Continuing my trend from the last post, I give you the next character in my Invasion of the Raraks series, Ariel Drake, who is Annelise's twin brother. I know what y'all are probably thinking: that's a girl name!!! Actually, it's both! I worked with a guy named Ariel and I thought it was just so wonderful that I had to incorporate it SOMEHOW!
Ariel's only a little taller than Annelise. While she stands at 5 feet tall, he stands at 5'3". He has a small, quiet personality to match; he's not the type to rush into dire situations. In short, he's a thinker, and seventeen years in the Rarak's slave facility will do that to you. For a long time after he is rescued by Annelise and her Warrior friend Vincent Sullivan (who will have a post shortly), Ariel seems to drift in time, unsure of what to do with himself. He's a legit genius though - he knows spacecraft construction, security, demolitions...all the good stuff. In time, he learns to live with his terrible past, and looks forward to a bright future. He becomes a Warrior like his sister and mother, and strives to fight for the end of the Invasion.
To portray Ariel I chose Chris Pine years and years ago, back when I saw him for the first time in Princess Diaries II. Even though Chris is now a little old to portray the young Ariel, I still imagine Ariel looking much like him.
His eyes are so special, haha. I'm crazy. I went and saw him in Star Trek, both movies, just to go off on a tangent for a second. I love him. I wish he could stay THIS young forever!
Next up I'll introduce you to a couple evil characters. :D Thanks for reading!
