Ariana Blackwood

Older half-sister of Ashlyn (daughter of Lady Selantria Blackwood from an
earlier marriage). Earned her full vampirism through discipline and service, long
since proven among Veilwood's noble lines. Rather than looking down on her
dhampir sister, she was a steady and fiercely loyal presence — guiding Ashlyn through
the unspoken rules of vampire society and training her in etiquette, presence, and
the careful language of nobility. The two took quiet palisade shifts together in
Copseweald as the curse closed in.
