Arienette2

Arienette is the glue. In a certain mood, sitting on a roof top under the crescent moon, she might confide to you that she is the center of the whole entire universe; if she stopped breathing, if her heart stopped beating, it would all fall apart. And she would state it with such conviction that you might dare to believe it was true.

Conviction is a key word for this girl. Arienette believes in things. She believes that if she kisses her elbow she will turn into a boy; standing in a crowded train station one might observe as she absentmindedly lifts her arm above her head and contorts the muscles this way and that trying to convince that boney point to meet her lips.
She believes that whole deal about stepping on cracks and mother�s backs. Confronted once with a four building long stretch of fractured concrete between herself and her destination was more than enough to bring her to tears. Arienette had a good deal of guilt associated with her mother already, her birth had put the woman into a coma, she wasn�t about to risk careless crack stepping.
