Ariana Cornick

Silver Borne

• Alicia Brewster²⁶⁵
• Ari²⁶⁷
• Silver³⁰⁵

Silver Borne

• She'd altered her real appearance just enough that she looked human. Her skin was tanned and human-smooth, her eyes gray, and her hair blond³⁴¹

Frost Burned

• Her current facade was neither beautiful nor ugly, more of a pleasant average. Pale gold hair, more often found in children than adults before the advent of hair dye, framed her face and set off her soft gray eyes³⁰
• Apparent age between twenty-five and thirty³⁰

Night Broken

• Her hair was blond, her eyes gray, her skin clear, entire aspect unremarkable³⁰⁵

Silver Borne

• Smelled of earth and forest and magic with a touch of something burning, air and salt water¹²³
• Brilliant grass green eyes that darkened to blue and brightened²⁶⁷
• The pupils of her eyes widened past her changeable irises until her eyes were as black as a starless night. Then her glamour went all funky²⁶⁷
• Can work magic in silver and so she was named²⁶⁹
• Can imprint her magic on things²⁶⁹
• Can true name²⁷⁷
• She moved like a wolf, bold and graceful and strong²⁷⁸
• Works off ties, the threads that bind us to those things that are ours²⁸¹
• Without glamour, her skin was a warmer color than Zee's and several shades lighter. It was beautiful against silver-lavender hair that was no more than a finger-length long anywhere and floated out from her scalp more like plumage than hair. Ariana's clothes altered when her glamour dropped as well, into a simple knee-length dress of an off-white color with a handkerchief hem²⁸⁷
• She wasn't conventionally beautiful-her face was too inhuman for that, with eyes that were too big and a nose too small for humanity²⁸⁷
• Iron-kissed fae in her background, steel holds no terror for her²⁹⁰
• Holds earth, air, fire, and water; it is what made her do great magic after most of Underhill was out of reach³⁰⁷

Frost Burned

• Ancient-older than Bran, Mercy thought³²
• Can sense silver but not call it to her³³
• Could feel someone's attention through the phone³⁵
• Can make her home difficult to find for a few hours³⁶
• Silver Borne keeps her power muted; last of the powerful fae born after humans began to use iron⁴⁹
• If she really freaked out, Samuel was worried that the Silver Borne might give her back everything it had taken from every fae for as long as it had existed⁴⁹
• Last of the powerful fae born after humans began to use iron. Even muted, she could wipe out a city block⁴⁹
• Her pupils and irises had vanished, and her eyes swallowed the light⁵¹
• smelled like forest¹⁷⁵

Night Broken

• Under her glamour, she was spectacularly beautiful³⁰⁵
• Commands earth, air, fire and water- though not as well as she once did³⁰⁶
• Doesn't have even a tenth of the power she once had³¹²

Silver

• Her power outshone her forest lord father's⁸
• Strong with magic from both sides of her bloodline. The magic allowed her to heal from things that would have killed a hobgoblin. Her father was a forest lord, an independent but powerful fae, her mother one of the high ladies of the highest courts¹⁹
• The beast was more powerful in its way than Ariana³⁴
• Long fall of pale silver hair touched with lavender that could not have belonged to a human³⁵
• The beast looked much like Ariana but the eyes were always deep, fathomless, black
• Dual-natured: Ariana's beast was born of that heritage
• Had her father not brutalized her with pain and the terror of the hounds, it would never have materialized
• Once a spell was sealed into the silver, she could not unwork it
• Burnt out her magic in the making of the Silver Borne
• Is a weaver

Silver Borne

• Her voice was lightly accented, some combination of British and Welsh²⁷⁵

Silver Borne

• Has a sense of humor²⁷⁶

Frost Burned

• She had this softness about her, a vulnerability that allowed her to be rather easily hurt³²

Silver

• Tougher than she looked⁴²
• Once, she was lovely and sweet and, it hurts me to confess, spoiled. Beloved daughter. But immortality is more curse than blessing. All things pass away
• If you hurt her or scare her, the beast will attack. It is dangerous

Silver

• Walked with the poise her mother had drilled into her before she left; advantage of moving with grace was that it kept her centered

Silver Borne

• She can't even look at wolves without a panic attack²⁵⁷

Frost Burned

• Had a deep-seated and totally justified terror of canids³²

Silver

• Listens in doorways

Ariana and Samuel

Silver Borne

• Samuel didn't care about her scars, only the pain they represented²⁷²

Silver

• Wasn’t used to small kindnesses being dealt out by men, and she felt herself falling under the spell of the soft-spoken Samuel
• Silverheart, Ariana’s heart. Her body loved his form, but her heart loved the man within who had so much kindness inside him

Ariana and the Pack

Frost Burned

• Deep-seated and totally justified terror of canids, which she'd only overcome with people she knew well - meaning Samuel³²
• She liked Peter; Samuel had asked him to help Ari with her fear of werewolves⁵¹

Ariana and the Fae

Frost Burned

• No follower and her allegiance is not longer to the Gray Lords, if it ever was³¹
• Allowed to leave the reservation under the condition she do nothing to draw attention to herself; and take the Silver Borne with her³¹

Fire Touched

• Ariana made herself unwelcome because of what she held¹⁴⁴

Ariana and Haida

Silver

• Haida's magic snuck in and clothed the beast's memories in kindness, a thing possible only because the beast allowed it²¹
• If it had not been for Haida, Ariana knew she would have long ago been lost to the beast²²
• Haida hated herself for her inability to defend Ariana³⁴

Ariana and Her Father

Silver

• There was nothing left of the father who had loved her. The one who had taken her on long walks in the woods and taught her to speak to the deep-voiced oaks and the quivering willow²³
• Ariana's father, blinded by need, was determined to force her to use her magic to make the artifact²⁴
• Artifact or no, it was her destruction that her father craved²⁸
• Whatever she and her beast had managed, it had thwarted her father's will. She might die, but he could not use her to destroy the world²⁸
• Grief, rage and relief fought for ascendance. Once, she has loved him, her father whose death changed so much⁴⁹

Ariana and Phin

Silver Borne

• She adores Phin, he's like her son who she lost long ago²⁸⁰
