Name: Arya Marie Jones

Nickname(s):

-Ari (better be close or she'll punch you)

Age: 18-27 will vary

Faceclaim: Faouzia

Personality: Arya is a person who doesn't like others. She's the one who will sit in the back, and observe, watch. She doesn't talk much to new people, and doesn't really do "small talk." She, should she warm up, wants to talk about your passions. Your goals in life. Your ambitions. Your fears, your regrets. She's there to stay should she warm up to you. But more on that later.

Often times, upon meeting Arya, you will notice how cold her gaze is. How harsh and intense it is. She often times has a resting bitch face, making her really hard to get to know. She tends to be sarcastic, a pain in the ass, a know it all. She tends to push buttons when she doesn't even realize it. Or mean to, actually. She just prefers having her own space.

In a crowded space, expect Arya to slip away, simply because she doesn't want to deal with people. She'll probably slip outside, lay on the grass, and just stare off into space. Lost in her own world. While she is a daydreamer, she's also a realist, unafraid to say what to needs to be said. This makes her a lot of enemies. And quite frankly, she doesn't really care.

Deep down, Arya is lonely. Very lonely. Despite having a step-brother, she doesn't seem to quite fit in. Anywhere, really. She has a heart of gold, and is extremely loving and calming for those she warms up to. It may take some time, but if you stick with her long enough, you'll see she's worth the wait. She's just someone in need of a friend.

While she can accept harsh words, criticism, being cursed out, she can't handle having her personal life attacked. Nor can she handle being attacked as a person. She loses it. She'll get violent, probably glare at you as a warning to not push it. The more you push her temper, the more she gets angry. She doesn't do well when her character and all she is, is attacked

Arya is warm to very few, but when she does get close to you, she's super gentle and loving to you. She's a ball of sunshine and is always down to do literally anything with you. Her loyalty is insane and she will be with you, no matter where who you are. She gives her all to those who have gotten close to her.

Deep down it's just a big sweetie hiding behind a facade.

Brief backstory: Arya was born to Jeanette and David Jones on August 31st, on a particularly hot day. Arya grew up to become an intelligent young lady, sharing her mother's sharp mind while having her father's smile. When she was young, she always found herself isolated by her classmates, or being called nerd. In highschool, she studied she took a special class with law. Her mother's wish for her was to be a lawyer like she was, while her father just wanted her to do what made her happy. David Jones was the best man in the world in Arya's eyes. When she took a state test in law, she purposefully failed it. She had zero interest in law, and wasn't quite sure what she was going to do in her life. This infuriated her mother, causing her to slap Arya across the face. Her father tried to calm Jeanette, only to be shoved away. Arya went to bed in tears that night, forgetting her birthday was the next day. On her sixteenth birthday, tragedy struck. Her father had become the sacrificial lamb in Jeanette's wrath. That day, Arya had gone to school as usual, not talking to her mother but talked to her father. Perhaps this is what infuriated Jeanette, the fact her daughter didn't try to mend the relationship. Her wrath had consumed her at the time. When Arya came home from school, her father stood waiting. Telling her happy birthday, he handed her a small chain. It was silver with a crescent shaped moon on it. After dinner and arguing over why Jeanette didn't gift her daughter anything, her father became so furious, that he went off on a drive. As he was driving, his car hit another. Although rushed to the hospital, when Arya got there, it was too late. The following two weeks were hell. It felt like she was alone, and her mother seemed emotionless. On September 13th, her father's funeral was held. Arya was devastated, but her mother stood without blinking an eye. Less than three months later, Arya learned of a new man: Jonas Davison, and his son, Shawn Davison. Both men rubbed Arya the wrong way. She tried her best to be there, but she wasn't able to connect. Something felt off. Very odd. Six months later, her mother remarried and her fame shot up. Why? Because word got around on how successful a prosecutor she was. Jonas, Jeanette and Shawn were gone all the time, leaving the then 17 year old Arya to fend for herself. They only visit maybe once every two years. After enduring this for so long, Arya became more and more withdrawn.
