Arianne Kassay

'' "The battle was over as soon as it began and Arianne trotted over to the flag and slowly, almost mockingly, strode back to her side, waving with her gloved hands at her audience, blowing a kiss to the judges." ''

       -Mako on Arianne after shes beats Team Corpse

Background
Arianne Kassay is known to be a professional killer, beating everyone whenever a competition for ranks happen even when she has two other teammates. She is almost regarded as Zane 's right hand woman because of her domineering rank amongst the field teams and the quality of the work she does. Arianne is appointed the leader of the Gold Rank Team Crown and contributes greatly during fights.

In the first book, it is revealed that Arianne was actually the only daughter of Emy Kassay and had lived her childhood in Dawn City. Where Emy originally also had lived before eventually taking a job in an orphanage outside of Dawn City where she meets Mako as a young child. Once Arianne is notified of her mother's death, it is said she simply disappears when the authorities try to take her in. She is very talented and intelligent, something Mako believes she takes after her mother.

Appearance
Mako describes Arianne as being blonde and being very beautiful. When Mako first sees her, she already suspects Arianne's true murderous nature. According to Mako, she always wears gray clothing and has blue eyes and plump lips. Mako notices much later the similarities in appearance between Arianne and Emy, even when she doesn't know their true relation yet.

Personality
Arianne has a very mischeivious personality. She often smirks and sneers at those who see her trickery. Otherwise Arianne is very work-oriented and focuses on the task at hand more than anything else. She does her work well and this gives her a deal of pride. It is unknown why she is so good at job, when her only known training was the same as all the others. Arianne is also not the kindest D.E.A.T.H. member. She doesn't tolerate ignorance which is shown in Chapter 20- A Death Sentence, when she shouts, cursing at Ronan when he calls Mako a monster because of her Deteriorate form. She is a born leader and often leads important missions, which annoys Angie, who hates Arianne with a passion, to no end.

Skills
Arianne is most famed for her smooth and fluid style of combat. She studies her surrounding and can use a sort of quick 360- degree type of attack with fast movements. She uses contact fighting to her advantage, unlike Mako who has a hard time even throwing a punch. Her signature weapon is a pair of knuckle knifes strapped to her hands. It is thought that since she has no concrete book-written strategy, she is an unexpected competitor and is very dangerous.
