Born in Fort Worth, TX to a Korean American mother and an American father of German/British descent, Waverly was named after the chess playing prodigy Waverly Jong, from Amy Tan's "Joy Luck Club". Like her namesake, Waverly's "invisible strength" coupled with her zest for life has earned her many wonderful experiences and opportunities. An accomplished all around athlete, Waverly started playing club soccer at 4 years old, won two All Star Elite National Cheer championships, and trained in figure skating with British pairs champion Erika Shorr (Taylforth). Her current athletic passion is in English Hunter/Jumper/Equitation riding, where she has already won numerous awards and accolades in multiple shows across Southern California where she currently resides. As a creative, Waverly enjoys co-writing music with her closest friends and is currently writing a fantasy adventure episodic which she hopes to complete in the next year. She loves to read, paint, dote on her numerous pets (3 dogs, 4 guinea pigs, and a horse), and loves to explore astrological signs and characteristics. When she's not being a full time kid living her best life, Waverly loves bringing her diverse experiences and interests to the characters she brings to life on screen. With multiple highly anticipated projects to be released in 2022, Waverly hopes that her visibility in mainstream media will encourage and positively impact other underrepresented POC to break stereotypes and pursue their dreams on their own terms.
Valyn, Kaden and Adare, the three grown children of the recently assassinated Annurian Emperor, are scattered across the world, set on different life-paths by their father without explanation. Valyn is training with the Kettral, an elite special ops force that flies covert military missions on giant hawks. Kaden is an acolyte studying the ancient mysteries of the Shin monks high in the Bone Mountains. And Adare remains at home in the Dawn Palace, navigating the complex ins and outs of Annurian politics. With the murder of their father, each has become a potential heir to the throne and target of the same insidious conspiracy responsible for his death. Will sibling rivalry and mistrust keep them apart? Or will they come together to defeat the real enemy threatening the empire and all of humanity...
