==About Aravis==
 +
Aravis is a fiercely independent tomboy who calmly plans her own suicide when told she must marry Ahoshta Tarkaan. Though very proud, Aravis is a brave and honorable companion. When Aravis first meets Shasta she feels superior to him because he is a person of lower rank, but she sees the practicality of journeying together. She thinks quickly in crisis situations and never complains about the hardships of travelling (though she resents having to dress as a slave when they enter Tashbaan). Aravis has all the impatience and haughtiness of her privileged class, but is able to change her behavior when confronted with events that contradict her presuppositions. When she meets Shasta again after he saved her from the lion, she humbles herself to apologize to him for her weeks of scorn as they journeyed together. Aravis is a strong and memorable character with whom many modern female readers readily identify.
