oops another oc :: arianwen of rivendell ↳ glitter & gold

Once there had existed an alliance between elves and men.

Not just when it came to war, but with unions as well. The story of Beren and Luthien was well known to all, having produced a line of half-elves that took home in the Valley of Imladris. The line of Elrond and his sister Elowen were a product of that union, and so were all who came after. 

But while Elrond had chosen to live the life of most of his kin, his sister had chosen the opposite. For Elowen had fallen in love with a mortal man and chosen a mortal life, leaving her daughter in the care of Elrond himself, promising she would return one day. 

But she never did. And Elrond was tasked to look after the last reminder of his sister he had left. 

Arianwen was headstrong and powerful, more powerful than any of them knew, and she had spent her entire life behind the mountains and walls of Rivendell, kept safe and hidden from the world around her. 

But then a pack of orcs moves closer to their borders, and Arianwen is suddenly playing host to company of thirteen dwarves, a hobbit from the Shire, and her father’s old friend Gandalf the Grey.  But it is their quest that keeps her intrigued, and it is their quest she sacrifices everything for to join.

She’s heard the whispers between the ring bearers, the worry in Gandalf’s voice when he approaches her uncle for help, and she sees the determination in the Dwarf King’s eyes. 

Something is coming, and Arianwen refuses to stay hidden any longer.

ALLISON POTTER WAS NOT HER MOTHER.

No matter how many times Aunt Petunia treated her like it, Allison was her own person and demanded to be seen as one. She and Harry were proud of their parents, and loved hearing how much they resembled them. Even if Harry had the bright emerald gaze of Lily Evans and Allison held the muted hazel eyes of James Potter.

That all changes when she arrives at Hogwarts.

The Dursleys are glad to be rid of her, and when the sorting hat calls out Gryffindor, it seals her fate as Lily Evans reborn, particularly in the eyes of a certain Potions Teacher. As she navigates the halls with a wide eyed innocence and shining laughter of those that came before her, things take a turn for the worst when she returns for her second year, and comes into possession of a certain diary.

Harry may have enjoyed the comforts Hogwarts has to offer, alongside his close friends, but to Allison it is nothing but a lavishly decorated cage, locking her inside and keeping her held within it's clutches. She has no desire to go back anytime soon, but a serial murderer is on the loose, and Allison's actions in her second year place her entire character under question, and she has no other choice.
