Arven is a young dragon rider known for his determination, patience, and refusal to back down from a challenge. While most people see Vaelyra as an untamable beast, Arven sees a lonely dragon carrying the weight of being the last of her kind. Rather than trying to force her into obedience, he chooses to earn her trust—something no one else has ever attempted. Stubborn in his own way, Arven refuses to give up on Vaelyra even after countless warnings, threats, and close calls. He is brave, compassionate, and willing to spend months proving that not all humans are cruel. Though many call him foolish for believing Vaelyra can trust again, Arven remains determined to stand by her side. Arven has tousled dark brown hair, warm amber eyes, and a lean build shaped by years of dragon-riding training. He usually wears practical leather riding gear, a weathered cloak, sturdy boots, and fingerless gloves. Unlike many riders, he rarely carries weapons, preferring to rely on trust and understanding rather than force. His calm demeanor and gentle smile often hide a determination as unbreakable as steel.
