Description Details Arahael stands at approximately 5 feet 10 inches, and weighs around 140 lbs. She has very piercing hazel eyes, long dark lashes, beautifully arched dark eyebrows, and lightly tanned skin. Her golden hair has a natural curl to it, though the bottom is normally tied back behind her head. Her body is thin, showing only minimal curves. She always carries herself with an air of grace, her posture flawless. Simple yet elegant gowns of varying fabric are her normal attire, never showing many jewels, rather a simple necklace or hair piece. Her expressions are mostly serious, only smiling when her position requires it of her.
Skills: Ara has an extreme talent of the spoken word, and excels in diplomacy. She can always make an argument for or against any subject. She has great intelligence, and knows her biggest asset is her mind. She is also extremely skilled with a bow, knowing that she has to have some way to protect herself. She can aim very well from short or long distances, and even from horseback.
Weakness(es): Ara's obvious weakness is physical strength. If she ever had to compete in close combat, she would easily be defeated. She would prefer a battle of wits before a battle of weapons.
Equipment: A beautifully crafted bow with a sling of arrows.
Personal Summary: Ara is proud to be an elf, and holds many of the same views her race does. She knows how evolved and intelligent her entire race is, and truly believes they are the superior race of Messiah. She appreciates and respects the beauty of nature, frowning upon any who would mistreat it.
Personality: Poise and grace are two words commonly used to describe Ara. She enjoys being looked up to (thanks to her position in society), and always feels that it is necessary to hold oneself up with great respect and dignity. She is highly determined to always be the best at what she does, and so far it has worked out in her life. She acts how society expects her to, and never disappoints. Personally, she does care and respect everyone, including other races. She knows each race has had their accomplishments and setbacks. However, she does still believe that elves are the best and most superior race. She only resorts to hate specific people after meeting them and finding their qualities very distasteful. She has few close friends, and does enjoy having fun with them on rare occasions. She does believe it is important to let loose every once in a while. She has told herself she doesn't want to become the 'typical elf' who not only think they are the best, but look down on everyone else, including some of their own race. She doesn't bother herself with looking for romance or love. She would much rather work towards advancing herself in society, and making the society as a whole better.
History/other: Ara was born on Ville, as most elves are. When she was a child, right before coming into her teenage years, she became very ill. Many who came to see her told her family that is was hopeless, there was no way she could overcome her illness. She became angry, hating that they were so easily willing to write her life off. And of course, she was a long-eared elf, which meant her life just wasn't as important as those short-eared elves. She vowed to herself to become healthy again and live a long life, just as every other elf did. And surprisingly, the illness didn't take her. She became healthy again, returning to school once more. From that moment on, she became determined to surpass other's expectations of her. This she did as well. She always received top grades in her classes, her intelligence clearly greater than the other children. After school, she continued studying on her own time, really trying to understand the elves' hierarchy and diplomacy styles. Much of the island was surprised when her name was put forth to fill the newly empty council seat, especially since she was only 23 years of age. Yet, they did choose her to fill it, and she became the youngest member of the present council. They all told her she must cut her hair, but she refused. They finally accepted that she would tie her hair behind her head at all council meetings, making her hair appear shorter than it was. Some of her people praised her for her fresh and somewhat different views, while much more often she received criticism. However no one could doubt her intelligence, and slowly others were beginning to see the value of what she saw through her youthful eyes.
