Aravis
Aravis means "great fire". Aravis grew up with fire. With the great heat of Calormen, it was no wonder. She often attended the sacrifices for Tash, watching as the ash and smoke would rise to the sky, and the sparks would fly to the ground. When she first came to Archenland, she was surprised to find that fire was used to keep warm on snowy days. Aravis, you could say, had a fiery personality. She was a fighter, and a stubborn girl. She always had to have the last word, and win the argument. This was part of the reason she fought so often with Cor. Yet, fire was also a symbol of her passion. She became a firm believer Aslan, and should someone say something bad about anyone in the royal family, especially Cor, they would soon wish they hadn't. She loved Cor fiercely, and was very protective of her son Ram. She defended those who needed defending, and helped those who had nothing. She was strong in times of peril, and brave in times of despair. Yet, the best example of fire was in her eyes. When she laughed, if you looked into her dark irises you would see a light brighter than any fire in the world.
