**Via Adoption:**

* Charlie Parker (Adoptive Father)
* Annabelle Parker (Adoptive Mother)

Your dad just asked if this was a love letter. I guess it kind of is. 'I never got to know my mother. I have no idea what she must have felt when she carried me. So I thought I'd write to you, so that you could know how happy I am at this very moment. How much your father and I can't wait to meet you. And I want to make you a promise, three things you will have that I never did. A safe home. Someone to tell you that they love you every single day. And someone to fight for you, no matter what. In other words, a family. So there you go, baby girl.
If you’re reading this letter, our protection from your older brother Cassian has failed, we entrusted you to my best friend Serafina, she told me that you’re going to be loved and care for, so I’m not worried but while I’m writing this you’re inside my belly and I’m scared what will your brother do, if he finds you, but I know that Serafina wouldn’t do anything to you because she’s your Godmother, just remember your brother is planning something, we can’t know what but we know that it will have to do with your divine powers and the Dragon Flame, he wants it all of it. Just like our ancestor Connor wanted Athena’s divine powers. Don’t let him have it, if he does he will let you and Meridian burn, if you give Cassian your divine powers and The Dragon Flame, We did everything to protect you, we put you with your godmother to protect you from your brother. I’m sorry that I know I wasn't a good mother to Cassian, after your step-father Jackson died.
I love you, Your Mom.

## Early History

Anastasia Salvatore was born in Alicante, Meridian on June 6, 1991, into the Salvatore Family. The Salvatore family is one of the two royal families which ruled the Crescent Wolf Clan, which itself ran the Quarter. Shortly after her birth her parents were killed by her own people, later revealed to be Jackson's grandfather. Marcel Gerard (the leader of the vampires and an acquaintance of her parents) found her in her cradle. He took her, protecting her (following his rules about kids). When he asked a witch, Christian Deveraux to curse the Crescent Clan to stop them he spared Ariana to give her a better start in life.

Ariana is adopted by another family, unaware of her past and her werewolf gene. She triggered the werewolf curse when she was drunk on a boat trip and accidentally killed someone. She transformed for the first time in her adoptive parents' living room; after wreaking havoc on their house, they send her to see a werewolf therapist to understand what exactly she is.

Ariana had been on her own since then, occasionally joining up with wolf packs but never staying anywhere for too long. She has a mark on her back which looks like a crescent moon which she had assumed is just a birthmark and thought nothing more of it.

## Early life In Meridian

### 2023

Ariana sets off to find Tyler when she hears from one of Christopher' hybrids, who was from a pack she used to run with, talking about protecting him, She surprises Tyler when she shows up at his house unannounced, something which Tyler is clearly happy about. While they talk, Ariana mentions helping Tyler break his sire bond. She chastises him for lying about his real identity; apparently he had told her he lived in a trailer park in Florida. Ariana seems annoyed by this, but quickly forgives him.

When Caroline shows up and Tyler leaves the room to talk to her, Ariana meets Christopher who appears to talk to her. Christopher overhears Tyler and Caroline's conversation and Tyler makes an excuse about staying home, not mentioning Ariana. Christopher assumes that Tyler and Ariana had a fling, which Ariana does not deny. When Tyler comes back, he finds Ariana has gone and Christopher tells him she left. Christopher then speculates that Tyler and Ariana may have hooked up, although that hasn't been confirmed. Tyler only let Christopher believe something happened between them to distract him from Tyler's plan to break the sire bonds of the other hybrids.

Ariana eavesdrops on a conversation between Tyler and Dean when Caroline shows up and meets Ariana. Ariana tells Caroline she's been staying with Tyler since she needs a place to stay, and that they're good friends. Caroline is clearly irritated that a strange girl is staying in her boyfriend's house when she knew nothing about it, but Ariana doesn't seem bothered by Caroline's irritation. Ariana excuses herself to join Tyler and Dean's argument about whether Dean should obey Christopher' order to deal with Connor or not. After Dean's death, Tyler comforts Ariana which again, irritates Caroline. Tyler later explains that he and Ariana plan to help all of Christopher's hybrids break the sire bond.

Tyler finds Ariana, Chris and some other hybrids drinking in honor of Dean. Ariana keeps up the ruse that there is something romantic going on between her and Tyler by sensually wiping alcohol from Tyler's lip, knowing Christopher is witnessing it. Soon after, Caroline arrives and stages a breakup with Tyler in front of Christopher, after which he leaves with the hybrids. Once Christopher is gone, Ariana, Tyler and Caroline smile at one another, and Caroline thanks Ariana for telling her that Christopher was there. Ariana watches Tyler and Caroline kiss, smiling slightly. Later, Tyler tells Spencer about Ariana and that she helped him and Chris break their sire bonds, also revealing that they plan on unsiring all the hybrids from Christopher.

That night, when Chris is about to leave Tyler's house, Christopher appears and berates Chris for failing to keep Ariana secured. Tyler tries to cover for him, but Ariana intervenes to claim that she let Ariana out and stands up to Christopher, daring him to kill her instead. Christopher apparently lets Chris go, but when Jeremy and Spencer arrive Christopher allows Jeremy to chop off Chris' head while Ariana and Tyler watch in horror. After Chris's death, Ariana is passed out the next morning next to Tyler on a sofa; they had clearly spent the entire night drinking in honor of Chris. After Caroline and Tyler argue she is abruptly awakened when Tyler throws a glass bottle and it explodes against the wall.

