*This is merely a summation of his current mental condition
Arandir came from Tauredal with a sound mind, and is currently keeping such a mind, but there are a few issues here and there. He feels like a guardian or godfather for Wulfe Artorius, and the fact that she has been cured gives him uncharacteristic joy. Other than that, he has been relatively calm otherwise. Arandir keeps most of the things that affect his mental state negatively locked in a small mental drawer, and leaves them be until he goes to take a look at them specifically when he is attempting to fix them or get rid of them. His reserved and lone wolf mentality is slowly devolving back into normal, social behavior on account of Vevila.

RELATIONS:
*Significant persons are highlighted in blue.
- Wulfe Artorius - Arandir met this young elf in Vallee De Mai, and took a liking to her swiftly. He sees a bit of himself in here, and appreciates the inquisitive mind of a young one. He considers himself a godfather of sorts for her, and he will try his best to visit her when he can, making sure she stays on a good path.
- Nylarii Veileth - Arandir met this woman at the Crossroads. He's not terribly approving of who she keeps company with, but he sees a gentle soul that is flimsily hid behind a rough exterior. Therefore, he is willing to work with her, giving her advice and counsel when she seems to need it. He is happy to see that her mentality is slowly changing to a more positive one, and he hopes she remains that way. He will continue to keep an eye on her now that she has a child- perhaps a bit more closely than before.
- Aracena Gideon - Arandir met her in Thiil, and took an interest in her after learning of her.. condition. He knows her mind is sharp, but he finds her to be an emotional person. She has since been marked yet again and he is attempting to rebuild a amicable relationship with her. He has made it a goal to keep her mentally strong this time around.
- Esther Magnolia - Arandir met this woman in Thiil, and didn't form too much of an opinion at first glance. She seems a kind woman, but a bit odd in the flirty movement department.
- Athryl Mithtanil - Arandir met him in Thiil, and has only spoken to him once. In that limited encounter, he gathered that the man is jittery and nervous, over analyzing certain situations. Despite this, Arandir saw that he had a sharp mind, like that of his fiancee.
- Octavia - Arandir met her in the library by the Crossroads, and is certainly interested in her. He will refrain from peppering her with questions as he saw that she seemed introverted and wary of him. He sympathizes with her after he saw the end of an attempted abduction of her by a few Moor Elves.
- Veela - Arandir met her outside the Crossroads, and immediately detected a gentle heart in a perhaps frightened young girl. He learned of her past and wishes to help her get her life back on track.
- Phyrrha (probably spelled it wrong) - Arandir met her in Vallee de Mai and fought her to be excentric, in a sense. She seemed slightly withdrawn from things and questioned Arandir about things he found to be perfectly normal. She was, however, kind, and he appreciated such.
- Tomari Souski - Arandir met her in Vallee de Mai, and didn't speak to her much, and therefore has little to say. He did notice that she is a kind and loving mother, but noticed the absence of a father.
- Vevila - Arandir met this bright girl in the library of the Crossroads. He noted that she was rather eloquent, kind, and pleasant to be around. She is one of the only people he has opened up to freely, and he respects her for being the way she is. She is a love interest at this point- and he has stepped up in attempt to convey this to her. He absolutely enjoys her company, valuing her opinions when given, and he will make it certain that she remains safe. He is making a concerted effort to change his reticent behaviors in favor of showing his true colors to her, and he wants her to be aware of her meaning to him.
- Ylva Artorius - Arandir met her in Vallee de Mai, and sees her as a strong woman. He respects her greatly for being one of the ties keeping her family together. He learned that she is a fighter of sorts from Wulfe. He noted that she is not Elven, despite being the mother of Wulfe.
- Lucius Artorius - Arandir met this man in Vallee de Mai, noting him as the father of Wulfe, but he is not Elven either. He detected a strong willed man who is loyal to his family as well as his village. His opinion of the man tends to fluctuate, as he does not approve of Lucius's parenting methods most of the time. He will not hesitate to bring harsher words to the man if the need arises.
- Harper Garrow - Arandir met him in Vallee de Mai and saw the mind of a child in the body of an adult. That's about it.
