Arya might be Eragons Sister ? Options

[Professor Blagde...]

bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgh ka ak ak *vomit for 30 minutes**wipes crap from mouth* Amen bruddha

I agree, this theory leaves more than little nausiated. I honestly hope it isn't true.

[Imperfect]

Some clues in the story could point to that.

1. Angela foretold an epic romance that might not have a happy ending. (One sided Romance)
2. Brom was given the Yawe ring, by Islanzadi and she was sad at his death.
3. When Eragon in Eldest made the Fairth, Oromis said Eragon and Arya could not be.
4. Paolini hint at Eastcroft in Brisingr (She is not alone for she is my sister ?)
5. Paolini hint in Geneology chapter of Brisingr when Eragon learned Brom was his father he asked
"Do I have any other siblings you are not telling me about", Oromis did not answer that.


I hope it does not turn out to be this, I would like to see Arya and Eragon get together.
I think it would kill the story somewhat if this happend

It won't. Let us analyze your points one by one.

1) Romance means a relationship between two lovers.
2) As it has been already stated, Arya is an full elf and has already been shown to be Evandar and Islanzadi's daughter. She is not half human or some hybrid like Eragon is.
3) Oromis said to Eragon that a union between the two of them is impossible due to "(his) own youth, culture, race, and responsibilities." Nothing to suggest that they are related.
4) Eragon just used that as an excuse for the men to leave them alone. That wasn't CP's way of hinting that they are related.
5) That is because he was not asking Oromis that question, he was asking Saphira.

One other hint from Christopher Paolini to ponder is, If you listen to the interview with Christopher Paolini that is on the end of Disc 10 of the Brisingr audiobook. (Non Unabridged by Kerry Shale). Not sure where else this interview is.

Christopher Paolini talks about the titles of the books he says they are based on what Eragon
Inherits. In Eldest Eragon inherits Murtagh the Eldest member of their family "Or so they think" as quoted from the Interview.

Eragon and Murtagh are related because they share the same mother, not father. Since Islanzadi is Arya's mother, then she cannot be Murtagh's sibling because they do not share the same mother or father and thus are not related in any way. So logically speaking, it cannot be Arya. It is someone else. You need not worry about CP doing something utterly that ridiculous and stupid.

Agreed. Fully.

[AHEM]

No way! There is absolutely no freaking way that Eragon and Arya are siblings.

1. It is way too cliched. CP has to have gotten the hint by now that his books are too close to Star Wars as they are.

2. That would be horrifically disgusting.

3. Arya does not look half human at all.(Though I will admit she might be able to hide her features with magic.)

4. Eragon has already faced the revelation that he has a sibling he doesn't know about; we don't need an identical revelation.

5. Brom was in love with Selena, not Islanzadi. Angela said that the woman he loved met her doom, didn't she?

6. If Arya is Brom's daughter, why didn't she inherit his blue-colored magic like Eragon did?

7. This would induce angst in Eragon when he found out, and I think we have plenty of that already.

[Shadow of Light]

With all due respect, I think this theory is just outright silly.

It makes no sense at all, and if you are right and this theory will come true, I will send a very angry letter to CP. I mean, your evidence makes sense, and I cannot find proof that directly contradicts the theory, but it's just so far-fetched, and CP wouldn't dare make it so after the whole first novel was that close to plagiarism of Star Wars.

I respect your creativity, but I find it highly unlikely.

[HeaRtiE]

I don't know where they got this idea, but its so... stupid?! If this happens, I would screw the book and send CP an angry email or letter... Its not possible! They're too far from being siblings,.elf&human, evandar,islandzadi&brom,selena... it proves so much.

[Seph BoneBreaker]

First off Arya is full elf. Eragon's parents are Brom and Selena, and Arya's parents are Evandar and Islandzadi. I don't think the Queen of the Elves would cheat with a Human rider, or Brom personalty would allow him to do that.

Maybe Christopher Paolini is going to follow a Star Wars trend and make Arya, Eragons Sister.

Maybe Brom and Islanzadi had a fling at one point.

2. Brom was given the Yawe ring, by Islanzadi and she was sad at his death.

Hey everyone, not posted in a while, but I'm back for now!

Anyway, this is insane! As someone said eariler, Arya isn't the slightest bit human, she looks down on them! Eragon we now, had two human parents - Selena and Brom. Meanwhile, we know Arya parents were Evander and Islanzadi. It just doesn't fit.

