Arianna is fond for all manner of white and silver accents in her choice of clothing. Her fashion sense is very well developed and seems to change depending on the current trend. Although she is very slender, her height makes her appear even more so. Lending to a certain delicate air about her. Her eyes sparkle with a certain liveliness and she has the most breathtaking smile. The young diplomat chooses her words carefully and when she speaks it is with a soft, clear pitch that captures the interest of those around her. If she were a bit older, or depending on her manner of dress for the evening, one might consider her to be innately a very sensual girl. She possesses delicate facial features with full pouty lips that wordlessly promise some sort of carnal pleasure.

Arianna loves jewelry and has made more than one friend through gifts of gems and precious stones which she sends to her family's craftsmen back home to refine into stunning accessories.

Personality

Arianna's beauty is equalled by her cleverness, which she has in abundance. A true protege of her mother, she is a gifted manipulator who knows how to maneuver her way in court politics. She has formidable skill in rooting out the desires and needs of those nearest to her and finding a way to provide them with it. Though her manipulations are secondary to her charm and ability to abstain from acting on her impulses, mostly. She can blend in seemlessly with any group of people she chooses and win their hearts. This is a talent that stems from her genuine desire to please others. The young diplomat possesses a certain tact and politeness that others in her station might lack. While she can be quite blunt if necessary she exudes courtly behaviors and courtesies. Arianna does not let her sex stop her from succeeding in life, instead she uses her wiles within the social standards of proper feminity.

Background

Her father being the Count of Stonewood himself, until he died and her eldest brother Malesh inherited the title. She grew up with a fascination for culture and anthropology. Always a people watcher and a clever girl from the start, she learned how to read before she was able to walk and she spoke quite early. She was pale of skin and fair, her family could not be more proud of their newest addition. Though she was never directly subject to the pressures of her family, their reputation as the reigning house from Pride Hall to Whitehawk was an immense weight to bear. Arianna learned the subtlies of people's mannerisms and customs, the way they held themselves when they were proud or broken. The little tells that people had when they were lying. All of these aspects of psychology intrigued her and she quietly learned by throwing herself into the proverbial lions den. Having been born to the courts and becoming intimately familiar with it, she realized she would better serve her family as a diplomat for the Crownsworn. Though they wished to see her married for some political gain, she promised them that she could curry just as much favor if not more in the courts of Arx. It was a dangerous ploy but there was also good reason to send her and her brother Graham to the city. She has always been close to her family but the relationship she shares with her brother is very close. The two of them are inseparable and often seen in one another's company, despite her departure from the Stonewood family proper. Her reputation as a talented ambassador quickly made her a popular choice for the Crown when delicate negotiations needed to handling. She specializes in a variety of disciplines and is a girl of many talents. What remains to be seen is how far she will go and to what lofty heights she may rise.
