Personality: Edmund hides behind a somewhat tough exterior. He seems to be arrogant, intelligent, and ignorant to how he should be. However, this is quite typically an act. Edmund acts selfish, and spiteful, and he does think typically about himself, being a little self-absorbed, he is a troubled individual, seeming to fight against two different aspects of his personality. His decisions after often decided after serious contemplation.
However, Edmund can be a rash individual, compulsive particularly when tempted towards what could be a bad decision. In this, Edmund is a risk taker. When this happens, it's a good bet that Edmund is going to get into trouble.
His bad boy act is merely there to protect his self doubt, and total lack of confidence in himself. He has a great need for attention and glory, and it is this need that forced him to be a little cruel to his younger Sister, Lucy. Edmund also likes to seem smart, making high-and-mighty, “educational” remarks that often, while insightful, are wrong. He does have an intuitive nature and a sense of caution around people he does not know, however often he does doubt his own instinct, thus leading him into bad decisions.
Edmund is however a natural born leader. He has a gift for being charismatic, and confidence, when around others. When placed in a position of authority, Edmund draws a crowd to him and gathers them around a common goal. When this occurs, Edmund is often characterized by a ruthless level of rationality, using his drive, determination and sharp mind to achieve whatever end he wants. It seems that when people around him, and they believe in him, he can overcome his own self doubts, and be the leader he should be.
Emotional expressions is not his strong suit, and he doesn’t seem to be able to communicate empathetically, finding it not a weakness to display emotion but rather finding it hard to let anyone see just how troubled he is.
All in all, Edmund is just a lost lamb with the makings of a Great Leader, yet no one seems to have cared enough to nudge him in the right direction and as such, Edmund is lost, confused, and lashes out. Part of this is the fact that he believes himself responsible for his siblings deaths, or loss, never truly knowing if they were dead. He feels like has betrayed everything they fought for, and that it he is not worthy of even being recognized. So he strives to do the best he can, and not be a failure.
Strengths: Edmund is quite efficient, and sees inefficiency not just as a problem in its own right, but as something that pulls time and energy away from his future goals. He typically roots out such behavior wherever he goes. He is rather energetic, he generally enjoys having a challenge, as it gives him something to focus on. While at times, Edmund feels self conscious, he is also strong willed. He doesn’t give up when things get tough, and strives to reach his goals, or fix up the mistakes he does when he realizes they are mistakes. He can be a strategic thinker, breaking through the difference between moment to moment crisis management and navigating the challenges and steps in a much larger plan, often when he is not being rash, he can examine the angle of every single problem, to not just resolving momentary issues, but moving forward with his own solutions.
Weaknesses: Edmund is stubborn and dominant, with confidence when he deems it due, and strong willpower, he can go too far, trying to win everything he can, he has, at times and “it's my way or the highway” approach, and is typically unsupportive of any idea that does not go along with his plans and goals. At times, Edmund can also be impatient. While he understands some people need more time to think than others, it can be an intolerable delay to him if it takes too long to make a decision. He is quite terrified of people becoming disinterested in him, and believes that if it takes too long to make a decision, its because they don’t care about him. His power handling of emotions at times leaves him cold and distant to others.
Magic Capabilities: None that he is aware off.
Weapons: Edmund has his sword, taken from Narnia in the banishment, but he never uses it. Instead, he has a blade of good steal craftsmanship.
Brief Biography (Life In Rivenspire - FT World):Being the younger brother, Edmund often felt that he was in his older brothers shadow, despite Peter often including him in things, Edmund felt like he always had something to prove. As they were shipped off to boarding school, Edmund did alright in his studies, but once more felt like he was always shadowed by Peter.
Once the war hit London, the Pevensie children were shipped to the countryside. His parents sending them far away from the war to keep them safe and away from harm. With the Queen’s rage and fury much of London was reduced to rubble. They had been able to hear it on the streets. People talking about how most of the kings and queens of the land had sent away their kids. It seemed like most parents had done what theirs had.
Arriving at the estate, Edmund was sullened and withdrawn, disturbed by the events, and at being shipped off where he couldn’t do anything. He ignored Peter’s efforts to distract them, instead, choosing his own way. When Lucy came back from hide and seek, telling her tale, Edmund immediately teased her, finding the tale ludicrous at best. Yet when she showed them, Edmund felt bad, but was angered at Peter for treating him like a child having done something wrong. The hope of Narnia brought an idea that maybe, just maybe, he might finally be able to do something that even Peter couldn’t do.
This idea was not helped by the fact that he, and his siblings, were told that they were the true rulers of Narnia and not the Queen, yet all Edmund saw in that was another chance to be shadowed by his brother. The offer the Queen gave him was fueled by his own desire to not simply be Peter’s little brother, but he immediately regretted the decision, and tried all he could to make up for the mistake, resolving this, the petty slights Edmund had taken from Peter, the shadowed feeling he had towards his older brother seemed insignificant and the stuff of children, and not the true Rulers of Narnia. He turned towards Narnia’s woes, and began to do all he could, finding out that there was finally something he could do better than Peter, and that was fight. Young, Peter was at first the better fighter, stronger and faster, but as Edmund grew he became more skilled, but didn’t take any joy out of finally being better than Peter. They each had their strengths, after all.
Assisting in the war, Edmund did all he could to not only defend Narnia, but to support his siblings, and yet he couldn’t do anything when Susan was skewered by the arrow, not anything when Aslan snatched them away, although he wanted to enact vengeance on the Evil Queen, he couldn’t do anything to fight the lion.
Edmund found himself alone in the unfamiliar landscape of London, and the war swept him along, the crowd desperate to get to safety, he tried to find his siblings, and continued to search for days, He didn’t return to school, instead Edmund fell out of sight, out of life itself for a time, assuming that his siblings were dead, and blaming himself that he hadn’t done anything. If he had only been closer to Peter, maybe he could have helped, done something. And Lucy...his younger sister, he regretted truly how he had behaved to her when they were kids, and had never truly tried to make up for it. And Susan, her death, the only one he had seen, rocked him to his very core.
As the grief abated somewhat, Edmund realized he was tarnishing their memory by effectively mopping about, by doing nothing. And So Edmund took up arms once more, and began to protect the innocent, the weak, seeking vengeance for them and the suffering the war brought them.
