Hey! I was so excited when I got this ask! I did a little happy dance. I am going to be splitting this up into two parts, because I am still doing an in depth read of the Cycle, and I am in the middle of Brisingr. Eragon’s spell weavers are not really studied in depth where I am at, and I have read Inheritance the least out of all the books. The Characters I can do are the ones who stuck in the memory or that I have already read about. 

Kailandi: 

How I feel about the character: I am intrigued. If I remember correctly, Kailandi is the elf that cast the spell on Oromis that separated him from his magic. That leads me to wonder, why did he want to know that. It is my personal opinion that Elven Society has a very unhealthy view on magic and physical abilities, leading to many societal problems. I wonder if Kailandi was or knew someone who had physical or magical problems, leading him to study the way it was done. It would explain his defection as well as his choice in combat.

All the people I ship romantically: I headcanon him as aromantic, but hugely invested in platonic relationships. 

Non Romantic OTP for his character: I imagine him surrounded by a bunch of little mini-rider apprentices. I imagine he was the one who would heal injuries and help with accidents that the babies did not want the masters to know about. I also headcanon he was an empathetic listener and someone who would help human riders figure ways around elven strength and skill. 

Unpopular Opinion about the Character: IDK what the current fandom thinks about him, but as far as in-universe opinion, I believe Kailandi was unrelentingly, apologetically about life being completely fair, to the point he would be willing to make it so. I think he was committed to an ideal that didn’t really exist, not that he was power hungry. 

I wish would/had happened: Honestly, that we were given an idea of who and how he was trained. I assume he was not an elder Rider, seeing as Oromis was considered more powerful. So he would have been a rider during the rise of humans and outside of Elven authority. 

Formora:

How I feel about this character: This is the character that I relate to the most, as far as making dumbass and panicky decisions. From the little we know she is a bit more straightforward than her brother and a little less likely to take a roundabout approach. 

People I ship romantically: I headcanon she was involved with a female human rider. 

My non romantic OTP: I think she was probably very martially skilled and headcanon she trained with and around the dwarves. I think she had good friends in several different militaries. Weird headcanon: I think since she had Kailandi remove some of her memories of other militaries and locations for the sake of giving her friends a fighting chance. 

My unpopular opinion about this character: Same as Kailandi IDK what popular opinion is, let alone unpopular. I do think that she was one of the people who went mad with their dragon, but I think she sought Brom out in the end for him to kill her. 

One thing I wish would/had happened: Similiar to Kailandi, I wonder how she was trained, but I also wonder if she was trained with Kailandi or separately and how that impacted their relationship. 

Fäolin

How I feel about this character: He was too young to die. 

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Arya, a long life, and adventure.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Idk about OTP, but I think Ajihad got a headache whenever he saw him coming.  Fäolin could talk anyone into anything and a lot of young warriors would suddenly find themselves with interesting jobs after  Fäolin “discovered” them. 

My unpopular opinion about this character: IDK on popularity, but  Fäolin  was a pain in the ass to everyone but Arya and sometimes Glenwing. He was full of ideas about how people could do things better. Half of Arya’s problems with diplomacy come from  Fäolin. 

What I wish would/had happened: I wish we got to see the impact his death had on Du Weldenvarden. Did he have friends, family? Did Arya have to bring news of his fate? 

Glenwing:

How I feel about this character: He needs a fucking nap, y’all. He is too old for all this nonsense. 

All the people I ship romantically with this character: a nap. 

Non romantic OTP: I can not state this enough: a nap. He was the permanent third wheel to two very young and obnoxious elves. He has been on duty since Arya chased the last four elves off. He has no one to commiserate with, just the birds, the horses and occasionally Ajihad. He is the person who is smoothing over diplomatic problems and he needs a nap. 

Unpopular opinion: He was not a patient elf. He didn’t volunteer, he was chosen because he was stubborn and diplomatic. He was, in essence, a baby sitter for Arya since she was the equivalent of thirty. He wants to retire. 

https://inheritance.fandom.com/wiki/Formora

... Is any of this confirmed canon? I don’t remember reading anything about Formora and Kialandi being twins, or Formora’s dragon being female. In true Inheriwiki fashion, nothing is sourced, so I’m assuming someone wanted to write a Forsworn-centric fanfiction but didn’t?
