Arwen Arryn

Arwen Arryn is the eldest daughter of Lord Osric Arryn by his first wife, Rowena Waynwood. Born in the year 400AC, she is the eldest of his children.

Appearance and Character
Born to Osric Arryn and Rowena Arryn, Arwen's features favour her mother. Dark hair and womanly curves grant her a passing fairness and an austere look.

After witnessing the death of her mother in 407AC, Arwen's demeanour shifted from that of an amiable, carefree girl, to a far more serious and focused young woman. She grew swiftly, and with her height gained experience; learning a variety of skills not often taught to noble ladies, but suffered by her still sorrowful father. A healer, horse-rider, and careful observer, her will remains strong despite the tragedy of her past.

History
Arwen's youth in the Eyrie was a quiet and idyllic time, marred only by the enforcement of bedtimes and the denial of late-night sweets. She did not know hardship until her seventh year -- when an ambush on the High Road of the Vale saw her mother a wetnurse slain before her eyes.

Following that horrific event, Arwen ceased to speak for several months. Her father, then the Keeper of the Gates of the Moon, sent her to dwell in the Eyrie with Anya Hunter. She did not return to her father's household until a year later, and after some time was coaxed once more to speak.

Following the end of the war and Osric's ascension to the weirwood seat, Arwen began to socalize once again. With the presence of other girls her age in the castle, and the close eye of her father, she began to grow into a spirited if somewhat reserved young woman. In time she began to pick up skills from the Maester of the Eyrie, who spent time teaching his young ward all manner of secrets about herbalism, astrology, and cartography. From her grand-uncle Jonos she learned of birds; possessing a deep-seated love for the magpies he kept until his death.
