Hi! I'm Silvan Arrow, and I'm glad you decided to visit my profile! I keep updating this thing so many times it's not even funny! Here's some info about me:

Homepage:

Make sure to check it out! I'll keep updating it along with my stories so you can keep track of upcoming chapters and ideas for future fics.

My Personality:

Okay, basically, I'm a pretty cheerful, fun-loving girl who's currently in college. I love hanging out with my friends, but I also have a bit of a lone wolf side as well. Sometimes I just need to get away and be alone. Big crowds of strange people intimidate me. I love animals, and my favorites are dolphins (My classmates always used to make "dolphin jokes" in class to tease me.) and penguins (My best friend Michelle will vouch for this.).

Hobbies: Watching TV, reading, writing, hanging with friends, and playing video games.

Favorite Bands: Linkin Park, Evanescence, Nickel Creek, and Nickelback. I basically like a little bit of everything.

Favorite Anime:

Beyblade

Bleach

Cardcaptor Sakura

Ouran High School Host Club

Magic Knight Rayearth

Megaman: NT Warrior and Axess

Naruto

Tsubasa Chronicle

Vampire Knight

Zoids

Favorite Video Games:

Tales of Symphonia: Easily one of the best RPGs I've ever played. I love Kratos! But then, so does every other fangirl... (Yes, I am a girl. Just thought I'd clarify that.) I have beaten the game twice.

Speaking of ToS, I have joined Youtube and uploaded a movie. This is a dedication to Kratos and tells the story of his life. I also have two AMVs now, one with ToS and one about Vampire Knight. To view it, click on the link below. If you have an account there, I sure would love to hear your input!

Baten Kaitos
Final Fantasy IV, VII, and X
Kingdom Hearts I, CoM, and II
Tales of the Abyss

Favorite Movies:

Lord of the Rings (all of them)
Star Wars
Pirates of the Caribbean (all of them)
Eragon

Favorite Pairings:

Beyblade: Anything with Tala and an OC or Kai and an OC. No yaoi!

Cardcaptor Sakura: I read Sakura/Yue pairings, but I also like the Sakura/Syaoran pairing.

Megaman: Megaman/Roll and Lan/Maylu. Anyone can see that it's a match made in heaven. I hate all Lan/Chaud pairings. They are just friends.

Naruto: Sasuke/Sakura, Naruto/Hinata, Neji/Tenten, and Shikamaru with either Ino or Temari.

Zoids: Van and Fiona all the way! Raven and Reese are cute together as well.

Tales of Symphona: Die-hard Kratos and Anna! I also like Collette/Lloyd, Genis/Presea, Yuan/Martel, and Zelos/Sheena, but I can see why people support Lloyd/Sheena as well.

Baten Kaitos: Kalas and Xelha are sooo cute!

Final Fantasy: I support both Cloud/Tifa and Cloud/Aerith, but I'm a die-hard Vincent/Yuffie fan. I also like Tidus/Yuna from FFX and Cecil/Rosa from FFIV.

Lord of the Rings: Legolas and an OC. I also support Aragorn/Arwen and Faramir/Eowyn pairings wholeheartedly.

Tales of the Abyss: Luke/Tear, Asch/Natalia, and anything where Guy is NOT GAY!!

Enough of that...

About my writing, you will never see me use a single curse word in my stories. I am a Christian, so I do not support same-gender pairings or incest. Any pairings in my stories will be straight. I accept constructive criticism and even flames, but good reviews make me the happiest :-)

Friends on :

Kratos Wilder: My first review was for one of her stories! Go read her stories!

Hiruka-Rei's-Kitty: One of my best friends in real life. I haven't seen her in a long time, though... That makes me sad. Hey, buddy!

kratos lover1: She has created the most incredible OC for ToS. Go read her stories!

AnnaAurion123: She got an account on just a few days before me, and I've reviewed all her stories. Go read them. They're really funny!

Ms. Controversy: She reviewed every chapter of "When the Ice Melts," "O Sister, Where Art Thou," and "Love and MatchMaking in the Mountains," which officially makes her my most faithful reviewer. Go you!

JusticeDream: Once again, a very faithful reviewer for "When the Ice Melts" and "O Sister, Where Art Thou." Thank you!

kay1fire: Yes, another faithful reviewer for "When the Ice Melts" and "O Sister, Where Art Thou." She even added "O Sister, Where Art Thou" to her C2 archive! Yay! That makes me happy!

