Personality: Raised to hold honor, and justice above all else, Arryn Thorne has always been a old fashioned young woman. Soft spoken, gentle, and empathetic, she cares deeply for others and the fate of the North. Behind her passive attitude, and gentle words is an intelligent mind. Wise for her age, further education thanks to Lord Rikard has allowed her knowledge to grow exponentially -- often leading her to help Lord Joakim in his studies when they were younger. It's hard to say if Arryn is capable of harboring any hate, or dislike for someone, however she knows better then to trust just anyone.
As a child, Arryn was much more passive and naive. She held no bad bone in her body, and could not tell a lie. It wasn't until she grew older that became aware of how deceitful, and selfish men and women could be. As the saying goes,
If you can't beat em', join em'. However, rather then using this knowledge to her advantage, Arryn enjoys foiling others plans, and catching people in the middle of their own lies.
History: As far as Arryn can remember, she has always lived in the Whitelands. The North has always been her home, and there was never a time she could remember not serving under the Weades. She had been told she was an orphan. Her mother a whore who died during the Winter leaving a small baby on the steps of the Dukes castle. Granted shelter, and eventually a permanent home in the Noble house, Arryn was raised as a Lady before becoming Lord Rikards personal Cupbearer once she turned eleven.
She was granted a fair and comfortable life despite her
lowborn origins. Dressed like a noble, given an education, and even taught how to ride a horse Arryns relationship with the Noble family has always been questioned. Despite her close relationship with Lord Rikard, and his son Lord Gregar, Lady Catryn has always shown a sense of disdain towards Arryn -- especially once she started to grow close to Joakim.
Upon Lord Rikards death, Arryn was appointed personal handmaiden to Lady Catryn despite her less then cordial relationship with the Noble woman. Since her husbands death Arryn has watched the woman's mental health take a dive first hand. Worrying for the North, and the future of House Weade, Arryn is willing to do anything for the sake of the North.
Skills: Like many women Arryn is skilled in many household chores, and requirements: Cooking, cleaning, sewing, and even removing armor. However her true skill lies with her mentally. Hidden beneath her gentle persona, manipulation and analyzation is Arryns game. Unafraid to tell a lie, or misleading others for the greater good, she knows how to use her trusting nature to her advantage. Not necessarily trained in combat, Arryn however
can shoot a bow, and ride a horse like any other man in the Whitelands.
Dreams and fears: Aware of her lack of strength, and combat knowledge, Arryn has always dreamed of becoming
stronger. The life of a Knight, or a Kings Guard has always been a fantasy, but with her age and position in the castle, it's always been a dream she's pushed aside. With the North as her home, Arryn fears being abandoned by the Weades. The idea of losing her home, or even being banished from the North has always been a real fear despite her relationship with the Noble family.
Favored equipment: Not favoring large weapons, or weapons in general, Arryn does keep a small blade hidden beneath her dress along her right calf. A gift from Gregar when they were younger, she has always kept it close.
Extra: After living within the Castle walls for so long, Arryn knows each and every hallway by heart. There are no secret passages she is unaware of, and if given a set time, could easily escape the castle walls in less then five minutes.
