Character Personality: Estelwen never takes anything lightly. If anything, people would say she is much too serious. She does have a kind heart though and has proved herself thusfar to be an excellent and just leader, as well as person in general. She is stubborn in her ideas and though sometimes this may be bad, at least she has her views ahead of her in what she wants to have accomplished. She is mostly quiet, however, and keeps to herself. She seems to have that great Elvish knowledge and tries to use it to her advantage to learn even more about her surroundings. She likes to practice a lot with her sword-fighting skills, especially with other random people. She isn't one to make friends too much, but when she does, she expects a lot out of it. She counts trust as one of the most important virtues in any relationship. When that trust is broken, so is the relationship. Therefore, she doesn't engage in many, so it would be surprising to most if she makes either a really good friend...or falls in love. So Estelwen mainly just grows in herself and the tie she has to Vanilor. They are as close as any true friend could be and trust is hard not to keep in their relationship. He is the only person she can truly count upon.
Character History: Even with a great memory of the Elves, Estelwen doesn't even know who her true parents are. She was born in Silthrim, an Elvish city in Du Weldenvarden, near the lake Ardwen. Her parents, however, were not from that town and had only been passing through. It was told to her that they were working for the Varden and could not keep their daughter safe with them. So they let her stay with a dear old friend of their's, a female Elf named Seremela Tulcakelume. Estelwen was raised by Seremela for several years, until later teenage years by human standard, before the worst happened. Her guardian, who had also become her closest and only friend, was killed by a Shade. Estelwen received news of her death weeks later and mourned quietly for a while. (It is said that Seremela had been traveling to Gil'ead in hopes of meeting Estelwen's parents there for news of them, but that was never for certain.)
Estelwen, therefore, was then left alone. For the first few years, she traveled all over Du Weldenvarden, learning the lands of her people extremely well and new forms of knowledge along the way, either of old texts or of magic. It wasn't long before she had done all she could, and decided to be one of the first Elves to wander Alagaesia in a long time, for Elves liked to keep to themselves in their own land. She traveled on horseback and foot first to all the biggest, greatest cities like Teirm, Dras-Leona, Uru'baen, and lastly, Gil'ead. There, she found and wept one last time over the poor gravesite of the lost Seremela. And then, she decided to live her life in tribute to both her, and her lost parents, for now she believed them to be dead as well. She would find the Varden one day and help in whatever way she could. Through those years, she had seen the harm that Galbatorix was causing and the pain and suffering he was causing the people in his Empire to endure.
She spent many years wandering more in southern Alagaesia, searching for wherever the Varden may be hidden, for she believed they would live close to their ally, Surda. Those years were spent in vain, however. And eventually, she decided to head back to Du Weldenvarden to see what way she could assist in the future wars against the Empire through the Elves.
And here is where it comes up to most recently a year ago. As she was traveling through the woods, she found a Dragon's egg. Knowing well the stories of old, and even the most recent of Eragon who had come to Du Weldenvarden during her absence, Estelwen wondered if the egg would also help to change the lands. She reached out to touch the egg and was surprised to feel it almost shake under her touch. She picked it up carefully and wrapped it securely, holding it in her lap back to her home. Unable and unwilling to go back to Silthrim, Estelwen decided to stay in Ellesmera. She made it there, where she let her Elvish horse go. She spend much of her time alone, for she had grown well accustomed to such by now. And only a few days later, the egg hatched with her in the forest. It was a few weeks before it could communicate and they agreed on the name Vanilor after one of the Dragons of old.
Estelwen and Valinor grew close, as any Rider and Dragon would. They began to teach themselves all sorts of magic they knew instinctively through the Elvish customs, for they were the first to come together in alliance with the Dragons. Along with ancient manuscripts she found by original Riders, they were able to further themselves in training for the last year. Some other Elves have helped as well. And now recently, Vanilor has been able to breathe fire. Since they feel they could someway help the Varden now, they have decided to seek them out on their own to help bring about the downfall of the evil Galbatorix.

---------------------
Dragon Name: Vanilor
Age: 7 months
Gender: Male
Parents: unknown
History: Vanilor was in an egg found by Estelwen in the woods of Du Weldenvarden. Not much has happened in the year since he was born. He grew well and is getting bigger all the time, though just seemed to have finished a growth spurt. He and Estelwen have been learning a lot about their connection and history, along with being trained by old manuscripts on Dragon Riders. Mostly they have figured out on their own how to do all sorts of things necessary between a Dragon and its Rider. Vanilor can now breathe fire and enjoys practicing it.
Personality: Vanilor is very much like Estelwen. He is quiet and keeps to himself, except with her, whom he is able to share everything. He has the same thoughts about trust as she does and does not take well to treachery. A bit different from Estelwen, however, is his slightly increased pride and smugness as a Dragon. He seems to have great wisdom, as all Dragons do, especially of his history.
Colour: Green
Appearance: He is a dark, deep green color, though the scales still sparkle in the sunlight. His wings are also slightly tinted green, though the webbings in them are so dark green, they are practically black. He stands tall and majestic, almost proud.
Dreams for future: The same as Estelwen, he wishes to help fight against the Empire to help the Varden in any way he is able. Therefore, he wants their bond to be even stronger so they can even better fight together.
Reasons for dreams: He also wants to be able to restore peace and unity within the Empire, to stop the evil reign of Galbatorix.
