"Mommy! Mommy, Look!" a young girl with red and black hair said, running up to her mother, holding a beaded necklace she made in school. "Oh, isn't that pretty, We'll have to show you're father home, won't we, Ariana?" "Yeah! And I can show him what we learned in art today!" Ariana said, smiling happily.

"FREEZING!" Ariana shrieked, as she surfaced from jumping off the cliff into the lake. "That…is…cold!" she said, climbing out and shivering, and then climbed up the side of the cliff, and took a few steps back, before running forward, and jumping, landing in the water again, laughing as she surfaced.

"Wow! Look at all the colors! Damian, Mom, Dad! LOOK!" Ariana cheered, as she watched the fireworks go off. "Wooooow! Ah! DAMIAN! Don't squirt me with the water gun!"

"See you after school, mom!" a 15 year old Nina said as she walked towards her school. She laughed as she talked with her friends, who she met up with a few blocks away.

"Hello, Russo residence, this is Ariana speaking." "Ariana…it's Damian…I'm sorry, aunt Sarah and uncle Miguel died in a car crash…you're to be sent to Forks, Washington, to live with your uncle Charlie…" Ariana paled. "…a…alright."
As you can see, I lived a very happy childhood, lots of family time, plenty of games, always made top marks in class, had lots of friends, never caused trouble, until my world crumbled apart when my parents died in a car crash, and I was sent to live with my uncle and his daughter in Forks, a small town in the Olympic Peninsula. That's when I suddenly became surly, bad mouthed, and extremely rude. And yet, I thought life couldn't get any more strange, since I was moving from warm, sunny Houston, to cold, dreary, rainy Forks. That is, until I met the Cullens. My name is Ariana Russo(but I prefer Nina, thanks), and this is my story.
