Dude, this woman is just gross. I think a section should be added discussing Mary-Sueism. -- canitwooz

I agree. Someone did put up a section discussing her filthy Mary Sue-ness. - pikachu2raichu, August 6th 2006

• Arya is my least favorite character. Especially after what she said to the dwarf priest, but I didn't like her before that either. - shazzer August 11 2006

• Arya is one of the most derivative, one-dimensional, uninteresting, unlikeable and most astonishingly Mary-Sueish characters I have ever encountered in literature, fantasy or otherwise. Even Jaenelle from Anne Bishop's The Black Jewels Trilogy isn't as bad as Arya, and Jaenelle is a huge Mary Sue. - katie (August 14 2006)

• I think the 'Speculation' title should be changed to 'Green Rider'..the Wikipedia doesn't allow speculation and 'Green Rider' goes better with the paragraph. And on a side note, Arya is the most appalling character ever written into existence. - Zepelli August 21 2006

I just changed the title to 'Green Rider' :) - Zepelli August 21 2006

I'm sorry to tell you, but Arya is actually my favourite character in the trilogy. I dont care if she's the biggest Mary Sue character ever, she's the coolest. And I also think that an Eragon/Arya relationship would be nice, but (in all true honesty) perverted, she's like 70, right? I think an relationship with Eragon and that leader of Du Vrgra something-or-other would be much better. Therequiembellishere 05:53, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

"Finally it comes down to the old cliché of there being two men and one woman in a group of three (or vice versa) as means to balance the sexes." What does the "or vice versa" mean? Two females and one male? Not likely, cause most stories lean slightly towards being biased in favour of males, (while providing enough token female characters for it to seem balanced, but still less than males). And if you are talking about "some stories of 3 have two males, others have two females", I don't see how that should be a cliché, since there are barely any other possibilities of combining sexes in groups of three -- except if all are male or all female. --Mithcoriel 17:06, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

I personally don't see any reason to be so prejudiced against Arya. Being 'Mary-Sue-ish' is really unavoidable when writing any story with elves of the kind Eragon deals with. She might be a little arrogant, but might more be a kind of shield so others won't see the pain that she's dealing with or something. Lifaen did say that she sacrificed a lot for the Elves. ~Sushi 07:16, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spoiler Warning

As with Brom's article, the spoiler warning comes after the introductory paragraph, but the paragraph itself has a spoiler.

In Christopher Paolini's Inheritance trilogy, Arya Dröttningu, Princess of Ellesméra is a beautiful, hundred-year-old elf princess with raven black hair, and is considered young as elves are immortal. Arya is a skilled swordswoman and powerful magic user, and is first in line to the Elvish throne. The color of her magic is green.
