Hi. Im Ariana Salvatore. I am 174 years old. I have 2 younger brothers,
Damon and Stefan. My mother and I ran away when I was at the age
of 11. My brother, Damon was 9; Stefan was 2. My father never spoke
of us because he knew why we left in the first place. He convinced
Damon that I never existed and that our mother died from an illness.
I tried telegraphing my father because I missed him. I wrote to him what
was going on and he wrote to me everything was fine. Both of them forgot
about mother and I. 8 years later, when I was 24; I got turned into a
vampire by Klaus... and he killed my mother. My power is to tell if
people are lying and I can tell what they're thinking. The next year,
I met this guy, David; he was gay, but wasn't scared of vampires at
all. Which included getting killed by one. He's my best friend. We
were both on the run from Klaus.
