Aminos' Alts

Ariana was born on the 12^th of Sun's Dawn, 2E 562 inside her family’s keep, second child, first daughter to a lesser House. Their keep stands on the northern border of the Kingdom of Daggerfalls holdings, sitting on the southern edge of the Daenia woods, along the western coast. She was only six when Ranser's War erupted, beginning the common situation of her, her mother, and the keeps servants being the only one's on the Estate, and governing the family's land. During the long periods of time where she sat alone as a child, she'd read her father's manuscripts and books on arcane practices, picking up illusion, primarily with the purpose of performing tricks on others for her own amusement. As she grew older, and her father was home more often, she'd learn trade, finances, and politics. However, it was constantly clear that her older brother would be the one to take the head of the household when her father passed.

She took to the Mage's Guild in her teens, and also took to watching the Wyresses when she could find them, intrigued about their ties to nature and their magic. She'd pick up alchemy, helping the commoners living on their family's land with their ailments. This interaction with the commoners as a healer may be the only thing truly grounding her in her life.

Ariana arrived in Cormount after her brother, intending to find him to return him back to the family estate. Instead, she found him living with his new bosmeri partner. To entertain herself in the unsavory jungle of Cormount, she'd attempt to be her usual socialite, flirting and drinking without consequence. This of course, did not happen, being punched by a woman for kissing her lover, and again being choked out by the local Marshal after insulting her. She left Cormount in tears.

Ariana then spent some of her time among House Mormont, looking through library in search of knowledge surrounding Reach magic. When their house fell from grace due to some unforeseen circumstance, she returned to her fathers estate.
