Alright, before I get started with posting this story I've got a few things to say.

So, first off, may you all PLEASE realize that this story was started BEFORE Brotherhood came out. I'll still try and match it to the canon. Also, I found the names for my characters by asking ChaCha for common Italian names. The fact that there's a character name Pietro and an Assassin's recruit with the last name Esposito are COMPLETELY coincidental. I actually got kinda pissed when I saw that.

One last thing… I'mma put in a "Character Analysis" right here to save room on my profile so… ENJOY! Bwahahaha!

Story: There's not much known about ARIANNA herself, except the ESPOSITO family was very closely associated with the AUDITORE family. Supposedly her parents died in a "freak earthquake" when she was 14. In reality, her father died while on an assignment (her parents were Assassins, if you didn't get that) and her mother was with him, but ARIANNA wasn't very close to her mother (just because they never really bonded), so she left home. Her friend PIETRO had lived with her in Romagna for a while, but had moved to Firenze a year prior, so she went there (He's 4 years older than her). She laid low and kept to herself. At the story's start, she has met all the members of the AUDITORE family except for EZIO. The AUDITORE family treats her as such. Plus, through the AUDITORE family, she has also grown to know LEONARDO DA VINCI quite well. Her father's side of the family had been a long line of Assassins, and he'd trained her to carry on the tradition. But even then, he mostly only taught her to fight and the basic rules, because his father had taught him the same way, and had let him learn the rest for himself. Anything besides that she had to either learn for herself, or just build on the skills her father had given her.