Ariana is in an abandoned barn helping Kimberley break her sire bond when Tyler arrives, saying Caroline got them another day by agreeing to go with Klaus to the Miss Alicnate Pageant. Ariana suggests that they go to keep up the ruse that she is the reason Caroline and Tyler broke up, and Tyler reluctantly agrees. Caroline and Klaus see Ariana and Tyler arrive, which seems to upset Caroline. Ariana mocks the pageant by donning the tiara intended for the winner. Later, Max and Tyler see Ariana talking to Shane and Max wonders aloud how he knows her. Tyler assures him she doesn't, but Max's suspicion seems to plant doubt in Tyler's mind.

Later, when Tyler is sitting with Ariana, she asks if he got the wolf gene from his mother, claiming his mother knows how to party as she is seen drinking a lot and doesn't appear too drunk. He tells her he got the gene from his dad and asks her about her parents. She tells him she never knew her real parents and that she triggered the gene by accidentally killing someone in a boating accident while she was drunk. Tyler subtly asks if she knows Shane, but she claims she doesn't.
Later that night, after Tyler calls Ariana to tell her that Kimberley broke the sire bond, Ariana is in Shane's office and tells him they freed another one. She emphasizes that she doesn't want Tyler to have anything to do with whatever they are planning.

When Ariana is helping Adrian break the sire bond, Kimberley interferes and frees him before they finish. Later, she breaks into Shane's office, and when he arrives she reveals that her deal with Shane was to get him twelve hybrids, unsired from Klaus, in exchange for information about her parents. Shane threatens to include Tyler in the twelve if she doesn't manage to break Adrian's sire bond so Ariana encourages Tyler to take the role of Alpha and give Adrian orders to go through with it. He follows her advice, but Kimberley retaliates by kidnapping and torturing Caroline. Later, after Tyler has forced the hybrids to submit to him and Adrian has finally broken his sire bond, Ariana reports to Shane that they have their twelve hybrids. In return, Shane gives her a flash drive with information about her parents, informing her that they are dead but reassuring her that she can see them again. He cryptically tells her that its far from over and that they are just the beginning.

During the Winter Wonderland charity event, Tyler tells Caroline that Ariana has found a powerful witch who can use a spell to transport Christopher into someone else's body. When he reveals that he has volunteered to house Christopher's essence and be buried in concrete, Caroline, after much tension with Tyler and the hybrids, eventually has the idea that they should use Amelia's body instead. Worried about changing the plan, Ariana texts Shane about having problems, but he merely tells her to fix it. Ariana then snaps Caroline's neck, and tells Christopher about Tyler's plan. While Christopher is killing Tyler's pack, Ariana explains to Tyler that she made a deal with someone who can help her find her real family, and that her end of the bargain was to provide twelve unsired hybrids for the sacrifice. She warns Tyler that he should leave town to escape Christopher's wrath. She then flees herself.
Ariana's whereabouts were unknown until Vaughn, a hunter, reveals to Max and Amelia that Ariana got her information about Silas from Ariana when they crossed paths in New Orleans.
She tells Christopher that Ariana found her in New Orleans when she was trying to find her real parents and Ariana told Ariana she could help her. Christopher claims that he is the only one who can protect Ariana from Ariana's minions, and says that he will as long as she co-operates with him.

Ariana goes into the next room and looks at Christopher' paintings, expressing distaste for all but one, which she describes as twisted. She asks Christopher why he paints and in response he describes painting as a metaphor for control. Ariana calls him out on his attempts to soften her up before mentioning Christopher' plans to kill Tyler. Christopher assures her that the better punishment is sentencing Tyler to a lifetime of paranoia and fear. Ariana then reveals to Christopher that the reason he has been unable to find Ariana all these centuries has been her ability to build and maintain a network of allies willing to do anything for her. Christopher asks Ariana if she knows any of Ariana's allies, and she responds teasingly that she might know a couple and she might even tell him about them. Later, after Max has killed Will, Christopher offers to let Ariana stay anyway. She suggests a deal: her intel in exchange for Tyler's freedom, but Christopher cannot bring himself to make any promises when it comes to Tyler. Ariana draws him back in by returning to what he said about his paintings and control, and tacitly offers him control with her. He takes the bait and they have sex. Afterwards, while Ariana is dressing, Christopher notices a mark on Ariana's back which, according to him, is only found on those of a certain bloodline of werewolves originating in Louisiana.

Ariana leaves Alicante Katherine tells Spencer and Max that thanks to Ariana, she was what they needed to rid Christopher from their lives for good. In New Orleans, Ariana is told by Jane-Anne that in the bayou the wolves were named "Roux-Ga-Roux", Jane-Anne shows her an area on a map to go saying it'll give her what she's looking for. Ariana heads towards the area while Jane-Anne and Sophie prepare to do a spell on her. While Jane-Anne does the spell, Ariana's car acts up and weird things happen to her, when seeing other people come to her she passes out with Sophie and the other witches of the Quarter circling her. Later it is revealed by Brandon and Sophie that she is pregnant with Christopher's child.

