Arielle Keara Hastur of Elhalyn

• Age: 20
• Marital Status: single (but always dreaming of her "Prince Charming")
• Occupation: Looks after her family and is planning to build a school for the children living near Elhalyn Castle.
• Former Occupation: Matrix Technician at Arilinn Tower
• Residence: Mainly Elhalyn Castle. She also has a secret tiny hut by the sea at Dalereuth, where she seeks refuge every time she feels melancholy and needs solitude.
• Laran: Full Elhalyn Gift, some Alton and some Ridenow
• Politics: Moderate. She encourages the growth and development of Darkover, especially in medicine and education, but wants gradual changes. She generally likes Terrans, but mistrusts the Federation and those who interfere in Darkovan affairs. She is favourable to the Council and the Darkovan hierarchic system, but wishes men and women were more equal.
• Abilities
  • Unarmed Combat: poor
  • Armed Combat: poor
  • Horseback Riding: Excellent (horses are her favourite animals)
  • Interpersonal skills: She is very kind and sincere, a person you can definitely rely on. Calm, thoughtful and sensible, she rarely loses her temper. She is always ready to help her friends and people in difficulty (in fact she often uses her healing skills to help the community around Elhalyn Castle). Very sweet, generous, caring and sensitive. She hates hurting others and can't tolerate injustice. Always loyal to family and friends. Good listener. Usually people consider her very frail and vulnerable, so they tend to behave protectively towards her.
  • Laran strength and training: Her laran is really strong (especially her Elhalyn Gift), so she suffered a lot when she was younger. Fearing for her life, her family decided to send her to Arilinn Tower, where she trained for 5 years and became a very good technician and healer. Now she can control her laran very well: she is able to forsee the exact future among all the possible visions, and usually makes accurate predictions. When stimulated by "special" persons or places, she can see into the past and perceive relevant past events. Her empathy helps her to understand people and share their feelings: that's why everyone tends to trust her at first sight. But she is too sensitive, therefore sometimes the emotions she gets from the others are too strong and hurt her. She is also a good telepath and can shield most of her thoughts. She can use the Command Voice.
  • Weaknesses: Very shy and insecure, she tends to stay alone because she's always afraid of people's judgment. A bit naive and too trusting. Sometimes she becomes very melancholy and gloomy, so she gets estranged from everyone and keeps her emotions bottled up. She hates being in crowds, she prefers the quietness of her room to noisy parties and society life.
• Appearance: Arielle is very small and thin, with wavy auburn hair down her back and bright lavender eyes. She's graceful, has beautiful fine features and a melodious voice. She's considered a very attractive girl: no man can resist those lovely eyes and that sweet disarming smile!
• Pets: A black stallion and a fawn.
• Romantic relationships: She has a lot of suitors, but has never been involved in any romantic relationship because she hasn't found her true love yet.
• Hobbies: Loves art, music, literature, nature and animals. Likes reading, writing poems, painting, singing, playing the harp, dreaming, walking along the beach while staring at the sea.
