〛STRENGTHS〚
SOCIAL || People are interesting, and Avalyn enjoys spending time with others, for the most part. It is always refreshing to meet new faces.
LOGICAL || Avalyn rarely acts or speaks without first considering possible outcomes of the situation. Though, it can be fun to sometimes act a little reckless.

〛FEARS〚
DEATH || Her thoughts on death have never been positive, and they don't seem to be changing.
INADEQUACY || Avalyn wishes to be useful, someone hard to replace and someone wanted. The idea of being tossed aside for not being enough terrifies her.
RESTLESNESS || A leftover from the Landing's troubles, Avalyn fears that her life may fall back into a state of lasting unease and apprehension. She has buried this fear deep.
〛WEAKNESSES〚
GREEDY || Even if not blinded by it, Avalyn's actions are often driven by a want for both knowledge and material items.
FAMILY || While able to form her own opinions on things, Avalyn still follows the word of her family with few questions asked.
ATTITUDE || Avalyn has a head full of opinions, and a sharp tongue that sets them free whenever the time seems right. It comes naturally, for the most part.
DEPENDENT || After growing up in positions under the guidance and orders of others, she often feels lost when left on her own or fully put in charge. She has learned to manage.
〛INTELLIGENCE〚
Avalyn is intelligent, though she has had no special education, other than what libraries and her family have had to offer.
She is logical and values information, and has spent plenty of time in her early life studying.
〛LANGUAGES〚

“We convince ourselves of so many things. We convince ourselves that it’s not our fault, that we need to, that it’s a means to an end, that we’re unwitting soldiers in someone else’s war.” - Corven Rhodes
Avalyn is proud, rational, calculated and confident. She has no illusions when it comes to her capabilities, nor does she feel insecure about them.
In public, she often portrays herself in a way that seems most proper for the situation. Playful, amicable, reserved, and so on.
While many of these 'roles' come easy to her, in time one may come to notice that they are mere acts put on to come off more appealing to people.
Though, with the right people and at the right place, Avalyn's more natural, lively, playful and arrogant personality is often left unmasked.