### 2023/2024

Sophie tells Brandon about Ariana and her pregnancy, and she has her coven bring her out to Brandon. Brandon asks for a moment alone with Ariana where he then explains his family's past; how they were turned into vampires and Christopher turned out to be a Hybrid. Later on, Brandon finds Christopher and learns about the baby and Christopher still isn't agreeing to cooperate. Sophie reveals more details about the spell Jane-Anne had cast before Marcel killed her. In reality, it had tied Sophie's life to Ariana's and Sophie demonstrates this by cutting her finger and Ariana immediately has the Amelia wound. After finally convincing Christopher to agree to help Sophie, Brandon has Sophie and her coven release Ariana to him by giving them Jane-Anne's body. After taking her to their old home, Brandon promises to always protect Ariana and the baby.

Ariana is first seen heading down the stairs of their home with a fire poker in her hand, after hearing a woman enter. She soon meets Amelia, who at first thought she was the maid, and asks her to fetch her bags from the car. Ariana soon corrects her and quickly tells her she has her brother's manners. Amelia demands where Brandon is, and Ariana looks pensive as she reveals after he promised to protect her, he just left suddenly, unaware he was neutralized by Jackson. Amelia however knows something is wrong as Brandon would never leave like that and begins shouting insults towards Christopher. After Amelia and Christopher argue over Christopher' "friendship" with Marcel and Brandon's sudden disappearance, Ariana is seen sitting upon the stairs, seemingly watching and listening to the two siblings arguing. Amelia tells her that she is going to help her look for her "good brother", Brandon. As they walk down the spiral staircase and into the basement, they see the coffins Christopher keeps. Amelia tells her the purpose of the coffins and the daggersand Ariana seems shocked to find out he keeps a coffin on stand-by for Amelia in case she "disappoints" him. Amelia warns her she should've left the moment Brandon disappeared and Ariana responds that she can't as she isn't able to leave Alicante due to the spell binding her to Sophie. Once Amelia tells her that Christopher is probably planning to have a coffin for her once she gives birth and gives her advice to break the hex and leave, Ariana stays still, stunned and seriously considering Amelia's words. Ariana is next seen in the quarter, running across the road to the Jardin Gris in order to buy a herb. She tells the witch she needs "crushed aconite flower". Katie is shocked that she wants wolfsbane and asks if she is going to poison a wolf. Ariana looks down and quickly admits "just a little one". Katie gives her the herb, refuses the money and tells her she is doing the right thing. As Ariana leaves, Katie calls one of Marcel's vampires and tells them there is a werewolf in the quarter. Ariana is seated on a bench, dropping a few drops of wolfsbane into her tea and she encourages herself to drink it, "One upset stomach and all this stupid drama is ancient history". Rustling is heard behind her and she stands, turns and is suddenly startled by a vampire. The vampire hisses it was a bad move coming to the quarter- as werewolves were chased away by Marcel- and she huffs she is sick and tired of vampire's telling her what to do before throwing the cup into his face. He screams in pain and turns around, to be confronted by two more vampires. As they are about to approach, one's neck is snapped and another's heart is ripped from his chest. Ariana looks up surprised to see Amelia who tells the corpse that is no way to treat a pregnant lady. Back at the house, Christopher has returned and is berating Amelia and Ariana for their actions, wondering why exactly Ariana was in the quarter in the first place. Ariana tells the truth and snarls she was getting poison to put their child out of it's misery. Christopher immediately snaps forward and begins to choke her against the door. Amelia pulls him off her and tells him straight that he says he doesn't care, then the moment anyone thinks of harming the child, he clearly does. Ariana is soon seen walking outside and sits upon a chair next to Amelia. She thanks her for saving her before against Christopher and the vampires. Amelia says "us girls have to look out for each other". Ariana asks what it is about her and Christopher' relationship; she has noticed that they say they hate each other, yet even when they do, it is clear they still love each other. Amelia then flashes back to the 1800's, where she and Marcel finally gave into one another. Christopher found them and threatened Marcel, neutralizing Amelia in the process. Ariana asks if she knows where Brandon is and why she can't find him to which Amelia responds about Christopher' daggers, she doesn't want to end back up in a box. Ariana hesitates for a moment before reaching down and pulling up a bag, unraveling it and revealing the three daggers, telling her she found them underneath "Amelia's coffin" and tells her to find Brandon. The next morning, Christopher wanders into Ariana's room whilst she is supposedly sleeping; he reaches into her back and sniffs the vial of wolfsbane. Ariana points out that she didn't use it and Christopher wants to know why, as she could've been free from their predicament. Ariana admits that when those vampires attacked her, she realized that she wasn't only fighting for herself, that after she didn't have a real upbringing with her adoptive parents, she doesn't want the Amelia for her child and wouldn't let anybody hurt it. Christopher tells her they are very much alike, before saying they are backed into a corner and have to fight. Ariana lastly asks about what happened with him and Marcel, as they were once like father and son.

