Meet Ealdred (MC of Broken Arrow)
Ealdred is a half-breed, the hated mix of the people of Lavylli, who live in the heart of the earth, and the people who live under the sun. He has been a slave since birth, tossed from master to master throughout his childhood. In spite of being put down and abused his entire life, he still fights to be worth something, even though he believes deep down that he is worth nothing. He learned to fight through the anger and pain caused by the constant abuse he was shown, and instead looks for the good in others. Even so, he never really trusts anyone.
He doesn’t see himself as brave, but if he sees someone who is wronged or hurt, he can be quite dangerous in defense of them. Sarcasm comes naturally to him, but he keeps it to himself unless he’s especially annoyed. His biggest dream is to one day find the family that he imagines he was taken from as a child and to live happily ever after with them.

Quotes:
“My respect must be earned before it is given.” — Ealdred to Zeldek
“Well, what do you think?”
For a moment, I think that she is talking about herself and I am grasping for something to say when I realize that she’d gestured to everything in general.
“Oh!” I stammer, glancing around. “Right! Yeah. It’s nice. Has a lot of interesting detail. And fire. Who would have thought to use a mountain range as a wall?”
She grimaces in irritation. “I was talking about Fyra.”
I try to speak clearly, but my tongue won’t let me. “Oh- oh, right. Her. She’s great too. Flying is amazing!”
— exchange between Ealdred and Bellator after their flight on her dragon
“She told me to jump off the tower and I did it,” I say blandly. “I’m pretty sure I knew what I was getting myself into.” — Ealdred to Zeldek
