And the lie is... (drumroll) The third option is a lie! Eidan knows only one type of ballroom dance and its a basic, but traditional Monberian waltz he learned during the time in his childhood when he became friends with the kids of the city's Duke.
The other two options are completely true!
Eidan lost his parents at a young age and was soon abandoned by his indebted - and drunken - uncle, leaving him and his cousin to pay off the many debts. As a result Eidan was raised by his cousin, a young man named Devyn who was a few years older than him and taught him how to survive in their less than ideal situation.
During the fall of the old ducal regime of Monbern, Eidan lost one of his arms when he was attacked by an enemy soldier. After the wound was healed, Eidan built his first mechanical arm himself, but it was improvised and not very reliable. After he started to earn a lot of gold as a mercenary and monster hunter, Eidan had a custom-made arm built by one of the finest smiths of the realm. It was a great improvement from the first version he had made, and allows him to channel magic through it as well. He gets it repaired and refitted regularly to ensure it remains fully functional and comfortable.

And the answer is: the lie is number three! You guys got it right! Scarlet knows his real name (his actual name is Thom/Thomas) but he prefers to use his childhood nickname (Scarlet) as a name instead. It was a choice he made mostly for the sake of anonymity (keeping them more easily hidden from potential bounty hunters or assassins sent after them) but also because he actually really preferred his nickname over his actual name.
Scarlet did indeed save Nimwen on the day her father was executed, sparing her from a similar fate by taking her away from the crowds before the King's knights could get to her. They ran away into the woods of the realm, where they survived the next decades as outlaws, trying to not be captured by the bounty hunters and knights sent to finish the job.
Scarlet was orphaned at a young age, but his intellect and curiosity for knowledge got the attention of a young noble - Nimwen's father - who took him in as his apprentice and adopted him as his son. Nimwen's father saw Scarlet's potential and hoped the boy could also be his successor in his studies of magic, while Nimwen followed a more political route (if she chose so when she grew up). But it wouldn't be longer until their lives fell apart - with Nimwen's father being wrongfully executed for treason and the siblings forced to run away.

I'll go with Leora Tallin from Of Starlight and Beasts for this one!

And the lie was: Option 2! You guys are good at guessing these! Leora is not a non-magical human. She is very much a mage, and her magic was one of the core reasons she ended up taken by the Crimson Queen's army when she was a child. While she did escape the Crimson Queen, the non-magical part is definitely not true, and she is also not the only person to escape the Crimson Queen - though there have been few (though very few) and most have not been as successful as Leora was.
Leora was indeed forced to become a child soldier in the Crimson Queen's army when she was only around nine years old. She had been a war orphan, alongside her older sister - who had always kept her safe - however, an accident led Leora's magical prowess to catch the attention of Eclipsed Inquisitors and caused her to be kidnapped. While training to become one of the many soldiers in the Queen's army, she met a boy named Nikos, who was a few years older than her and ended up becoming both her adoptive older brother and mentor. They managed to escape together a few years later, and Leora was reunited with her big sister, Valere.
As mentioned beforehand, she does have a biological older sister, Valere, who is eleven years older than her, and an adoptive older brother, Nikos, who is five years older than her.

I'll go with Elveryn Haven, from Song of Thorns, the relentless but traumatized monster hunter who was tasked by the King to hunt down and kill Renn (and bring the others to 'justice').

And the answer is: Option 3 is the lie! While Elveryn does hunt vampires and other creatures he considers "monsters", he does not have any faith in the Gods. In fact, he harbors some resentment/hatred towards any divine entity, as he believes the Gods to be cruel and unfair (since they did not save his little brother, an innocent child, from a gruesome fate, when he pleaded for the Gods to save him no one answered). He does not care for worship or anything similar, for those reasons, and also because he spends most of his time focused on his revenge.
Option 1 is correct. Elveryn is not only a ruthless monster hunter but also a brilliant and resourceful inventor - he created a new, improved kind of enchanted crossbow, one that can shoot up to three flame-enchanted silver arrows/bolts at a single target at a time, instead of him needing to nock an arrow every time. Some of his arrows are also infused with explosive powder for extra damage on impact.
Option 2 is also correct. As a teen, Elveryn was a very sweet and polite young man who would never have hurt a fly and was utterly terrified of blood, to the point of sometimes passing out when seeing it. Nowadays, after spending so long focused on his revenge/wiping out every monster on the land, he learned to control his phobia of blood, to the point of mostly being numb to it. However, while he still has some level of hemophobia (mixed with a small bit of germaphobia) he wears thick leather gloves and long-sleeved clothes to avoid coming into contact with someone else's blood.
