Often times, many people see the angry, wrathful, dangerous side to Ari. She was raised for combat and strife, but she was also learned as a savvy tactician and political huntress. She was taught in both the ways of war and the social arena. Too often, we overlook how skilled she was at duping an entire nation and its elite into believing she was a royal seer of prophecy - manipulating events to her favor and having Taylor revered as this figure of prophecy: a mammal in a sea of reptiles. It's unprecedented and absurd, yet she accomplished all of this within a year. Her maneuvering through the circles of high society was expertly done and there's not enough credit given to her accomplishment there. Ari is brilliant and smart and she uses her mind for more than just fighting. She's well-rounded in all ways except perhaps her internal emotional state when it comes to her father - the one who trained her to be this way.