Ariana asks Christopher and Amelia what is the plan to overtake Marcel. Christopher tells her she needs to stay in the house for her own safety since Marcel still knows there's a rogue werewolf out who killed his nightwalkers. At night by the pool she sees a wolf, but Sabine comes and offers Ariana to find out the gender of the baby. Ariana finds it's going be a girl and Sabine goes into psychic fit chatting in a strange language. Ariana attempts to translate it on Google, but doesn't find anything. While the audience is informed that the baby will kill the witches in the future which puts a plan in motion to make that never happens.

Agnes convinces Ariana to see OB/GYN in the Bayou. During the consultation Ariana learns that her daughter is healthy and Ariana notices that she knew it and that her daughter is already like her. At the end of the consultation Ariana hears a wolf and understands that Agnes leads an ambush against her. Ariana manages to escape and kill witches who want to kill her and her baby. But they are shot in the chest and at her awakening Amelia can't find Ariana. She calls Christopher and both look for her. When they find her she is completely healed - healed by her baby and Christopher takes her home after having sworn to slaughter all the witches. She goes into the bayou with Sophie and Amelia to find answers about the guardian wolf and mostly because she's tired of being cooped up in the house. However, she finds out nothing.

Brandon decides to unlink Ariana (and the baby) and Sophie and gives Natalie one of his mother's spells to do it. However before Natalie could, Agnes injects Sophie with the Needle of Sorrows, which will kill Ariana's child in utero by raising her temperature. Under Amelia's care Ariana feels that something wrong and begins to be ill. While Christopher goes to find Agnes, Brandon manages to keep her temperature down by holding her against him in the swimming pool as Sophie makes a potion and gives it to Ariana until Natalie unlinks them and the effects of the needle cease, saving Ariana of losing her child. Brandon then joins Christopher to kill Agnes and during Amelia, Brandon and Christopher' absence Ariana meets (again) Marcel Gerard who comes to their home. When Christopher and Brandon back home they do not find Ariana.

It's revealed that it is Tyler who kidnapped Ariana because one of his witch acquaintance's nightmare about the baby and because he wants revenge. Tyler uses the blood of Ariana and her baby to transform a werewolf, Dwayne, into a hybrid. He then tells to Ariana that Christopher will use the baby blood to reform a hybrid army and he has to till the baby before. Ariana howls and begs Tyler to spare her daughter and to help her to hide the baby from Christopher. At this time Dwayne comes backs and order to Tyler to get away from Ariana and the baby. Ariana tells to him to stop Tyler what he does but he is killed by him. It gives time to Ariana to escape and she is found by Brandon with whom she confronts Christopher about what Tyler said. Christopher, hurt, bites Brandon and leaves them before that Ariana discovers a bible which someone left for her to find and in this bible is Ariana's family tree. Through this family tree Ariana discovers that her birth name is Anastasia Salvatore.

Ariana is seen to be taking care of a sick Brandon, who was bitten by Christopher in the previous episode. She refuses to leave his side as his hallucinations start to get the better of him. When Brandon tries to kill Ariana, she is saved by the mysterious woman who had been following her. Ariana follows her and learns that her mysterious savior's name is Eve and she is part of the Ariae werewolf bloodline as Ariana. Eve tells Ariana about how their pack was killed by Marcel and the surviving descendants were cursed to be in their werewolf forms for most of the time, and only turn into their human forms on the night of a full moon. Later Christopher forces her to move with him to The Abattoir after his falling out with his siblings over their betrayals, and now states that his child is the only thing that matters to him.

Ariana attends a banquet with Christopher, Marcel and other vampires, at which Christopher orders the vampires to kill the werewolves in the bayou, her family, much to her protest. Brandon and Amelia come to take her away from Christopher but she insists that they save the werewolves in danger. Ariana meets Natalie and Josh for the first time and she suggests that they work together. Ariana then confronts Christopher about him ordering the killing of her family. Christopher points out that they have not been any good for her, that they abandoned her and that he is trying to keep her safe; by killing the werewolves the vampires will have less desire to kill her. Ariana does not get an answer from Christopher about what will happen to her after the baby is born, so she claims its lucky for her that she has a while before she finds out and that she will pay him back. Ariana visits Natalie again and is friendly until Natalie accuses her of lying and that she is using her because she wants something from her. Ariana admits that she knows Natalie could help her figure out and resolve the loophole of the curse on her family, but she would ask her, not lie to her for help. Brandon appears on a balcony where Ariana is and confirms that her family is safe, Ariana thanks him and hugs him affectionately. They almost kiss but Brandon says that he should go.

Ariana tries on a dress and Brandon helps zip it up. Ariana expresses her current state to him, saying she's knocked up and has nowhere to go. Brandon unzips her dress at her request because she does not want to ruin his and Christopher' relationship anymore than it is. Later, Ariana receives a phone call from Sophie who convinces her to help find Céleste's remains and in return, Sophie promises to undo the curse Marcel put upon her family. Ariana looks through Brandon's journals and discovers the area where he had buried Céleste and reveals the location to Sophie. When Brandon returned home, he put together some of Natalie's sketches which had formed a picture of Céleste, foreshadowing that something sinister involving Céleste will happen. Ariana leaves the room realizing she was the cause of this, makes an anxious phone call to Sophie who does not pick up.

