Personality:
Ari is sort of a happy-go-lucky girl at times, well, normally that is how she is when she is only around Thomas. She tends to let go of everything and doesn't allow the fact that their relationship has to be a secret. When she isn't alone with Thomas and has to be around other vampires, she is a bit calm, mono-tone in a way. She keeps a blank expression to her face and ends up hating that she is a vampire.

Ari doesn't really like being the maid-hand for a Swift child, but knows that she wouldn't get to see Thomas if she wasn't a part of the clan. She is a bit of a jealous girl; hates seeing any other woman, whether human or vampire, being all over Thomas or wanting to be with him in one way or another.

When Ari is with Madeleine alone, she is sometimes a bit cherry and smiles, laughs and such with the little girl and makes sure that she has everything that she needs.

Personal History:
Ariella was born on a cold winter morning on January 12th, 1900. She had no siblings and her parents weren't going to be giving her anymore, seeing as her mother ended up dying giving birth to her. Her father was in distress from it all, but he did his best to give Ariella the best he could and tried to keep the depression away, so not to scared his daughter or to kill himself so he'd be with his wife.

On her 17th birthday, Ari was happy as ever; she glad to see that her father wasn't was depressed anymore and seemed to be in love with another woman, even though he says that her mother will always have his heart.

On that cold night in January, Ari was out with some friends, she walked, literally, into a guy in a street and as soon as she looked up at him, she found herself not being able to take her eyes away from his own. They had, she thought, looked red at first, but then they seemed to be dark as the night around her. Before Ari could even speak or say anything, the night disappeared away from her and a burning went straight through her.

It felt like years went past when she came to, stirring and staring up at a ceiling above her, it all looking so much clearer than it had never before. Ari freaked out a little bit, as she felt a hunger about her that was new; she immediately looked towards the stranger she had ran into and saw him staring down at her. She had come to learn that his name was Thomas Swift, a vampire and he made her one as well. He didn't explain why he did what he did and Ari was so mad that she wanted to kill him, though he was already dead.

Ari eventually got over her hatred towards Thomas and became a part of his families Clan; being a hand maid to one of the twins, Madeleine. Now, it's been years, decades to have passed and over those decades, Ari had come to find Thomas' scent to be very alluring and she couldn't resist herself to tell him so; she has yet to ask him again why he ever changed her, but she eventually will and hope that he tells her the truth.

Sample post:

Even though the sun shone brightly down upon everything outside, there was still a bit of a chill to the air from the autumn season starting to creep it's way around Hogwarts. Lily shrugged a bit more in her cloak, knowing she should of just stayed in the great hall for the rest of her free time or even went to the library to study or even to the common room. But, today, Lily felt the need to just not worry about her studies or her homework for the time that she had between her classes. The young witch felt that she just needed to let her brain rest for at least a little bit once in a while and just allow utter silence to fill her head.

As the girl made her way across the courtyard, she found an empty stone bench and took a seat upon it, her green eyes glancing around her. When Lily looked back towards the castle itself, a smile began to form across her lips as she remembered getting her letter from Hogwarts. For the little girl to have finally found a place where there were other people just like her, even ones that didn't come from a family of wizards. Though, still to this day, it amazed Lily that she was the one in her family that had the magic within her. All through her childhood she knew she was different from the other kids. The girl could sense the magic in her, as if it literally flew right through her veins.

Lily continued to stare towards the castle, remembering the first time she had ever met Severus Snape. A young boy that had literally told the girl that she was a witch. Of course, then Lily had taken offensive to him calling her that, but now..it all just seemed funny. And the witch could feel the smile spread a bit more across her lips.
