APPLICATION
[series]: Chronicles of Narnia (with more of a base and focus on the movies - Prince Caspian in particular - rather than the books)
[character]: Edmund Pevensie
[character history / background]: [wiki!] & [narnia wiki!]
[character abilities]: Swordsmanship, archery (although his skill pales in comparison to his sister’s, Susan’s, Edmund’ll give you a run if you test him), an experienced strategist after years of reign as a King, riding, leadership; would rather follow - not quite a leader but is willing in Peter’s place, and a degree of stealth when it comes to sneaking about in general
[character personality]: (ties in with some character history/background)
Initially spoiled and rude, disrespectful and childish, Edmund’s characteristics are ones only able to be identified with his vagabond youth; attributes that were birthed out of blatant reaction to the loss of his father and the detachment Edmund felt amongst his siblings. A detachment that had grown and overflowed as his siblings found Edmund’s antics increasingly impossible to deal with it the more time passed.
Now reformed, having sold out his family, an unfortunate and condemning mistake on his part, for some Turkish Delight, Edmund has matured; having learned a lifelong lesson. After years of living through the Age of Gold, a companion to the throne with his High King and Queens, Edmund has lived and learned, has aged wise and thoughtful.
Edmund considers his actions now before he does them. Is second to Peter when it comes to strategizing, is loyal beyond belief and a just and honest man: King Edmund the Just, of the great western wood, Duke of Lantern Waste and Count of the Western March, and Knight of the Noble Order of the Table.
Edmund is also the one who keeps the most calm in the movie Prince Caspian and destroys the invocation of the White Witch, Edmund exercises deadly certainty and care; stands loyal to his family and country, Narnia. Knows better to be pushed into temptation, having learned from before.
He is someone whom the Pevensies are proud to call brother. Someone who would do anything in the world and beyond for them.
[point in timeline you're picking your character from]: Shortly after the ending of Prince Caspian (the movie) as Edmund walks through the gate. He doesn’t end up returning to earth.
