CHARACTER INFO
❥ Name: Edmund Pevensie, King Edmund the Just, Duke of Lantern Waste, Count of the Western March, Knight of the Noble Order of the Table.
❥ Canon: Chronicles of Narnia
❥ Canon Point: End of Dawn Treader, instead of returning to England.
❥ History: Edmund specific Wiki
While I play Edmund from the book canon and chronology there are small things that I sometimes borrow from the movies as far as minor details in mannerisms, appearance, speech patterns and the like that are not covered in the books. Lewis gives us very little characterization in much of the books, especially given the amount of time covered by them.
❥ Personality: Edmund is a man haunted by his past.
In his youth he was a spoiled boy with few redeeming qualities. He suffered from many of the issues that middle children often do, feeling he had to live up to his older brother's standards while at the same time being treated as lesser due to his age. He holds a vast amount of jealousy in him as a boy, feeling he deserves the same freedoms as his older siblings and often taking out his frustrations on his younger sister.
But Lucy is the baby of the family so, clearly, she is always in the right as well. Peter is the oldest and in charge while their father is at war. Susan is the beautiful one, following in their mother's footsteps. And Edmund? He sees no place for himself in their family at that young age and lashes out with biting words and cruel pranks to make himself feel less inferior to the others.
It's no wonder that the promise of power and a little doting go so far to twist his loyalties when the White Witch offers to make him her prince.
That selfish betrayal haunts Edmund for the rest of his life. He was a foolish child that wanted nothing more than to be recognized for his own merits and not compared to his siblings. He gained that recognition but not at all in a way he wanted it. Over the years in Narnia he learns well from this. The past that clings to him makes him a more serious man than his siblings, especially carefree Lucy (whom he becomes fiercely protective of in later years).
He is judge, politician, and lawyer for Narnia, writing laws, studying their lore, and taking steps to ensure the country's alliances and treaties with neighboring countries. He is grave, protective, and a brilliant strategist. His brother has the charisma and force of will to lead the armies of Narnia into battle but it is Edmund that has the mental abilities to ensure they win the wars.
He excells at chess due to his logical mind and while Peter may be an excellent warrior, in a one on one duel there is none better than Edmund, using his slightly smaller size and agility to dual wield swords to deal devastaing blows to his enemies.
These same strengths are, in some ways, his downfalls as well. He is sometimes too serious and his own need to offer penance to his country and his siblings means that he will often over work himself, neglecting basic needs such as sleep and meals in favor of locking himself up in his study to ensure that he will do what is right by Narnia and that he has all the information he needs to make a fair decision.
He is unquestionably fair in all his rulings, his own experiences giving him the unique ability to truly look at things objectively from both sides of an argument. He has been the one in the wrong before and he was dealt a fair punishment by Aslan and he tries to hold to that standard of equality in every case he hears.
It may be how deeply ingrained their past is in him that allows him to be the one to retain some vague memory of their life before Narnia when the Golden Age comes to a close or it may be that reason that Aslan gave to him the Western Wood and Lantern Waste, to ensure he would always remember what had happened there.
Returning to London after their reign in Narnia effects Edmund less than his siblings. Peter becomes angry at their loss, Susan distances herself from it to stave off the pain, Lucy mourns the loss of their friends... and Edmund accepts it with all the grace he can manage, thankful for the time they had and trusting in Aslan's wisdom. He supports his siblings and does his best to be grateful and stifle the greediness that characterized so much of his behavior as a child.
Of all of them Edmund is the most changed by their journey into Narnia and over their further adventures in both England and Narnia he remains true to his changes. Not that he no longer feels any of the dark, envious thoughts that plagued him as a boy. They are still there, an ever present internal struggle that he must constantly check himself on, which is why his behavior on Deathwater Island is so uncharacteristic.
When they return to help Caspian secure the throne Edmund ceeds gracefully, his ability to look at things objectively allowing him to recognize that their time as Kings and Queens has past and they must instead secure the future of their country.
He may always be more somber and reserved than his siblings and even the rest of the Seven Friends of Narnia but he is also possibly the most content with where his life has led him. He spent too much of his youth in bitter jealousy to allow such feelings to color his opinions and actions later in life.
❥ Abilities: Edmund has no truly supernatural abilities but he is an expert swordsman and duelist, specializing in dual wielding swords. He is a strategist and is well versed in assisting to run a country as well as extensive court proceedings. He is a skilled horseman as well.