Ariana meets Brandon who is on his way to meet Sophie. Brandon says that she doesn't need to eavesdrop because he doesn't hide anything from her. Ariana says that she doesn't want to keep things from him either and if he is about to see Sophie then he should know something important. She confesses to him that she read his journals to find Celeste's body, because Sophie could help her family with their curse. Brandon is hurt and blames her for not only violating his privacy but also for breaking his promise for him. Upset about his rift with Brandon she tries to help the werewolves who don't have a place to go and hide from Natalie's releasing power. Christopher forbids her to go to the bayou because it is too dangerous out there and then asks her to go with him. Christopher takes Ariana to the church to show her that he is already helping the werewolves, because they are his clan to and then advises her to just apologize to Brandon so she could fix their relationship. Later she is at Sophia's funeral so they could make her child New Orleans witch and get Esters power to the baby. After the harvest fails she is walking with Brandon and asks for his forgiveness and they almost kiss, but Brandon breaks away and leaves.

Ariana is first seen when she is looking Natalie's drawings about Celeste, hoping to find out why she drew them. Brandon comes to check on her to make sure that she is safe from the witches who are killing to get the power. Ariana asks why he has been avoiding her so it takes some supernatural threat to make him see her. They are both sad because their relationship would be a problem for Christopher. When Brandon discovers that Amelia is missing they are going to find her. When they find Amelia they need Ariana's blood to break the spell so they could get her body so Brandon bites her. When she is seen she is looking for Brandon in the crowd, but Brandon doesn't show himself to him, because Amelia blamed him for his feelings for Ariana.

Amelia takes Ariana to the plantation house to keep her safe from witches. When they arrive she informs Amelia that she is going to host a party and invite the crescent werewolves, since it is the full moon, the wolves will turn human for the night and she would be able to connect with her family. She meets Jackson, the wolf who has been watching her and protecting her. She learns that Jackson was from the Ariae people like her parents but not from the Ariae bloodline, and they wanted to make an arranged marriage between Ariana and Jackson. Jackson tells her that New Orleans was their city until the vampires took it from them and if their families would have been together they would have won the city back. The werewolves decided to bring the to crescent clans back together by their marriage. As Ariana is the last one of her bloodline, Jackson shares his belief that Ariana is the one who will break the curse from his pack, but then they discover that it was false information from witches who just wanted to trap them. Ariana calls Brandon to inform him that the witches are up to something. Before Ariana is able to escape she is trapped in the burning house with Jackson. But Brandon comes and rescues her and Jackson as he leaves her to find Amelia. Before Jackson goes back to his wolf form, she promises him that she will find a way to break the curse. At the end of the episode she is back the Abattoir with Brandon and seems worried about him who is very angry after his siblings go missing.
Ariana with Marcel helps Brandon to find Christopher and Amelia, prisoners of the newly resurrected witches and ends up to knock out and kidnap Celeste in hopes of breaking the werewolf curse.

Ariana holds Céleste captive in the bayou. With help from Eve and the crescent werewolves in their wolf forms, she threatens the witch into giving her the cure for the curse she placed on the pack. Céleste makes the cure but Brandon arrives and believes it to be another one of her tricks. Ariana tells him that they will hold Céleste until the next full moon and see if she lied or not but Brandon will not risk that because Céleste is too dangerous. When Ariana tells Brandon to either help her or get out of her way, he takes Céleste and the cure from her. However, he later returns with both and tells Ariana that the cure is genuine. Ariana is excited and plans on recovering as many of the turned werewolves in the Bayou as she can find and turn them back.

Ariana was visited by Amelia to say goodbye and told her that even though Christopher is a monster and broken, her little girl will be Christopher' only hope for happiness and she would be surrounded by enemies their family made so Ariana will have to be careful. Ariana said that Amelia can always come back to visit her niece and herself and that they will all hide that from Christopher. Amelia answered that if she can't she wanted Ariana to tell her daughters about "Crazy Auntie Jo" and despite her absence, she loves her very much. Then Amelia leaves New Orleans.

A month has passed and the werewolf curse is broken thanks to Ariana. She watches the Crescent clan fight for pack order and Steven tells her Brandon is planning a new peace treaty, but didn't invite the werewolves. This angers Ariana. She then goes to the summit and tells the factions the werewolves want a place at the table or they will all regret it. Brandon wants her to stay out of it and to return to the compound for her safety and that of her daughter, Ariana however disagrees. Later on Brandon throws a party and invites the werewolves to be a part of the peace treaty. Ariana shares a dance with Brandon and he once again suggests to come back. This clearly upsets her and she wants to know why exactly Brandon wants her to come back. Jackson interrupts them and Ariana continues the dance with him. He tells her Brandon should have told her how beautiful she looks instead of discussing the future of the city. Later at the party Diego and Steven fight. Brandon intervenes and is about to kill Steven when Ariana steps in and says that he should go ahead and kill Steven. She doesn't see the point of making a peace treaty, if all the everybody can't learn to live together and can't see that they have all made mistakes. Brandon then lets Steven go. She's seen with all the other factions signing the peace treaty.

