Arden has lived a remarkably charmed lifestyle. She is the younger child of Eden and Phoenix Toros, both of whom have a very hands-off, hippy approach to raising their children. Arden is allowed to do many things her peers probably wouldn’t be able to do for the sake of “learning your OWN boundaries.” Next door to them lives Eden and Phe’s joint partner, Milos, who has a child of his own. Arden feels very protective of her little Clia and is a little saddened she must be separated from her, but she is glad to be going off to Hogwarts FINALLY.

She is bouncy, wild, free-willed/spirited, unfocused, happy, easy to amuse, and overall a mess. Arden is brave and rash and hardly thinks about consequences. She and her mother clash a lot because of this, and Eden also finds Arden exhausting to have around most days. They do have a close relationship because they both enjoy animals so much, though.

Due to her parents lifestyle decisions, Arden has very much found herself quite early on. She is confident and knows what she wants and WHEN she wants it. She was born in the summer three weeks early, and Eden and Phoenix joke she couldn’t sit still anymore, which is very true since as a baby and eventually a toddler she was EVERYWHERE. As a baby, she wouldn’t keep socks or shoes on EVER, and both her and her brother have Phoenix’s wild hair. It is very curly, and Eden has done her best to learn and teach Arden how to style it. Arden is lazy, and so she usually just throws it in a bun or puts a hairband in.

Growing up, Arden and Starr were very happy. They were not spoiled, but they had all the love and care children can have. Phoenix traveled as a wrockstar when they were younger, but these days he stays home and keeps to himself as he continues to work with his brother in the wizarding music industry. Arden has grown up around MANY famous wrockstars, though, and is not easily starstruck because of this. Her mother, Eden, is a herpetologist who used to work for sanctuaries abroad, but now she has her own axolotl farm on their property. Her mother’s first snake, Daisy, is still alive and kicking, and the corn snake is a staple in the household. Arden’s love of scary looking creatures stems from this childhood.

While both children love people, both were homeschooled by Eden. They live in Greece in a small polyamrous compound where Eden and Phoenix feel comfortable living out their lives. They always knew their children would go to Hogwarts, though. Arden visits her Gran, Irene, in Ireland where she and her granddad live a lot. Irene, a muggle, is a baker and owns a thriving bakery in Wexford. Iden travels for fun since the family are prominent purebloods. Iden was originally kicked out the family for marrying a muggle, but since the death of his father and his wickedly purist brother, he has been welcomed back into the fold. Eden and Phe still feel a bit separate from her dad’s side of the family, though, and Phe’s mother was also a muggle. This makes Arden a good bit mixed with non-magical blood, and thus she has not a care in the world about anything blood related.

Bring on the drama of sixth year...
