Here is the translation: ## Portrait of Aravis Aravis Tarkheena is a proud and independent young girl from the Calormen region of the world of Narnia. She is the main character in *The Horse and His Boy* and is the daughter of Kidrash Tarkaan, a nobleman in Calormen. Aravis is initially portrayed as somewhat haughty and dismissive of Narnia and its talking animals, but she grows to appreciate the land and its people as she experiences their kindness and bravery firsthand. Aravis is also known for her bravery and resourcefulness, especially during her journey with Shasta (Cor) and Hwin (the talking horse) to escape the Calormen and reach Narnia. She plays a crucial role in the story, contributing significantly to the group's success. Her character arc is one of transformation from a self-centered and skeptical individual to someone who embraces the values of honor, loyalty, and courage, ultimately becoming a heroine of Narnia.

En bref

Aravis is the daughter of a high-ranking Calormene nobleman, a Tarkaan. Raised to tell stories in the style of court poets, ride horses, and shoot arrows, she is proud, fearless, and unafraid of almost anything. When her father attempts to force her into marriage with a repulsive old vizier, she chooses to flee north on her mare Hwin, who also turns out to be a talking beast from Narnia.

« I tell your story, not his. No one learns from another’s story. »

I am telling you your story, not hers. No one is told any story but their own.

— Aslan to Aravis, The Horse and His Boy, ch. 14

Aravis Tarkheena

Aravis is a young girl who escaped from the land of Calormen on her talking horse Hwin and met Shasta and his horse Bree. Her childhood was rather turbulent : she lost her mother at a young age, one of her brothers was taken prisoner in war, and her father remarried a woman who hated her. Moreover, her father wanted to force her to marry Ahoshta Tarkaan. That is why she decided to run away. With Shasta, Bree, and Hwin, they lived many adventures in *The Horse and His Boy* and she returned in *The Last Battle*. In the meantime, she married Shasta.
