Lady Radiance: Fall

When a snarky artist paints high school senior Arianna Rodriguez as a superhero, Arianna can do nothing but think about how fulfilling her life would be if she was one.

Addicted to enlarging her popularity, Arianna takes on the challenge in a heartbeat. She does everything she can to make sure her classmates don't know it's actually her. But there is one person who knows exactly who is behind that mask, the artist: Vanessa Jade Mangdener.

With only herself on her mind, Arianna does little to calm Vanessa's anger. But Vanessa takes the offer to help Arianna anyway. Vanessa is skeptical of Arianna's heroism, but if helping Arianna makes her home significantly safer, she'll take that risk; Arianna knowing Vanessa would take that risk the very second she made that offer.

Arianna, impressed by Vanessa's observation skills, eases up on her crime fighting routine, spending more of her time on other commitments. Even with help, Arianna's life is more hectic than ever before. She finds her empire that she's built up for three years is beginning to crumble, and Arianna will do whatever it takes to reinforce her walls, while continuing to prioritize her relationships, while keeping her superhero side a secret, while keeping her grades up. Obligation after obligation dominates Arianna's schedule. But she finds that she has left one of the most important aspects of herself out.

Desperate to salvage whatever she can, Arianna struggles to pick up the broken pieces of herself as her life spirals further and further out of her control. Her decision will face her head on. Are the broken pieces even worth being picked up? Which pieces are worth more than others?
