BACKGROUND: . Born five years after the Wizarding War, Eden Cross and Augustus Cross bore a beautiful daughter and named her Arwen. Despite the controversy regarding the Cross family and their pure-blood line, Arwen was brought up in a loving home. However, the Cross family were only together for two years before they were separated, sending their baby daughter away under the care of their trustful friends the Pendragons. Although Arwen was raised up in the Pendragon'S home, the family treated her as one of their own children in the midst of her "half" siblings. Through the years, the Pendragons told stories of The Cross', her family,  lineage and where she came from as she had a small ink of Veela blood running through her veins and why it was such a controversy. As Arwen heard stories of her families' courage and bravery, she felt pride as well as joy to be a part of such an astounding family. Her mother, Eden, was a healer while her father, Augustus, was a freelancing Auror. Hearing stories of her father's adventures and knowing the Pendragons were part of something so epic and amazing was adrenaline rushing. 


Arwen found her love of stories in listening to the Pendragons tell them, but found her curiosity growing even more when she wanted to read books and learn more about the world. Hearing her father's adventures and her mother's skills made her want to follow in their footsteps but that would require a lot of work. Arwen never faltered and continued her goal with the help of her half siblings and step parents. She loved them dearly and felt truly blessed to be a part of two families that were endearing and special in their own way. Arwen looked up to both of her families, even her half siblings were intrigued as well. When it was time for Arwen to attend school, she got into Beauxbatons and felt honored to be a part of such a beautiful school. Her desire to know more about the Wizarding World grew when she was at school, but even more so when she found out about muggles. Arwen would always be seen reading, researching, if she's not in the company of her siblings or friends she's made. However, as time passed on, a letter came to her during her third year of schooling, saying her parents had passed away. Distraught and despair was an understatement of the century, as she became driven to see how such an occurrence occurred and who had murdered her parents. At one point she became obsessed with wanting the honest truth but no one told her, despite her pleading with them, especially her step parents. She knew they knew but refused to tell her what exactly happened. Arwen was hurt and betrayed and found herself spiraling down her third year. She only found the Light again when she found comfort in the history books she stumbled upon regarding the lost of many lives due to war or even due to diseases. Arwen had felt and tasted despite, as it writhed through her heart and made her feel twisted and tormented. Because of such feelings and with the help of her step family, Arwen slowly became herself again, perhaps even stronger than before. The first time she ever felt her parents bond to her was when she first healed a student from an injury during an event and even more so when she performed spells. Whenever she did something for the sake of others and not herself, she felt as if her parents were right with her. Arwen didn't hold any grudge against her step


family, instead doted on their connection and support. 


As her third and fourth year passed by, it was her fifth year and it was time to take the N.E.W.TS. She passed with many Outstandings as her siblings passed with Exceed Expectations or Outstandings as well. She has a great relationship with her siblings and her step family that she dotes on them often. So when it was time to pick her occupation, she knew of her decisions. However before she went on with it, she had asked for their opinions and surprisingly, they went with it. Overjoyed for such love and happiness, Arwen gladly applied to become and Auror after she graduated. But, before she became an Auror, she trained and practiced her skills in healing which included potions and herbs while she also practiced her charms. However, what she didn't expect was to not only be a new recruit for the Aurors, but the task of being their double spy against the upcoming Dark Lord rising. She heard of the news that spreaded like wildfire when she graduated, but she couldn't believe it would happen so soon! Nevertheless, she admired Harry Potter and the Dumbledore Army that she had set her heart on being the Light in other's Darkest time as her family called her the Evenstar.


BLOOD STATUS: Pure-blood, however, in her family tree, there are traces of Veela blood, but nevertheless, specifically in Arwen's blood, there's little traces in her bloodstream to count the fact she is Veela, so her and her family considers her Pure-blood.


PERSONA: With stormy, blue-grey eyes, anyone who locks eyes with Arwen may be enchanted by such unique and beautiful eyes. However, the more one looks at her eyes, the more one may feel as if she's looking through your soul. Arwen doesn't mean to but her eyes are just as mesmerizing as being "hypnotized" with a certain item. They do say one's eyes is the window to their soul, right? Arwen stands at five feet and two inches, being average height for someone of her age and stature. She is quite fit and rarely wears make-up on her face unless there's a reason for such. Arwen wears clothes that she finds comfortable, usually something that's easy to move in as well as something that looks at least put together as she doesn't want to see as a "bum". Arwen has a nice figure, a little hour-glass body that matches her unblemish skin. Her pale, porcelain skin is smooth as a baby's bottom while her jet black hair is very silky. Arwen actually has a magical tattoo on her back, which is the symbol of the Evenstar. Her magic based tattoo sends signals in her body as a sign of warning or danger and in the darkest of the night, the symbol glows. If anything, her goal is to become the "Light" in the Darkest time, so Arwen tends to spread whatever wisdom she may have in places she can. 