Ariana is freaked out by a large number of werewolves that have come to witness her miracle pregnancy. When Brandon asks for the werewolves to come to the feast of the blessings she declines. Jackson and Steven however think that it's a good idea. When Brandon is alone with her he tells her that went far too easy and that she shouldn't trust any of them. Later on, Ariana finds Jackson and Steven talking but they stop as soon as they see her. She asks if this is still high school and Steven tells her she should mind her own business. She then grabs Steven's arm and holds him against the wall and tells him since this is her pack it's her business as well. Jackson thinks that she deserves to know and he tells her that they have made an alliance with Christopher. Later at the feast of the blessings, Ariana shows up as the representative of the werewolves and wants to give a gift to Natalie but she had to give it to Juliette. Christopher finds her at the feast and tells her that it's very bold of her to come to the feast on her own and he's impressed that she managed to find out what his deal with the werewolves is. She asks him if he really plans to go behind Brandon's back. He responds that it shouldn't matter to her as long as her people benefit from it. She makes it clear that she won't allow him to do anything wrong to her people. He says that he knew she was tough and cunning, but he never knew she was a queen.

At the feast a group of men appears, they bring a mesDarcy from Marcel and they cut their wrist. The vampires struggle to control themselves and when the lights are turned out they attack the people at the feast. In doing so they violated the treaty. When the lights are turned on again Ariana panics and calls for Brandon. Christopher stares at them and walks away. Back at the Bayou Ariana tells Jackson that she agrees with his plan. At first, she was against it and wanted to follow Brandon's treaty. The events at the feast however made it clear to her that the weak will always be at the mercy of whoever is calling the shots. Jackson tells her they have to protect each other. Ariana agrees but she tells him that Christopher is not to be trusted and that they should use his help now that he is still willing to give it. When Ariana, Jackson and a few other werewolves are sitting at a campfire she feels her baby kick for the first time on screen. She puts Jackson's hand on her belly so that he can feel it too. In the meantime Brandon is watching her from a distance. Eve is standing besides him and he tells her that all he wants is for Ariana to be happy.

Ariana is doing some breathing exercises with Eve. Ariana would rather give birth in a hospital with the aid of drugs, but Eve reassures her that werewolves have been giving birth in the Bayou since before she was born. Ariana is afraid of becoming a mother. She doesn't know what it's like to have a mother, let alone be one. Eve tells her that when the time comes she'll know what to do. Ariana thinks she'll have to do it all alone, but Eve doubts that and then Brandon walks in. He wants to talk with the werewolves about their alliance with Christopher. Brandon tries to convince Jackson and Steven that their alliance with Christopher is a great mistake. He says that there are some in the Quarter who will consider this a great provocation. Steven responds that some think the Ariae of the wolves breathing. Brandon then turns to Ariana. He tells her that she swore to honor the treaty. She tells him the wolves don't want to fight, they just want a better life. Brandon says that an alliance with Christopher will guarantee anything but that. Their conversation is interrupted by the noise of an oncoming motorcycle. The man on the motorcycle wants to know who's in charge and then explodes. Ariana is thrown back by the explosion, but she isn't physically hurt. She tries to help the people that are hurt. Apparently, the gas tank of the motorcycle was filled with wolfsbane so a lot of werewolves are badly injured. She uses a tourniquet on one of the wolves, Eve asks her where she learned that. Ariana responds that she got one hell of an education because she ran away from home when she was 13. Steven suggests that vampires are responsible for this. Ariana agrees and she tells him to stay at the Bayou, while she goes looking for Marcel. While she's driving she calls Brandon, she tells him that she's fine and asks him to take care of the pack. Ariana finds Diego, she pushes him against a wall and is holding a stake against his heart. She asks him where she can find Marcel and if he doesn't tell her he'll die. While she's on her way to Marcel, Ariana calls Christopher and informs him on what happened at the Bayou. She asks him if he wants to help her kick Marcel's ass. Christopher tells her that she will get his undivided attention as soon as he's finished with whatever he's doing. He asks her to stay out of trouble in the meantime. She tells him not to worry. She lies and tells him that Brandon is with her. Marcel knew that Ariana was coming and tells her they need to chat. He tells her that she's tough like her dad. Ariana seems surprised. He tells her that if she had known her parents, she would know just how much enemies they really had. The wolves tried to take over the city in the '90s and so he let a witch put the curse on them. Ariana says that that was very heroic of him. He tells her it was either that or kill them all and he's not a fan of indiscriminate slaughter. He tells her that he has a rule about not hurting kids. And she, as Anastasia Salvatore, is living proof of that. He figured out who she was after the party she had thrown for the werewolves in Crescent City. She asks him if he was the one who killed her parents. He tells her he didn't. There was fighting among the wolves and somebody turned on them. He doesn't know who it was, but by the time he came to her parents they were already dead and he found a baby in a crib. Ariana asks why she should believe him, Marcel tells her she can believe whatever she wants to believe. She was the last Salvatore and that could have been leveraged for the vampires, but instead, he brought her to Father Kieran. He then hands her a bag, it's full of money so she can start over somewhere safe. She asks him why he doesn't leave. He tells her he was born here, she responds that she was also born here. Marcel then tells her that the suicide bomber had a gambling problem, this might lead her to was really behind the explosions in the Bayou. When Ariana comes back to the Bayou she finds out that Eve has died. Brandon tells her that Jackson and the rest of the wolves will need her help. They'll want revenge for what happened. Ariana starts crying when she sees Eve's body.

