Arin Nived
22
0Arin Nived is the son of Barry and Jenny Nived, a self-taught Spinjitzu prodigy, creator of Object Spinjitzu, a ninja student of Lloyd's, and a former student of Ras. He is the first known person to teach himself Spinjitzu without a master. He used to live in a neighborhood outside Ninjago City, until the Merge caused his parents and region to disappear. Years after the Merge, Arin and his best friend Sora became students of Lloyd Garmadon. Arin was once an ordinary child who aspired to be a hero. However, after the Merge, he underwent a significant change. When he believed that the ninja had vanished, he striven to take on the role of protecting the world, gaining his parents' pride, and continuing the ninja's legacy. Despite his noble intentions, Arin faced several challenges in his ninja journey due to his lack of coordination and finesse compared to his peers. This often resulted in clumsy mishaps, such as self-inflicted punches. Arin is kind, caring, kind-hearted, compassionate, helpful, trusting, affectionate, and friendly. However, he can sometimes act naive and is willing to trust others easily. He was incredibly fond of his former friends such as Sora, Riyu, and Lloyd. The fear of inadequacy and the need to prove himself in the face of adversity deepen Arin's inner conflicts. These conflicts are especially evident during a battle orchestrated by Ras, where his vulnerabilities and doubts were exposed. After being told by Ras that Wu was responsible for the Merge and that Sora lied to him, Arin started to become cold and willing to side with Ras to find his parents, as his teaching helped improve his Spinjitzu while Lloyd’s teachings barely helped him at all. He stopped seeing Lloyd as a role model and started to hold a grudge against Sora and to pull away from her, sometimes being harsh to her when she tried to approach him.
