Adriana Arkwright has resigned herself to the fact that evil has surrounded her. The Ancestor is, of course, the worse of her problems, but she has others. The slimy Paul Reeves won't keep his eyes off her. Sean Wilson's temper has caught her in the midst more than once. Romeo Inigo wants a cut, Patricia Wilson wants a cut, everyone wants a little slice of the blood market she's set up, and if she wants to survive in this town, everyone gets what they want. Especially Uncle James.

The Brand
Adriana's brand is on the back of her neck. While she can cover it up with her hair, she wears it sometimes with her hair up and for the world to see. Anything to keep the Ancestor at bay. Her brand is important, she knows that. She interacts with the locals as much as Declan does, and they're James' eyes and ears about town. James has noticed Lionel, and Adriana would be damned if he turns his hungry eyes towards her little brother.
The Fangs
Adriana is unique amongst the living Arkwrights in that once she tried to fight back. She bit James' hand, and while it didn't deter him, it did intoxicate her. That was the last time she ever let herself taste vampire blood, no matter how delicious it was. The beating didn't stop, anyway. But that was the last time James hurt her without reason. She struck a bargain with the Ancestor that night, and now it's James' blood on the line, not hers.
The Horror
Adriana's personal hell doesn't come from the Ancestor, it comes from herself. Evil surrounds her, and the only way to survive is to blend in. So Adriana blends in. She's one of them, now. If Sean is kicking the shit out of someone, she's right there beside him, aiming for whatever part Sean isn't. If Paulie's on the prowl, she makes sure there's a woman in his path to distract him. Adriana is the yes-man to every crook, and it makes them yes-men to her. She's become Haven's little princess of crime.
