Thought I would describe Ari (Ariel). Amber used to call her "the little girl" though petite or exquisite or maybe tiny might be better. I think petite is probably the best word. She has almost a shag cut for her hair and is a terror with that staff. She is so sweet, though she wouldn't say so, the nicest person I know. There are lots of smart people and lots of pretty people (and Ari is both), but she is really, really nice. Her birthday is February 14, 1986 which made her 16 for Christmas 2002. That is Ari's real birthday, Amber just picked her birthday to match, so the two of them celebrate together. It is because of how nice Ari's is, is why I am glad she is my friend. She is good at your back too! I borrowed this sketch of her that is right below, which is close. She is slender, her hair used to be really long (before I met her), then short, then short and bushy and now it is fluffy and about shoulder length. It is frost colored, she has a star mark on her cheek, and she wears a riding skirt, a light jacket/coat and a dragonscale spirit shirt, while carrying "the gripping blade" which is really a staff that changes shape and size, and that can be edged -- it is magical. Did I mention how nice she is?.  The picture in the background is of a guy we met who could have been Ariel's twin. I'm not sure if she liked him or not, maybe we'll see him again.  indigo's glyph Ariel (human) Languages:  English 95%, French 65%, Byzant (Greek Dialect) 45%, Freezing Darktongue (a language of magic) 65%
