## Biography

### Early life

Ariana Vega was born on 2007 in Detroit, Michigan and is a middle child from a rich family. She has an older sister who got married right after high school and a younger baby half-sister. Her mother died when Ariana was eight and her father owns a real estate. As Ariana got into high school, she became a popular girl where she is mean, dumb and self centered. However, she is truly a nerd wearing glasses revealing her true nature and her status goes down when her secret was exposed where her classmates started making fun of her.

Then one night after a football game, she got gang raped and brutally beaten by a couple of boys and was dying when Mordecai Coleman, Jalen Long, Eden Love, Sophia Faye and Cameron Parker kill those boys and Jalen changes her into a vampire. When Ariana wakes up from her transformation, she joins their coven, who have all been mistreated in their human lives, where they stop any humans mistreating others, while developing a crush on Jalen which he never returns due to how annoying he gets from her advances. During her time with them, Ariana discovers her gift to receive the answer she needs due to how intelligent she is as a human.

In 2024, they met William Heart who rescued a nun, who died after, out of a burning church caused by some business men who about to kill William until Ariana and the others came in. After killing them, Jalen changed William. Three months later, they saw Steve and his assistant Spike who knows about the existence of vampires and Ariana and the coven kept themselves hidden around them since then. Four months after that, they encountered Zoran, Barry, Max, Dawn and Virgil who love to cause trouble and the coven stop them at all cost continuing to do so whenever they run into them.

### *Value In Beliefs*

In 2025, Ariana and the coven continue their lives with their beliefs about humans. One afternoon, Sophia picked up danger from Zoran's coven attacking a group of vampires and a werewolf that are protecting humans (turning out to be half-human half-vampire hybrids). Ariana and the coven came where she and Jalen fights off Dawn and chased Zoran's coven away and introduce themselves to the Cullens who were the ones in danger from Zoran's coven. The Cullens then realized that one of their family members Tiffany Stewart isn't with them who took off thinking Jalen and his friends are part of Zoran's coven and took off hoping to get their attention. Mordecai orders Jalen to find her and Jalen took off while Ariana was distracted on her looks until she notices that Jalen’s gone and complains that he’s her boyfriend causing the coven to complain that it’s not true.

While Jalen went to look for Tiffany, the Detroit coven were with the Cullens where both covens were almost in a fight due to Mordecai insulting Renesmee Cullen and Lucina Stewart for their human traits after questioning the Cullens living with humans when Edward and Carlisle Cullen  separated them where Ariana is seen standing back and watches and the Cullens left the coven.

Awhile after the near fight with the Cullens, Ariana and the others came across a house on fire and two kids are inside. Just when they were about to leave to the fact that their actions will be misinterpreted and to avoid being burned from the flames, they saw Lucas Stone and Edward go inside and came out alive and rescued the children successfully where Ariana shows her appreciation of their actions. Mordecai offers the Cullens to stay at their place and when they arrived, they saw Jalen making out with Tiffany causing Ariana to be jealous of Jalen’s feelings for Tiffany almost leading the latter and her into a fight. Tiffany and Jalen went outside after an argument between Jalen and Mordecai when Tiffany was chased by Steve and Spike who believed they've finally found a vampire. The Olympic and Detroit coven came up with a plan with help from Ariana’s answer talker ability to make Steve and Spike believe they were hallucinating about vampires and Ariana took her part as "back from the dead" and the covens scared off Steve and Spike. However, Jalen tells Tiffany that what's happening between them won't work as Ariana was seen hugging Jalen happily which he actually returns resulting Tiffany to be hurt as she took off. After unsuccessfully finding Tiffany, Mordecai offers the Cullens the way to the airport for them to return home.

After Mordecai returns from assisting the Cullens, Ariana, believing that Jalen has finally returned her romantic feelings for him, asks him out only for Jalen to tell her that he never had any feelings for her as instead his feelings are for Tiffany stating he’s in love with her. Even though Ariana was crushed of Jalen’s rejection, she respected his choice to leave the coven and says goodbye to him where she wishes him luck with him and Tiffany as Jalen leaves for Forks, Washington where he joins the Cullens and became Tiffany’s mate.

### *Have A Purpose*

Ariana and the Detroit coven were invited to Jalen and Tiffany's wedding. They attended the ceremony where Mordecai meets the leader of the Denali coven, the Cullen's other family that also survive on animal blood, Tanya where he developed romantic feelings for her and vice versa for Tanya. During that, Jalen was surprised of Ariana’s behavior where she was accepting Jalen’s choice of marrying Tiffany. After the wedding, Tanya invites the Detroit coven to the Denali's home in Alaska to learn more about each other and has since then been living together due to Mordecai and Tanya's relationship as they became mates with Ariana changing her diet. During the winter holidays, the two coven runs into Elena Margaret and her husband Asher Pennington. Elena was Jalen's foster sister who Jalen was framed for raping her. She makes the coven promise not to tell Jalen as she is trying to get him to remember her. At the end of the story, Ariana and the two covens returned to Forks to attend Jalen's high school graduation as he and Ariana and the rest of the Detroit coven reunite.

### *Long Live Life*

The coven received word about mysterious metal vampires attacking and hears about them as vampires that were supposed to be dead and those that are alive today and are gifted. Metal vampires then attacked their city in Alaska and Eleazar, Kate, Eden and William followed them. However, they were taken and fallen under the control of a half-human half-vampire hybrid Skai using the sword called IL Mietitore Capacità and Skai attacked the rest of the coven taking Ariana along with Sophia. However, Skai was defeated by the Cullens and the sword was destroyed releasing the captured Detroit coven from his control.
