Adaria/Arida "Stonematron" Pequitone

Adaria/Arida "Stonematron" Pequitone is part of the secondary group of Beta antagonists, the daughter of an unnamed Beta woman and man who were killed during a survivor village raid (rumored to be the remnants of a longstanding protective society called Elysium IV, founded during the post-*Bleak Times* era), and is one of the few people initially aware of the Crystal Chaos Theory that neither debuted in *The Hidden Genome* nor was afflicted by it directly or originitated from a previous era. The other exceptions to this are Liko "Voltergeist" Harrows, Raiko "Crimsicle" Harrows, Zhorenite/Zhori/Z "Zenetic Growth" Malekovelitch, Efferam/Eko/Fm "ESPionage" Malekovelitch, Jordi "Lapidust" Kenavian, Kinora/Kina "Psyiodionic/Bionic Angel" Veriscitian Harrows, and Khoru/Ko "Dimenisis/Bounty HuntNoir" Veriscitian Harrows. out of which only four of them (Adaria included) are not directly beneficiaries of the memory of a Compliment or Incarnation (those who are, of course, being Liko & Raiko and Zhorenite, & Efferam, being directly tied to Nikolay & Vikotr respectively).

She is the founder of the Anti-Chaos League Faction Havok, of which she leads followed by Isibel "Bella Braunz" Quinapiec and Drew "Minos" Melanas as second-in-commands. The others in Universe Wegintkwat

2833264044-31263530\*, being El Wreks, the Throne, and Raiders of Ultimate: Extermination (RUE), hail from the eras of *It's Not Just A Game, Hidden Genome: Conditional Seal,* & *Metal Immortal*. They all mostly die out with the respective disaster ending their main story, except for the remnants of Throne and Havok, which go with the ultimate universal extermination ending *No More Evo*. Out of all of them, Adaria's is by far the most influential, but also the most dangerous. While El Wreks was widespread in the HAVEN and had influence everywhere, they came into play as a response rather than attacking of their own accord. In the case of the Throne, they were fearful fanatics to begin with, and attacked most seemingly powerful individuals out of fear, with future leaders of Throne repurposing the organization it into an ACLF. As for RUE, it actually was completely ignorant of the Crystal Chaos Theory, and simply was a much more extreme underground faction of United Front that dealt in peacekeeping and safety of the underprivileged by all means necessary.

Adaria has held many roles throughout her lifespan up to this point, including (chronologically):

* Kaylah's assistant commander in the Flock
* Villain Sand Scourge
* Agent for Youth Recruitment for the Hellspawn
* Villain Overkill during the Veriscitian Artifact Hunt
* Beta Guard for Carterman Pausis
* Founder and leader of Havoc
* Acting Hunt Enforcing Leader (HEL) alongside Nikolay
* Oren-Knight in *No More Evo* & *Worlds Apart* series

An interesting aspect about Adaria is that out of the many romantic love interests presented throughout the various stories and series, she is one of few who (openly, even more surprisingly) does not care about her love interest's other relationships. She one of the rare exceptions of people in the series not being jealous of other competition, and in fact embraces it openly as both a challenge and a natural aspect of life. She affirms this to Nikolay several times, telling him that whatever else is a part of him doesn't matter to her: she has her reasons for loving him, and regardless of the other parts of his personality, his past, or other aspects of him, it is irrelevant to how she feels or how she intends to treat him. To quote from one of her scenes towards the back end of the latter third of *Gen New*:

"Wait, what?" muttered Nikolay, shaking his head as he fell back slightly against the wall opposite Arida, putting his hand to his head as his other finger pointed to a smirking Arida, "You...*you* like *me*?"
