== History ==
Aria Mirren was born in Beaumont, Texas on August 29, 1973 to the last surviving member of the Mirren Pack, Zachary Mirren and his humn wife Elizabeth. He hid what he was from the outside world, since they all knew of Seana Kane killing their family. Somehow though, Seana got word of where he was living in Beaumont, Texas and traced him. Upon finding him, at first she thought it was a mistake, given how human his wife and daughter seemed. But after tailing him she discovered his secret. When Aria was 10, Seana came into their home after she compelled her mother to invite her in. Seana brutally killed her father right in front of Aria and her mother. Seana then knelt in front of the young Aria and said to enjoy the rest of her childhood, because she would end her life one day, and then left. Since then, she was left to be raised by her mother and her grandparents. They knew what her husband was and did everything they could to help Aria when she first shifted. She graduated from high school in 1989, then later stated college in New York, where she met Laura Pearson in early 1994, who was a freshman while she was a senior. She came home with Laura for spring break in 1994, and the two happened to meet Samuel and Markus. Finally seeing others that were like her, she decided to join their pack. They briefly lived in her hometown with her mother, where they gave birth to a son, whom she named after her late father. They moved back to Seaside around 1998 to be near Markus's family and build up their pack. They eventually allied with the Hathaway Coven and nearby packs to strengthen the pack.

== Personality ==
Aria was very loyal and brave, always defending anyone against danger. According to Laura who was a close friend, mentioned her to be very kind and caring. Her relationship with her husband Markus was very loving and close, and after she had passed, he was never the same. She had a very close bond with her son Zachary, and she taught him to always be kind to others, and loyal to his family and friends, and always fight to protect loved ones. However, when provoked in battle, she could be very deadly. It was not shown that Aria had a severe werewolf temper, since most shown, have very bad tempers, she seemed to use this anger in battle, but not when she was in a normal situation. Unlike most werewolves, she did not seem to have a hatred of vampires, but only those who posed a threat to her family. 
== Appearance ==
In the beginning of Darkness Descending, Aria was described as having dark brown eyes, a kind smile, and was around 5'3". . As a werewolf, she would of mostly had an athletic figure, since werewolves were very strong and active, as she was a very capable fighter, going head on with Seana Kane, but she ultimately lost. 
== Abilities ==
Aria possessed all of the abilities of a pure-blood werewolf. 
* Super Strength - Werewolves are much stronger than any human. They are not as strong as a vampire whilst in human form but when it is a full moon they are more powerful than vampires.
* Super Speed - Werewolves are extremely faster than any human. Werewolves can use this ability in either Human or wolf form. 
* Super Agility - Werewolves possess superhuman agility. They can move, jump, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion.
* Super Durability - Werewolves can take far more trauma than Humans can without much discomfort or injury. They can also exert themselves without much tire.
* Healing Factor - Werewolves possess superhuman regenerative abilities, meaning if ever injured, their bodies will heal near-instantaneously. Like vampires, werewolves heal instantly from damage, and have been commented to heal just as fast as them. However, not every werewolf heals as fast. Unlike vampires, when a werewolf’s neck is broken, they stay dead.
* Super Senses - Werewolves have the extremely keen senses of smell, sight, taste, and hearing inherent in all canines. 
* Ability to turn into a wolf on command - Pure-blooded-werewolves can turn into werewolves whenever they desire, unlike half-blooded wolves, who are bitten, that can only fully phase on a full moon, against their will.