While she was investigating about Francesca Guerrera's involvement in the Bayou attack Ariana was hexed by Juliette who wanted to kill her child. This leaded Ariana to collapse at Father Kieran's funeral. She was transported to The Other Side where Mikael tries to kill her and her child but she managed to defeat him (more for her daughter than for herself) as Ariana succeeded to bring her back. Then Christopher showed Ariana the nursery he created for their unborn daughter and stated that he would like her to be part of raising their daughter, putting to rest the doubts Ariana had about Christopher wanting to take their baby from her.

In this flashback, Ariana was in her daughter's nursery where she wrote to her a letter. However she was interrupted by Christopher who entered in the baby's room. He joke asked if it was a love letter and asked for whom she wrote it. If it would be to one of her many suitors; Jackson, Brandon or even to himself. Ariana, smiling, said that he has the biggest ego before felt her baby's kick. Christopher came closer and asked "How is our Littlest Wolf today?", nicknaming their daughter in a reference of the nickname that he gave to Ariana. She asked him if he wants to touch her belly and then encouraged him when he hesitated. Finally, still smiling, Christopher did and felt their child he smiled one more time to Ariana and left the room. So she took back her letter to their baby. She tried some name, Zoe, Angela and Caitlin before addressed her letter to "My Letter Girl". She explained to her daughter that her father was here and asked if it was a love letter and that, indeed, is a kind of. She wrote that she never knew her parents so she wrote to her daughter knows she is happy to have her and how she loves her, how she (and Christopher) can't wait to met her. She also promised to her that she will always have a family and that when she will be born she will figure out with her mother.

THe next 20 years she spends in a cell in Cavigor Prison

## Personality

* Werewolf
* Werewolf-Vampire Hybrid

Ariana is described as tough as nails and she can, at times, be protective. She can be somewhat of a tomboy, in that she doesn't buy into the usual expectations held for teenage girls; she scoffs at high school pretenses, doesn't seem to get on well with other girls, and holds her own against her male counterparts. Ariana is at times immature, impulsive and tends to speak before she thinks, which can get her into trouble. She is a highly skilled manipulator with extremely questionable morals, she has proven she is willing to do anything to get what she wants (including betraying those she claims to care about); even at the expense of others' lives. She has went so far as to help orchestrate a mass murder (of 12 hybrids she called friends) for no other reason than to simply get the name of her parents. At times she is shown to value her friends but on the other hand, with only a small amount of remorse, is willing to sacrifice those friends to achieve her ends. Her unstoppable passion to find her biological family suggests an inner vulnerability that she often covers up with provocative or immature remarks and behavior. In her own way she is terrified of Christopher, Ariana tries to hide this but Christopher always manages to see right through her.

Ariana's personality is further explored. Her determination to learn more about where she came from seems to be the reason for her behavior in the past. She has become stronger and more reliable, especially to her fellow werewolves. Her impending motherhood has also made her more tender and dedicated to keeping her child safe. She has also expressed a desire to raise the child alongside Christopher. She is able to handle herself very well despite her delicate state, even holding her own against threats like Mathias.

However, Ariana is also a hypocrite, when she learnt from Tyler that Christopher is (supposedly) that their child's blood can make hybrids, and he plans to use their child's blood once she is born to make an army of hybrids to take over Alicante, as she quickly condemned him for this supposed action of his, however, she once used Tyler for her own selfishness, even if it was to find out where she came from, and who her family is, which indirectly resulted in Tyler's mother's death, as well as ruining his life.

Ariana has a deep hatred for the witches of the Alicante, partly because they used her for their own selfishness, as well as the fact that a member of their coven Céleste Dubois, cursed her pack, and mainly because the witches tried to kill her unborn child.

Ariana was transformed into a hybrid by her daughter's blood. Ariana died shortly after giving birth to her daughter but her daughter's blood was in her system at the time. When she awakes she shows the ability to know where her baby is, even if she is hidden from her by a powerful spell. She is also a very protective mother; it is especially shown in the scene where she kills Sophia, because she tried to kill her daughter, Esme Mikaelson. She puts her daughter's safety and fate before her own needs by giving up her daughter to Sam, even if it breaks her heart.

Ariana's hatred for the witches became worse than ever, partly because of her heightened emotions, and mainly because they tried to kill her newborn daughter.

Ariana goes on a rampage against those for making her give up Esme. She goes down a dark path, becoming ruthless, cold, and cruel. She shows herself with power and will be trying to find out who she is now. Ariana will have a tough time with what she is now as she never wanted to be a vampire. When she kills Francesca, this seems to impact her immensely, causing her to go on a spree of tearing up Esme's nursery. She states that she doesn't feel any better. She wants to go back to being a werewolf as she doesn't want to live as a vampire and hates being one. Christopher takes on a menArianang role, teaching Ariana how to use her new hybrid status to her advantage.

