Her typical outfit consists of a white zip-up jacket over a slightly over sized long-sleeve shirt. She wears a knee-length grey skirt (with a pair of white shorts underneath,) and black boots. She doesn't have any tattoos or piercings, mostly because her fear of needles won't allow her to even walk within 50-feet of a tattoo shop. She has a single scar on her left hip, but its barely visible and of no concern at all. She does have a notable mole just below her eye, but thats it as far as it markings go.
{O D D I T I E S}
Barely detectable Swedish accent.
Shes Albino, if that wasn't obvious enough.

{Quiet | Insecure | Protective | Reckless | Sarcastic}
Araya is a conflicting kind of person. Someone who can be quiet and loud at the same time. She can seem a little annoying at times with how contradictory she can be, but for the most part she isn't all that hard to understand. She tends to be the voice of reason in most situations, despite her own reckless nature. She usually doesn't have much to say, unless talking about a subject that interests her. Possibly one of the most infuriating personality quirks is that she is an extremely protective, and doesn't seem to even realize it. For the most part Araya isn't all that complicated, her quite nature could suggest that she is shy but rather its more insecurity than anything else. She is self conscious at the best of times and at the worst she is downright self-hating. Of course when anything bad happens Araya always blames herself for it. Which is kind of the number one reason she hates when things change.
Being Stubborn and Determined go hand in hand with Araya to say that she never gives up. When she wants something shes going to go after it, and if she can't have it he will work at it until she can. However this makes her fearful of what will happen if she can't manage to achieve what she wants, and what will happen if she gets hurt in the process. But despite being afraid her reckless, and somewhat brash nature makes her seek it out anyways. Araya can be incredibly hard to get along with at times just because of her quietness alone, which makes it all the more special when she actually makes a friend.

A Viking Sword is her weapon form.
{S T R E N G T H S}At Least five
- Fit - Because of her constant working out and physical activity he is rather fit, and thus fairly strong. She may not be able to fight off a bunch of people in hand-to-hand combat but she is certainly capable of defending herself and getting a few good hits in.
- Communication - One of her strongest attributes, she can pretty much talk her way into or out of anything.
- Charming - This can help in plenty of ways, mostly she uses it to get what she wants.
- Speed - She is extremely fast when she needs to be.
- Resilient - Araya has always been able to withstand harsh situations and usually bounces back with minimal damage.
{W E A K N E S S E S}As many or more as Strengths
- Cannot Lie - She can, but its not going to be in a very good way. In fact all of her lies are so transparent that it isn't even funny.
- Protective - To a point she often ignores herself and gets hurt.
- Reckless - She rushes into situations without thinking, often resulting in injury.
- Impatient - She isn't the most patient person in the world.
- Aggressive - She doesn't mean to be, but she often offends people when she gets in certain moods.

Born to Julianna Kipling, she never knew much about her father other than she met him in Sweden while on a business trip. Arayas childhood has always been a sore topic for her to discuss. Since she was a child she has been forced to compete with her older "more talented" sister. Her mother always pushing Araya to be better than her best. She spent countless hours stressing over small things; suddenly her grades, her social obligations, everything that didn't matter before began to stress her out. It made her go a little crazy, and she eventually had a mental breakdown in which she said a lot of things to her mom that she didn't really mean and distanced herself from her sister. It wasn't exactly fair to her sister, who has only ever hurt her by being better than Araya in the eyes of their mother, but at the time Araya didn't care. She spent the next year and a half living in a state of stress induced depression, going through her days in a haze.
After some time her mother decided it would be best if she were to get some help, but being a woman of high status and wanting to keep up with her good appearances she decided that help would have to come from Arayas father. A man that Araya had never met before, whose name she found out is Aron. Araya was told the story of how Julianna and Aron met - though it wasn't a happy one and didn't exactly make her feel any better about her mother. Her mother had been on a business trip and met Aron after work hours at a bar, they got drunk, spoke a little and eventually had a one night stand. Because Julianna was there for a specific reason she stayed in Sweden for a number of months, enough to realize that she had gotten pregnant. Julianna sought out Aron to tell him, but due to their extreme differences and Juliannas life at home they never got together.
Araya decided that she wanted to meet her father, and arranged a visit with him which would last a month during the summer. While out there she learned a great many things regarding her father, and the family she never knew she had. With her father she felt like she could be herself, and not have to deal with the crippling anxiety that came with failure. Eventually at age ten she left her mothers house to live with her father in Sweden, even though it took quite a bit of paperwork and general work to actually get over there to live with him. It was worth it to be away from her mother and sister. Despite being so far away from her mother she still felt the same anxiety whenever it came to failing, so she began to fill her day with meaningless tasks to make herself feel better.
She lived with her father for many years, until the day she met a Meister and his Weapon. It was as normal a day as any other, and the only difference was that the Meister seemed to sense something about her that was different. He sought her out through a heavy crowd - and that is how Araya found out about her apparent ability to become a weapon. Of course she was a little overwhelmed at first by this discovery, as she hadn't known anyone else in her family to have this ability and it pretty much came out of left field. She spoke with her father and learned that it happened to be something that ran in his family, but he had never suspected that she would inherit it.
After that attending DWMA seemed like the only sensible thing to do.
