CHARACTER
Name: Edmund Pevensie
Canon: The Chronicles of Narnia (movie series)
Age: 13
Demigod/Hunter/Satyr/Nymph: Son of Athena
Demigod abilities: He's a very good tactician with proficiency in using a sword. Edmund is an intelligent boy, able to pick things up fairly quickly (though he doesn't apply himself nearly as much as the average Athena child). Wisdom is something he's currently lacking in because he doesn't see the use of it, and as such primarily ignores the part of him that's prodding him about the decisions he's making, though this will change when he goes through his redemption.
Personality: Edmund is initially a mischievous boy with a slightly cruel twist to it. He mocks his little sister, Lucy, and is constantly against his two older siblings, Peter and Susan. More often than not in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Edmund is at odds with Peter. He resents both of them for trying to be like their absent parents after being evacuated to the countryside during the bombings in London. Edmund even mockingly tells Susan, "Yes, mum," after she tells him to do something, and screams at Peter that he (Peter) thinks he's their dad, but he's not. The politest word to call him at this point is most likely "brat." Once, after going into Narnia with Lucy, he tells everyone that he didn't actually go there, but that he and Lucy had been pretending. It's perhaps the single most cruel thing Edmund ever does. Indeed, this side of Edmund is commented on as being something that happens after being sent to a boarding school only the year previous. Still, he never intends for his family to get hurt or killed because of his actions, and is downright appalled at the White Witch's cruelty towards every living thing that's against her. It's after talking to Aslan that he changes to the person he used to be, and not the cruel brat seen for half of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
He becomes a bit more serious after being rescued from the White Witch, Jadis. Edmund also does a complete 180 in regards to how he treats Lucy. Instead of bullying her, he starts to basically become her number one supporter. When she says she sees Aslan in Prince Caspian and nobody else does, Edmund is the only one who believes her and says as much. His loyalty to his family increases dramatically as well. Edmund constantly has Peter's back in both battle and in whatever plan his older brother comes up with. He becomes fiercely protective of his loved ones, even Eustace whom he actively despises during The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. The biggest example is during the scene in which Edmund first makes an appearance in Prince Caspian. He immediately gets into a fight that Peter is losing to give his older brother some much needed back up. He tackles a kid holding Peter's head down to the tracks and doesn't care about the scolding they get from the soldiers, as long as his big brother's alright.
There's really only one word that's sufficient to describe Edmund no matter what: sassy. He's one of the sassiest people one will ever meet. Take this, for example. In Prince Caspian, Edmund is sent to the middle of an enemy camp to deliver a challenge to the enemy king on Peter's behalf. He then proceeds to sass the king in the heart of the enemy camp where he is severely outnumbered. Why does he do such a thing? Because he's Edmund Pevensie, the Brat King. His sarcasm is just as bad as his sass, and not even Peter is spared from it.
He's honestly a quick-witted person. Combine this with his tendency to sass anything that gives him an opening, and you get a guy with a sharp tongue. An example of it is when Eustace enters the room he and Lucy are in, and makes the first two lines of a limerick that mocks his cousin as well as rhymes, which is more than what Eustace manages. He's also quick to goad Miraz in Prince Caspian to accept Peter's challenge. Edmund's the one to surmise that Cair Paravel was attacked after the four of them leave Narnia the first time, too.
Edmund still has flaws, though. After being a King of Narnia for 15 or so years, he's used to having respect and giving commands. This stops once he gets back to his world, and while he continues to have respect in Narnia, it's Caspian that they follow and not him. He yearns to get even a piece of that life back, as seen during Voyage of the Dawn Treader's opening scene when he tries to pass as being old enough to join the British military. Edmund says as much to Lucy, and sarcastically tells Peter during Prince Caspian that they are kids now. It's hard to cope with, but he knows he has to.
He has times where he has trouble doing what he's told, though this is much more noticeable during The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Edmund disobeys Peter twice in the movie. Once it's to get a picture of their father while their home town is being bombed. The second is disobeying Peter's order for him to go get their sisters and leave for home. This order he ignores and goes after Jadis, breaking her scepter, and then almost getting killed. Praise be for Lucy's healing cordial.
The kid also has some issues with his older brother. Mostly, he feels as if he's constantly in Peter's shadow. This issue is part of the reason as to why he goes to the side of the White Witch, though the main reason is because he ate and drank her enchanted food. Jadis tells him that he can be king, and Peter won't be a king, and that sounds like a sweet deal at first. Edmund wants to prove that he's just as great as his brother. He does learn to keep his loyalty and love for Peter at the forefront rather than let his bitterness decide his actions, but it's still there underneath it all.
AU History: Edmund was the third-born child in the Pevensie household, with his youngest sister, Lucy, born a year later. He'd lived happily in London, England, though he had a hard time in school because of his dyslexia and ADHD. Edmund didn't get to see his father very often, though, for he was enlisted in the British army and was far from home for most of the year.
His school life consisted mostly of either private or boarding schools. They changed every other year mostly because odd things tended to happen that would cause Edmund to need a transfer to a different school. It first happened when he was five years old, and he told his family that it hadn't been his fault because the teacher had become a terrible monster right before his eyes. His mother believed him, but Edmund was sure that the rest of his family didn't. After all, there were no such things as monsters.
As if that wasn't bad enough, the spiders only made things worse. He had a terrible and unreasonable fear of the little beasts, no matter how small or harmless it was. It was unavoidable, too, since there were times at school where he'd see one. No matter what, he couldn't control the fear, and it came to a head when he turned 12 years old.
At the age of 12, Edmund was sent to a boarding school. This boarding school warped his personality, and Peter, his older brother, hadn't made things much easier. He'd been bullied and made fun of, from his phobia of spiders to his dyslexia to the fact that his eyes were brown while the rest of his siblings had blue. He didn't think he could tell anyone about it because he didn't think anyone would believe him or make it all stop. Edmund had been so fed up that he purposefully got himself kicked out of that boarding school by the end of the year. He'd gotten such a scolding for it, but he hadn't exactly cared.
Edmund's mother then decided that the only way to really help her third-born was to send him to Camp Half-Blood. She'd known that she'd have to ever since the goddess Athena graced him on their doorstep. She told Edmund out of earshot of the other Pevensie children all of what she knew about his true heritage. Needless to say, he took it rather badly, though for once he never voiced his thoughts. He'd felt a certain detachment from his family after that, and told his mother bitterly that he'd go to the camp to meet the siblings he'd never known the existence of.
(If Edmund was perfectly honest with himself, then he'd admit that knowing that she wasn't his birth mother actually hurt him quite a bit, and that he wasn't sure what to think or feel about it. He'd never met Athena in his life, and she was a goddess to boot.)
It wasn't long until he was on a plane to America to go to a strange camp all alone, and was expected to stay year-round with only a few holiday trips back home. After all, apparently the camp was in some trouble with an earth goddess and some organization of whatever kind, so they'd needed all the help they could get. Wonderful.