She has also shown several arrogant traits. She tells Brandon that she doesn't need a caretaker, as "hybrids are invincible", despite being the one responsible for arranging Christopher' massacre of twelve hybrids. She is also confident in her belief that she could take down both Esther and Finn, despite the latter taking down both Christopher and Brandon, and the former being one of the most powerful witches in history, and the one responsible for the creation of vampires. This almost costs her when she faces Finn, and she only survives thanks to the intervention of Jackson.

Despite her arrogance she is still terrified of Christopher, even though she has a good relationship with the latter, Ariana does not learn from her mistakes, as she arrogantly threatened Morgana an immensely powerful immortal witch, this arrogance of hers costs Ariana when Morgana places her under the Crescent Curse.

Ariana has also become extremely paranoid, far more than Christopher, believing that Christopher will always be a threat to their daughter, because he made enemies over the years, believing that they will hurt Esme to get revenge on Christopher, her attempt to take Esme away from Christopher ultimately turned the latter against her.

Ariana has become far more hypocritical, after Christopher apparently joined forces with Morgana, after she tried to take their daughter away from him, and after he had Morgana, place her under the Crescent Curse, before she was fully transformed into her wolf form, Ariana uses her final moments to try and reason with Christopher, pleading with him to see that Morgana will take Esme away from them, only for Christopher to call her out on her hypocritical nature, and coldly remind Ariana that she was the one who tried to take Esme away from him not Morgana.

Ariana has displayed a capacity for being sympathetic to the struggles of others, most notably Natalie and Cami, and gave them the advice and support that they needed at the time. In both situations, Ariana was unapologetic and blunt but well-meaning, earning her the friendship of both women.
## Physical Appearance

Ariana is a widely gorgeous female hybrid with light olive skin, hazel green eyes, and dark brown hair. Her hair is shoulder length and is usually worn loose, though sometimes is pulled up in a ponytail, a half up, or rarely, a french braid. She is tall with an athletic but slim figure. As a Salvatore on her right shoulder, lies the Crescent birthmark.

According to Amelia, Ariana's daughter, Esme, looks just like Ariana.

Her style is natural, edgy and relaxed, favoring an earthy color palette with plaid and floral prints. Often she pairs soft, feminine pieces such as fashionable dresses and skirts with leather or denim, such as belts, boots, or jeans. She has been seen to wear many accessories such as large, dangle earrings, long pendants, necklaces and a variety of rings. On occasions, such as the Miss Alicante Pageant, she chose to dress up in a more formal style. Towards the end of her pregnancy, she wears a lot of dresses. Her wolf form is grey and brown and has yellow/gold glowing eyes.

## Powers and Abilities

* Werewolf
* Werewolf-Vampire Hybrid

As a werewolf, Ariana possessed the standard werewolf powers and abilities.

She is also a skilled hand-to-hand combatant as she defeated, pregnant, witches that came to kill her and Esme; She uses objects to her advantage. She is very skilled with kick/punch combos Ariana faced, unarmed, four witches armed with machetes and crossbows and managed to kill them with her bare hands. During her pregnancy, she didn't transform and due to her daughter and healed faster than a regular werewolf.

After completing her transition, due to her daughter's blood, she possessed all the standard powers and abilities of an non-original werewolf-vampire hybrid.

Ariana's physical strength was seemingly unusually strong even for an non-original werewolf-vampire hybrid. She was stronger than some non-original vampires and has shown to be able to fight vampires of greater age as well, consistently defying normal expectation of such outcomes. Ariana was also able to stagger Christopher with her attacks more than Marcel could, a vampire of two centuries; though still no match for Christopher or any other Original, who all easily exceeds her powers and skills as shown . Ariana is currently the strongest non-original werewolf-vampire hybrid in the world especially since that she is now the only one in existence. As seen in she got into a heated fight with Christopher and attacked him, however he was not fighting back, simply allowing her to vent her anger. Ariana along with Marcel, a vampire of notable skill and power, were both easily overpowered and defeated by Shen Min, a non-original vampire who was over 800 years old and suffering from Ariana's bite, both would have most definitely been killed by him if it had not been for Brandon's intervention. Curiously however, Ariana somehow was able to subdue and capture Shen in their first encounter. Other ancient vampires, such as Aya Al-Rashid and Ariana, are also able to subdue her because of their skill, power and age. Ariana, the second sired vampire in existence with equal age to the first, noted that Ariana was strong for an infant; however, just like with Christopher, she is no match for Ariana.

Ariana continued to show great skill in physical combat, such as fighting multiple vampires at once and defeating all of them, seemingly one by one. She even moved fast enough that some of them couldn't even counter her attacks and could remove their hearts in the blink of an eye. Recently, Ariana demonstrated yet another unusual level of her powers by transforming into her wolf form within seconds, something that takes werewolves hours to complete, even previous Hybrids such as Tyler Lockwood was unable to transform at such speed. While in her werewolf form she was able to completely dismember them in seconds.

Ariana even cares about her daughter's survival more that about her own as it can be see when she fought against Mathias.
