Background
At a young age, it was discovered that Arilyn had a great power that none of the other children had. Arilyn had the ability to control elements, when she was young, it was just small things, but as she grew older, her power increased. Some of those who witnessed her powers, and were less knowledgeable on the legacy of the Sirens, accused Arilyn of being one, despite her not being born with the strange, powerful tatoo-like markings, and not having any phase-like abilities. Her parents tried to hide her in fear of what could happen to her if more powerful people found out, but she instead wanted to amplify her powers even further. She learned about Lilith, the powerful member of the Sirens, and her amazing control over the elements. From that moment on, she found anything she possibly could, from written entries to echos, relating to her.
After a while, she decided it was time to try to contact Lilith directly, and ask for permission to become her apprentice, but when she finally found location of her, it was too late, as she was said to have been killed at the hands of Handsome Jack. Arilyn, in rage, took the next train to Pandora, to personally take out Jack herself, and avenge her future, unofficial mentor's death.
Appearance
Arilyn is fairly average in height (about 2 inches taller than Gaige.) She has extreme burns and scarring from her hands all the way up her arms from when she would accidentally injure herself attempting to master her powers. In her default appearance, she has dark brown hair that is singed at the tips, and is pulled back in a ponytail, she has neon green irises. She wears a dark purple skin-tight shirt that has burn marks around the end of the sleeves (one sleeve is burned higher than the other,) and a pair of dark blue pants that have burn marks around the legs. She wears a pair of foot gloves also that makes it much easier for her to maintain her agility.
