Aya Matrim

[Aya Matrim]

Aya Matrim

Full Name:

Aya Matrim

Date of Birth:

July 22nd, 2025

Current Age:

11

Basic Appearance:

Aya has long straight blonde hair that tends to curl in the mornings but flatten out over the day. Her eyes are a deep brown with gold flakes in them. On her upper left arm she has a crescent-shaped scar from falling out of tree. She is all skin and bones, and she doesn't particularly like it. Aya's complexion is pale, but not so pale she can never tan, though she is more easily burnt than some. There are a dash of freckles she'll eventually grow out of, and she's grateful for that. She is 4'3" and weighs 85 pounds.

Personality:

Aya has been more of a shut-in in recent years, cutting herself off from all of her friends after her father's death. However, it has not diminished her creativity, and it's only amplified the mischief she causes. With an inclination for dream magic, Aya often takes inspiration from her dreams, and is constantly writing in her notebook, trying to make the story perfect and never quite getting there. While she'd always enjoyed a bit of fun, she became more reckless, sneaking out and causing mayhem on her bad nights, when it seemed like the grief would overcome everything else, trying to bring back the same emotions she'd had before the wreck. She's mellowed out with that in recent months, but if the opportunity presents itself she won't ignore it.

But underneath all that is the bright and outgoing girl that existed for an infinitely longer period of time. While extremely difficult to get to, as she's afraid of losing anyone else, it is worth it to see the full bloom smile that was once freely given, and to have her loyalty and the knowledge she'll always stand by your side.</COLOR>

A page from your diary:

Notebook,

I dreamt of the ravens again, and the raven woman. This time though, she wanted to help Cathryn. I mean, I kind of guessed that would happen from the beginning. No one is that scary and cruel and doesn't do something to prove their words. The Library also expanded, with the books flying everywhere as we waited for the crucial files. This dream helps at least tie the story together a little better than it was before, so hopefully one more dream and I'll be able to finish it off. I would have gotten it completely finished but my family showed up in the middle and I had to wake up before the whole thing was completely ruined.

Today has been rougher, and I'm thinking it's time for another midnight trip. Mom's freaking out at Elias over his grades and I don't want to hear her crying later on tonight. I wish I could go talk to Eli about it, but I'm not sure I'd be any good either. I'm not really good with the comforting thing anymore, or anything really. Gemma tried to talk to me again today and I ignored her. Better for both of us I guess, but I miss talking to her. Maybe I'll try talking to her again before I leave. Maybe. ​
