Ariela “Ari” Fernandez, she/her, poly Eliot/Parker/Hardison ship, Esmeralda Soto FC. An extremely talented forger, able to replicate both art and sculptures and fashion alike, who’s recruited to the team right at the very beginning. Raised by wealthy but very absent and neglectful parents (got her start in forging by replicating their signatures for school forms), so she’s spent most of her life alone before finding Nate and the others. In charge of replicating art pieces and creating clothing replicas for the cons, but also helps out with undercover work occasionally, especially for cons where they need a singer because she has a good voice. Bright and warm and chaotic (but in a much less feral way than Parker is), but also really needs reassurance and craves connection and can’t stand being alone. Honestly sells her own art under an alias, and has a habit of randomly breaking into song to confuse opponents since she’s not that good at fighting (it only works about half the time).
