Arianna is a sweet girl with a strong sense of empathy | [[File:arianna-wings.png|thumb|Wings]] | ||
Arianna is a sweet girl with a strong sense of empathy; she genuinely desires to help others. She makes friends easily and trusts just as easily. However, when betrayal hits, it is devastating to her. Despite this, she is still quick to forgive and accept enemies or former friends back into her life. She enjoys getting lost in music, primarily through dance but also by playing the flute or singing. She feels an unusual connection to song and dance, as if they hold some kind of power. When she's performing, even if only for herself, she feels at peace with herself and who she is. | |||
Arianna also experiences flashes of insight into her former life as a Queen, though she is unable to articulate these feelings. To her, they are instinctual urges to handle a situation in a certain way. Although she does not know where these insights come from, she follows her instincts. | |||

In reality, Arianna was once the most powerful Fairy in [[Elder Soteria]]. During the time of the [[War of the False Prophets]], she was the Fairy Queen. In the final days, the [[Fairies]] were among the first to try to stop the violence. They used their abilities in cunning, persuasion, and deal-making to lead the humans towards peace.

Many of the wisest Fairies realized that the magic was turning inward before the final runes were set. They tried to warn the [[Ageless Ones]] of their folly, but their efforts were unsuccessful. The hubris of the Ageless Ones could not be matched. So, the Fairies turned to their own magic. It is unknown how many Fairies survived and how many were lost to the [[Dark Aether]], but Arianna sacrificed herself and her knowledge, effectively becoming human. All of her memories and understanding were sealed away in the [[Musae Custodi]] she wears around her neck. The locket serves as a key that would not only restore her memories and understanding but also unravel the powerful spell that transformed her into a human. The human mind cannot contain the vast knowledge, power, and understanding of a Fairy. Consequently, most of her powers and abilities are sealed away along with her memory. | |||

Background
Arianna doesn't know where she is from and has no memory of anything before the day she was found at the Radiant Spring. All she knows is her name and that she loves to entertain, especially through dance. However, she will often sing to herself when sad.

In the final days, the Fairies were among the first to try to stop the violence. They used their abilities in cunning, persuasion, and deal-making to lead the humans towards peace.