Kare Uta: I love reading her story "Childhood Hell" since it stars my favorite beyblade character Tala! I've also read a lot of her one-shots featuring Kai. Her stories are really good, so you should go read them.

Alayne Rae: Calling all Riku fangirls! Go read these stories! All of her fics have Riku paired with an OC, and they just keep getting better and better. They were already good to start with.

PureBlackRaven: A faithful reviewer for my Beyblade fics and the most recent member of my C2 "Loving a Wolf." You rock, buddy!

whyamidoingthis01: She recently started reviewing "O Sister, Where Art Thou" and has reviewed "Love and MatchMaking in the Mountains." She actually wrote a giant paragraph in her profile recommending my stories! W00t! I feel so loved.

Completed Stories:

The Assassin's Ring: A cute Yuan/Martel oneshot about how Yuan got his ring.

A Carefree Afternoon: Friendship oneshot with Aragorn, Legolas, and the twins.

Someone Stole Yuan's Cape: A rather insane oneshot that my best friend and I wrote late at night on my birthday. There is no romance implied, so all you Kranna fans (of which I am a hardcore fan as well) do not need to flame me. It is just for fun and a good belly laugh. However, one of my reviewers wanted me to continue this story, and I have a new idea for how to do that. What if I write you reviewers into the story so you can steal his cape? You can even send me ideas for how you plot to steal it. If you want to be in the story, then send me a private message.

A Father's Love: A oneshot where Kratos returns from Derris-Kharlan and reunites with Lloyd.

When the Ice Melts: IT'S FINALLY COMPLETE! YAY!

The Heart of a Child: My first FFVII fic that I wrote after watching Advent Children. It's just a cute little one-shot based on Cloud's soft side towards children.

O Sister, Where Art Thou: Yes, after many months, it's FINALLY COMPLETE! W00t! Yeah, Tala is reunited with his long-lost sister after lots of drama, suspense, and action.

Love and MatchMaking in the Mountains: I'm so glad to be done with this trilogy of Beyblade fics, and I hope you've all enjoyed reading them!

You Were: Basically, it's a friendship fic with Kratos and Yuan giving my interpretation of certain events before the game and during the Torent Forest sequence. I'm really happy with how it turned out, so please check it out!

As Different as the Seasons: falls over Holy cow, I can't believe it's done! I've been working on that story for, what, two years almost? But overall, I'm really happy with how it turned out, and I think it's easily the best story I've ever written for this site. I'm currently planning a sequel, so if you loved this one, stay tuned!

Stories in Progress:

A New Lease on Life: I have discontinued this fic. Sorry, but I'm in college, and I really don't have the time to spend doing extensive writing. I swear, I was on a major fan-girlish writing spree at the time, and I'm rather ashamed of its Mary Sue-ness now.

A Light from the Ashes: Yeah, sorry to say, but I'm discontinuing this one as well. If I get an overwhelming response begging me to continue, I might reconsider.

Their Own Private Battles: This is the title for the sequel to As Different as the Seasons. It's currently in the planning stages, so I haven't actually published any chapters yet. I'll post a preview on my website soon, though, so stay tuned for more!

My OCs

"When the Ice Melts" Trilogy

1. Eri

Okay, Hiruka-Rei's-Kitty, my buddy in real life, actually came up with the name for this OC. She wanted to come up with an alternate name for me so she wouldn't have to use my real name in her stories (I'm finicky like that.) So...she played off my middle name and came up with the name Eri. So yeah she kinda based that OC off me. She also uses my best friend Michelle in her stories, though she actually uses her real name (Michelle's not finicky like that.) In my stories I've tried to make Eri into her own character, but I try to put some of my own personality into her.

Appearance: Dark brown hair that comes down to rest on her shoulders and emerald green eyes. Her figure is slender, with well-toned arms and legs from all the training at the Abbey.

Bit beast: Pyrix, a fire wolf with the ability to influence the hearts and minds of people and bit beasts. She only uses her powers for good and never to actually control people. When in battle, her tail consists entirely of red and yellow fire. Tufts of red flame surround all four of her paws. Her fur is bright red along her back and gradually fades to orange and then a yellowish-orange on her stomach. Her face is accented with the same yellow-orange. Finally, she has a brilliant red ruby set in the middle of her forehead. She can also materialize from her bit chip and take a physical form. Normally she retains her normal appearance and stays the size of a normal wolf, but when she has to walk out in public she disguises herself as a small brown puppy.

