Abilities and Powers
The Necklace
She wears a garish, meshwork necklace that is primarily made of thick turquoise chunks. There are also small charms on it, in metal, stone, and wood. The pieces of the necklace allow her to perform magic, primarily activating the meshwork they contain.
Description
She is 5-foot-4 with brown eyes and short blonde hair with dark roots.
The library door swung inward. There stood a woman, perhaps mid-30s, wearing only a black nightgown, one hand clutching a necklace of thick, turquoise chunks, the other hand griping the door handle. Her short, blond-with-dark roots-hair was swept over the top her head, a haircut that spared no expense and looked fresh from the stylist even though she must have been asleep moments before.
Alters
Ariella has at least three alternate identities:
- Patty McTash. Patty has red hair, blue eyes, and dresses like a dowdy office worker. Also described as "frumpy." McTash is also a lawyer, like Ariella.
- Margarite Dufrense. A stern-faced blonde with gray roots.
- Esmay Wilkerson Standish. Two inches shorter and several dress sizes larger than Ariella. Loud makeup, heavy blue eye shadow, a head of silver curls.

Alters Descriptions
Ariella touched the necklace hanging around her neck. She shimmered, then changed — black hair became red, blue eyes became brown, her face widened slightly. Even her clothes changed, from stylish uptown woman to dowdy office worker.
“Ariella Goldsmith didn’t make the call,” she said. “Patty McTash did. On Patty McTash’s phone. Ted will do whatever Patty asks him to do, because Patty once represented him pro bono and got him out of some serious trouble. Ted owes Patty. A lot of people owe Patty. And a lot of people owe Margarite Dufrense—” her visage shifted again, this time becoming a stern-faced blonde with grey roots “—and Esmay Wilkerson-Standish as well.”
