Chronology
She was created by Henrietta to overcome the difficulties she had being intimate with Edward Lehman.<ref>She concocts her solution. Edward reluctantly helps. A drug to mirror herself, transform her mind and body from sweet and gentle young lady Henrietta to the licentious woman Arietta. Only a little, only with Edward, and only to unlock the feelings caged deep inside, that she does feel for him. With that, the fears slip away, it gets easier and easier. Only a dose to transform, now and then, such as when the coming winter of year seven brings old fears with it, renewing that entrapment of her breath in her throat.- Excerpt from Summer Break 13.2</ref> Whilst drugged to become Arietta Henrietta made promises, Edward wrote these down and they were later stolen.<ref>A little bit later, while they are at Church, their home is raided and ransacked. Among the things taken are papers. While transformed, Henrietta’s alter ego was incautious with her words, and made promises- still ones Henrietta might have made, but because Henrietta’s memory isn’t always Arietta’s, Edward thought it wise to write down those promises, in case they were keeping.- Excerpt from Summer Break 13.2</ref> This lead to Henrietta's step-brother finding out about them and forswearing her.<ref>The brother finds her again, and he names her forsworn.- Excerpt from Summer Break 13.2</ref>
After Henrietta was made forsworn Arietta took over her body, attacks her step-brother<ref>The Carmine moved her hand, fingers flicking out, as if to brush something away.
Arietta the alter ego turned her head, looked at the older brother and smiled.
The Carmine’s hand closed, crushing the last of Henrietta. Arietta stood, stretching, still smiling, and strode toward the older brother. He was strong, but so was she. Henrietta had been talkative when happy, prattling on, and Arietta was wordless in her victory.
She destroyed the older brother, each strike decisive, aimed at vulnerabilities.

I’ll need them for him. The pages too, while you’re at it. The ones you copied for her.”
“To mend him? Are you so merciful?”
“To mend him, yes, but my intent is the furthest thing from mercy. I’ll take this lout apart, mend him, take him apart again, mend him. I’ll see how far apart I can get the individual pieces while ensuring he’ll live a long time.”

Years later she was eventually bound, sealed in a box, wrapped in chains and then drowned<ref>Arietta was bound, sealed in a box, and wrapped in chain.
Then they drowned the box, with Arietta inside it.- Excerpt from Summer Break 13.2</ref> She had killed multiple times in the years since her creation.<ref>She watched as Arietta was bound by practitioners. Arietta had killed in the years since the Carmine had let her become what she was. She’d lived multiple generations, found lovers and rivals, and she’d left trails of carnage behind her.- Excerpt from Summer Break 13.2</ref>
