusively. She would wear a hoody, a crappy t-shirt, and ripped up jeans about every day, rain or shine. When working, she would wear a ride variety of faux medieval outfits, such as this armor or this dress.
Relationship Status: Single (Complicated; Crushing on Prince Cor of Archenland)
Partner: N/A
Father: Kidrash Tarkaan
Mother: Aishwarya Tarkheena (Deceased)
Siblings: Devadas Tarkaan (Deceased) and Gopinath Tarkaan
Pet/s: A horse named Hwin
Other: Too many foster parents for Arava to recall; Parvati Tarkheena (Step-Mother); Ahoshta Tarkaan (Former Fiance)
Personality: Incredibly brave and loyal, Aravis never suffers from a shortage of courage. Before traveling with Shasta/Cor, Aravis was arrogant and egotistical, looking down on those who were not Tarkheenas or Tarkaans. Overtly prideful, this almost reckless pretentiousness toned down quite considerably throughout her journey to Archenland. While she still is a bit prideful, she no longer is the entirely self-centered person she once was.
Aravis can also be incredibly manipulative, able to analyze a situation quickly and make the best moves needed. However, she only does this if she believes it is for the greater good, never trying to actively cause harm to anyone. After punishment from Aslan due to her causing a slave to take a beating, Aravis has become more cautious and considerate towards the impact of her actions on others. She has, essentially, become a hero, willing to put her life on the line for others.
That doesn't mean however that she's going to suffer fools. Confident and decisive, Aravis is a very firm and serious personality, getting everything done. She hates those who sit around all day, preferring herself to constantly be accomplishing things. Hard work is how she relaxes--that, or reading a good book. She loves stories.
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Magic Capabilities:
None. She may claim to be descended from the god Tash, yet she has no powers.
Weapons:
Back in Calormen, Aravis was skilled with a scimitar. On Earth, due to her job, Aravis was skilled with a lance, straight sword, and rapier. In Calormen, she used her fallen brother's weapon. On Earth, she has weapons specifically assigned to her for her employment at Medieval Life.
Brief Biography (Life In Rivenspire - FT World):
Aravis was born in the province of Calavar, in the country of Calormen, deep to the south of Narnia. Her father was the ruling lord of the province, making her a member of the nobility, a Tarkheena. She grew up with a rather pleasant childhood in the supposed Golden Age of Narnia. She spent her time with her good friend, Lasaraleen, often playing at the lake. While Lasaraleen was more into gossiping and preparing for married life, Aravis enjoyed learning to sword fight and to wear armor, taking lessons from her brother Devadas before he perished in a war.
Her life took a turn for the worst when her mother died as well, causing her father to remarry. Her stepmother despised her and plotted to marry Aravis off to Ahoshta Tarkaan at the age of thirteen. Ahoshta Tarkaan, a vile and hideous man, was nearly fifty years her elder. Her father wouldn't listen to Aravis, so she fled to house, plotting to kill herself. Instead, her horse Hwin began to talk, convincing Aravis to instead flee to Narnia, rather than end her life. Along the way, she ran into a poor boy named Shasta, journeying with him and making their way into Archenland. It was there that Aravis and Shasta learned of his identity as Prince Cor during an epic battle between the Archenlanders and the Calormene. Prince Cor invited Aravis to remain at court with him in Anvard. Most everyone knew that eventually, Aravis and Cor would be wed.
Once King Lune got wind of Maleficent's plan, he sent the two young royals through a portal to Earth, in order to protect the future of Archenland's royal line.
Brief Biography (Life On Earth):
Aravis woke up in a hospital in Seattle. The nurses informed her that she had appeared almost out of nowhere, and consequently, had been hit by a car. She gave her name (Arava Renee Chander), yet had no other memories. Once released, they placed her in foster care. Too old to be adopted, Aravis spent her life going from foster home to foster home, lacking anything constant in her life. She learned to brawl with the other children who would pick on her for the color of her skin. By the time she finished high school, she was yet another one of the children who the system had failed, with a juvi record five miles long.
One day, caught in a fight in an alley, the owner of a Medieval Life location happened to spy her skills. He tested her ability with the sword, finding it to be remarkable, and hired her on the spot. Ever since, Aravis has lived on site with the Medieval Life crew, portraying a knight, a rogue, a bandit--whatever they need that day. The daily combat and escape from "real life" has proved far more beneficial to her than she could ever imagine. It's the first place she could ever call home.
Other: She was best friends with Queen Lucy during her time in Archenland.