Special Attacks: Ethereal Flames and Oblivion Inferno. In two of my beyblade stories, Pyrix can use Ethereal Flames to also unlock suppressed memories in bit beasts and their masters.

Beyblade: Red with gold decals and a red bit chip

Other notes: Boris has Eri's parents killed in an attempt to capture Pyrix, but Eri escapes and spends two years living in a cold Russian alley until Boris' henchmen find her and bring her to the Abbey. There she meets Tala and the other Demolition Boys, helps Tala regain his memory after being brainwashed during the World Championships, and fights by their side to escape. She tends to be a bit tomboyish, but she grew up in an all-boys' Abbey. What can you expect?

2. Tammy

This is an OC I came up with all by my lonesome self. Yay! Anyway, she is Tala's long-lost twin sister. Dun, dun, dun! However, she doesn't exactly remember that little detail. While Boris was running Balkov Abbey in Russia, he was also monitoring a branch of Biovolt in the U.S. He ordered genetic experiments performed on female beybladers and found that they were easier to genetically reprogram than boys. So that's what he did to Tammy. While it didn't quite work on Tala, it succeeded completely on Tammy. Ergo, she's Boris' obedient little bey warrior. He's convinced her that her dear brother is the enemy and that she must take him out. And I'd better stop here lest I spoil even more of O Sister, Where Art Thou.

Appearance: Fiery red hair like Tala's that comes down to just below her shoulders. She usually either wears it down or in a ponytail. When she wears it down, her hair is mostly straight with a slight bit of wave (The wave comes mostly from keeping it in a ponytail holder all the time). Her figure is slender and slightly muscular (but not buff) from all her training in the U.S. Abbey. Her eyes are an icy blue like Tala's as well. Come on, they're twins. They're supposed to look alike, right?

Bit Beast: Umbra, a black wolf that was genetically altered by Biovolt. He has big silver metal rings around his ankles and silver armor tinged with red on his chest (shaped sorta like Dranzer's). Finally, he has a silver gemstone set in the middle of his forehead. Biovolt enhanced his power with darkness-based attacks, similar to Black Dranzer, and brainwashed him of all memories and emotions except the desire to dominate.

Special Attacks: Shadow Darts and Darkness Oblivion (ultimate attack)

Beyblade: Black with icy blue decals and a black bit chip

Okay, she-devil-16 took my challenge to draw a picture of Tammy, and I must say that it totally rocks! The link is right below. Just scroll to the bottom of the page, and you'll see the picture. It depicts Tammy and Umbra, her bit beast. I must say that you did an awesome job, and Tammy looks remarkably similar to how I picture her in my mind. Once again, great job! Thank you so much!

3. Michelle

Okay, this actually isn't an OC. She's actually my best friend in real life. She just likes being in my stories, so I write her in! Hiruka-Rei's-Kitty also writes her into her stories. Yeah, the three of us are bosom buddies. We get pretty hyper when stuck in the same room together, so watch out. Anyway, Michelle is even more of a tomboy than Eri. She has long blond hair that she prefers to wear down and is shorter than Eri.

Bit Beast: Dramikun, a blue phoenix with the power to control ice and lightning. Once again, I didn't invent Dramikun. Michelle did. I just use them in my stories. She doesn't mind, so don't sue me! I didn't steal them, I swear! Anyway, I wanted to mention Michelle and Dramikun so I can give credit where credit is due.

4. Clara

She's another OC in "O Sister, Where Art Thou." She's a member of Tammy's three-girl beyblading team and part of a scheme to get rid of Tala. She's the tallest one on the team and will be paired later.

Appearance: A couple of inches shorter than Spencer with short aqua blue hair that comes down to her chin. She's the skinniest one on Tammy's team.

Bit Beast: Delphinos, a silver-blue dolphin with the power to wield water.

Special Attack: Aqua Vortex

Beyblade: Light blue with yellow decals

5. Amy

She's the final OC in "O Sister, Where Art Thou." She's also the third blader on Tammy's team and the shortest one. Like Clara, she will be paired as well.

Appearance: A couple of inches shorter than Ian with brown hair that comes to the middle of herback and blonde highlights. Her build is similar to Ian's, just more feminine.

Bit beast: Colubra, a black cobra with blood red eyes, a silver abdomen,and a red hood.

Special Attack: Venom Darts

Beyblade: Orange with blood red decals