And to knock down your points :

1. It CANNOT be an epic romance if it is one-sided!
2. Eragon was given it as well - It doesn't mean Islanzadi fancies him. And of course Islanzadi would be sad at his death - most other people were!
3. And as he explains at the time, it is because Eragon needs to focus on saving the empire.
4. Paolini hints alot more towards an A/E romance
5. Oh come on - It would just be stupid if Eragon had lots of secret siblings. And just because Oromis is silent doesn't mean a new secret sibling will be Arya or indeed he has one.

It's a long shot, but IF there is a new sibling, my gut feeling is that it will be Nasuada.

[Saeb]

If it was true (which I hope it is not) then it would really follow Star Wars, not just because they would be siblings, but also because Luke loved Leia (I think) until he found out.

The following is a joke:

A possible explanation of half-halfness:
They could be twins, with a Rule of Alagaesian Nature that instead of both being half-half, one would be human and one elf.

Reason why that can't work:
Arya is like, 83 years older than Eragon, and if Selena was Izlanzadi....BUMBADABUM.

[BartimaeusTrilog...]

There was another topic on this. Eragon's Sis, mthinks it was called. But that was locked down, was it not?

*sigh*

No. Arya and Brom were about the same age.

Angela foretold an epic romance that might not have a happy ending.

Point? Why does this main they are siblings? Maybe Arya juat doesn't like him that way? O_o

Brom was given the Yawe ring, by Islanzadi and she was sad at his death.

He was one of the last Riders left, he created the Varden, stole one of the last Dragon eggs and returned it to the elves, and was close to Oromis. Was he not close to the King as well? I cannot remember. Anywho, that qualifies to become and Elf friend, in my opinion....

When Eragon in Eldest made the Fairth, Oromis said Eragon and Arya could not be.

Maybe because she's like 100 years old? O_o And he's like 17? And apparently, judging from that scene, she's not to into him? And as Oromis probably knew of her involvement with Faolin as well?

Nd as for Selena and Islanzadi being one and the same, Selena died. Not to mention, why was Garrow then a normal aging human?

1. She foretold an epic romance that would outlast empires. At what point has there been Eragon been in an epic romance? By outlasting empires i think it means there romance will last till long after the empire falls.
2. Brom was the last rider and was the friend of elves. Would you not be sad if one of your friends died? Elves are not emotionless monsters they just hide it.
3. I think Oromis said that because he didn't want Eragon distracted from his training or the task at hand (defeating Galby)
4. I think Eragon just said that so the soldiers would leave her be.
5. I'm guessing when Eragon said that he was quite hysterical. Therefor Oromis didn't need to answer it.

I don't think Arya is half human or changes her appearance with magic because when she changes her appearance to go looking for Eragon in the Empire she cannot wait to change back. And also i think it said in Eldest that she has a strong resemblance to her mother. In Eldest when Eragon goes into her room does it saying something about the portrait of Evander and if there was an resemblance?

No. Arya and Brom were about the same age.

Actually, Brom is older than Arya. Arya was born only a year before the fall of the riders. Brom was at least an adult by that point.

Nd as for Selena and Islanzadi being one and the same, Selena died. Not to mention, why was Garrow then a normal aging human?

Were you replying to me? If you were, I didn't suggest that.

[BartimaeusTrilog...]

I know, but in considering their overall age, tis not a huge difference in my opinion. Not like, say, Arya and Eragon.

. . . if Selena was Izlanzadi....BUMBADABUM.

^ Twas what I was replying to, apologies.

1. Angela foretold an epic romance that might not have a happy ending. (One sided Romance) It could just be that Arya rejects him.
2. Brom was given the Yawe ring, by Islanzadi and she was sad at his death. Brom was an elf friend. And very helpful to the elves. So why wouldn't Islanzadi be sad?
3. When Eragon in Eldest made the Fairth, Oromis said Eragon and Arya could not be. I think he meant romance at the time would distract Eragon from his lessons.
4. Paolini hint at Eastcroft in Brisingr (She is not alone for she is my sister ?) That was an excuse so the soldiers would stop hitting on Arya.
5. Paolini hint in Geneology chapter of Brisingr when Eragon learned Brom was his father he asked
"Do I have any other siblings you are not telling me about", Oromis did not answer that. Who knows? Maybe he does have siblings, but it could be someone else.

Answers in orange.

Nice theory, but I highly doubt it.

[VaultofKuthian]

Even if she was, Eragon would still want her.... hahahaha. But no seriously, CP would not do this. Even for how much he does like SW..
