Arden Vale
“I’ve been called too much. That’s how I know I’m exactly enough.”
The Flameheart • Fighter Girl With Soft Edges • The Spark That Starts the Plot
Scene of Entry
She’s arguing with the principal. Again.
Hands clenched, eyes defiant, voice too loud for a girl “like her.”
Then someone says her name like a warning — Arden.
But she turns anyway. And in that turn, in that fire,
the boy watching from the back of the office decides he’s already in too deep.

Visual Style & Symbol
Combat boots with paint stains. Denim jacket layered over band tees.
Hair half-tamed, always a little windblown.
Her symbol: a phoenix feather tucked behind her ear — real or not, no one’s brave enough to ask.
She smells like adrenaline and vanilla lip balm.
“Arden doesn’t wait to be chosen. She kicks the door open, then asks if anyone’s got a match.”