STRENGTHS: Inquisitive would be the first adjective to describe Arwen as she questions everything around her. To the biggest, "in your face" details, to the smallest, little tiny details, Arwen would ask for an explanation on such topics. She's always willing to learn more and more about the World around her as she hates being in a small bubble. She likes to keep her options open and know that she has choices in what she can or can not do. Arwen is a curious little cat, needing answers for absolutely everything. She's patient and doesn't mind getting snappy or rude remarks because of her constant questions, she doesn't really blame them for responding to her in such a hostile way. Arwen is too polite for her own good, always minding her manners in the face of well, any situation, even in danger. If she hurts someone with her spells or even charms, she apologizes for hurting them, yet at the same time would tell them it was necessary for them to stop either harming her or others around her. Arwen's name means fair, fine, or even noble woman, and that's exactly what she is. She's noble because of her courage and generosity towards those around her. Arwen doesn't mind being the scapegoat, as long as those around her are safe. Because Arwen has good manners, she's rarely ever seen angry, perhaps troubled, but rarely ever angry. Nevertheless, Arwen is a bit mysterious, coming off as not only unpredictable, but also never knowing how she would react to something. She tells the truth and rarely ever lies to anyone's face, so she's loyal to a fault. Some may call her as someone with a good heart as she wants to see the best in things and finds herself believing in others and having faith in them. Arwen is a very agreeable person, always avoiding confrontation as well as debates. She knows she can get into a heated debate with someone, especially when she downright does not agree with the person's words or actions. Arwen gets along with others quite nicely as she's able to adapt to her changes. Arwen is very humble, not liking attention or taking credits for anything. She can be seen as being meticulous as she likes to do things a certain way, especially being organized. Although some may see her as someone who doesn't know how to have fun, Arwen does let loose a lot, especially if it comes to having down-time with her peers. But, some would say that she reacts accordingly to what people say like a robot because she was taught "how to feel" and "how to say" things. Arwen thrives off of books, coffee, and tea, rather than people [much like how Winter and Ezra do since Winter wants to prove herself to others while Ezra needs people]. Arwen is quite independent and others may see her as standoffish because of the way she presents herself. At times, Arwen is hard to get close to, even if she's an open book and open to talking to others. Nevertheless, Arwen has a backbone and will stand up for herself and others, when needed, at the same time, she is dependable. She's responsible and able to take her task seriously and preciously, not ever wanting to let anyone down or be the one to cause trouble for her peers. Arwen can be cautious of those she lets in, but nevertheless, amicable towards her peers as she would indulge in a conversation if they take the initiative. Though not known as much, Arwen is actually musically talented, as she loves writing music scores, playing different instruments, and even singing. However, she hides that little known fact and only allows those whom she lets in know of it.


WEAKNESSES: Arwen has a hard time deciding who to trust and who to not trust. She can be easily influenced and gullible because of such traits of believing everything she hears or sees. Arwen is very indecisive in what she want to do and how she wants to think because of her broaden and open perspective of the World around her. Everything about Arwen screams "naive" and "easy" to manipulate because of her personality trait to give others a chance. Although she may seem a bit guarded because of what she hears about a person, she tends to try to see the good in others before the bad, causing her mind to tell her that it's okay. Arwen is afraid of fire and tends to shy away whenever the flames appears in her surroundings. Nevertheless, she would never voice out her fears, in fear of being taken advantage of, at least, she was taught to keep her fears a secret and do her best to never show her fear. However, once Arwen feels as if she can trust someone, even though she should not, she tends to truthfully spill out her thoughts, as she has no filter. Arwen is capable of devoiding herself of emotions and shutting off her "thoughts", but rarely would she ever do it, unless she's in a situation that calls for such expertise and abilities. As mentioned before, some people believe that she was taught to feel emotions and taught how to react to such emotions, which is why some may call her a "robot" or a "doll" in that aspect. Arwen can be socially awkward as she's always seen alone, not really taking in anyone's company, not because she doesn't like company, but she would rather observe from afar than be a part of something. Although Arwen isn't much of a social person [not like how Winter and Ezra are social being], she finds herself getting attached too quickly and that means she's prone to perhaps falling hard for those who won't give her the time of day. However, she would never confess her feelings for someone since she's scared of rejection and abandonment, which is another reason why she tries not to get close to anyone. She's afraid of getting hurt. Arwen is secretive, always keeping other people's secret hush hush as she's someone who will not disregard someone's trust in her, even if it means holding back information that may not be relevant to anyone. Sometimes, if something triggers Arwen, because of something in her passed, she may seem aloof, to the point that she has to count her steps and take a lot of breathers to calm her nerves. Her hands may get clammy and her face may get paler than usual, but usually she would silently keep her panic attacks to herself. Arwen hates relying on people and showing weakness to others. Arwen is weak against coffee and tea because it's one of her few guilty pleasures in life.


FATAL FLAW: Being too honest has it's flaw as she's an open book to everyone around her. Her thoughts are clearly evident in her face and it's always questionable to why the Aurors chose her as their double agent. Arwen can not tell lies even if she could, nevertheless, all her words speaks some truth, even if she may be vague about her answers. Nevertheless, most of the time, when questioned, she panics if she has to "make up" a lie and would ultimately just strictly speak the truth. Because of this, the Head Auror knows of her abilities and her personality that they trust her with such an important mission. Even though the Head trust her, Arwen sometimes does not trust herself to be faithful because she's walking a thin line between two sides that are against each other.


MISCELLANEOUS: 

• Boggart: Betraying someone or rather succumbing to the darkness
  
• Patronus: Rabbit
  
  
  There is a purity to the rabbit, one that is incredibly rare. These people, no matter how many cynical or bitter ideas the world may give them, will always have a curious innocence to them. The world interests them greatly, and they want to explore it without being judged harshly. They are very sensitive and emotional, and are not embarrassed to show this. They can lack confidence at times, because they may have others put them down and make them feel like they are not as strong as everyone else. This is untrue, those with this patronus have beautiful hearts and serene souls deep within them, no matter what else goes on in their life. They need to hold onto this to find their true happiness.

[*]Mirror of Eised: Arwen would see herself being able to travel the world to research and become a successful Healer where blood would not be spilled. However, what she would like is to be reconciled with her family, her blood related parents.
