JRPG Mechanics Stuff
Appropriately for the heiress to the Caledonian throne, Arianna is of the Sovereign class, which as you might expect is a class themed around leadership. In practical terms that translates to status buff management and healing. A complete list of every skill available to her is here under the EO2U tab, but here's a summary of what she can do:
  • Weapons: Sovereigns can wield swords, staves, and whips, though she doesn't get any fancy skills for them.
  • Order skills: By giving appropriate orders, Arianna can boost the attack and defense of allies, give them protection against status ailments or a chance to endure lethal damage, or let them regenerate HP. Because of Order Mastery, all of these have the side effect of restoring some health, though not as much as an actual healer.
  • Buff canceling: There's no indication of how Ad Nihilo, Negotiation, White Noble, and Clearance actually work in-universe, but mechanically she can cancel buffs and debuffs on allies to heal them, on enemies to hurt them, and on everyone to restore her own TP.
  • Elemental nonsense: Arianna can indirectly manipulate the elements of fire, ice, and electricity. Her Link Orders allow her to follow up an ally's elemental attack with one of her own, and her Circles temporarily tilt a particular element in her allies' favor, increasing damage they do and decreasing what they take.
  • Encouragement: By showing enthusiasm and keeping people's spirits up, Arianna can help allies recover health, TP, and Force.
  • Force: EO2U characters all have a class-specific Force Boost, sort of a super mode they can activate periodically, and a Force Break, a powerful move they can use during Force Boost at the price of disabling Force entirely until they can return to town and rest. Arianna's Force Boost is Victory Vow, which makes her Order skills affect the entire party and cost less TP... neither of which is particularly meaningful outside the context of EO2U game mechanics. Her Force Break is Proof of Nobility, which restores health and TP for all allies.

Aside from these specific abilities, she's at a high enough level that she's significantly stronger and tougher than her appearance would suggest, though not to the point of being superhuman.

Daughter of the Mark
As the current (and last) Daughter of the Mark, Arianna has the ability to select the Fafnir Knight, or at least she would if the Temple of Ginnungagap still had any power and if it existed in this reality to begin with. She also can sense whether her chosen Knight is alive somewhere in the world, so... uh... if he ever turns up, she'll immediately know.

Airlocked! Nanites
Like all Airlocked! Champions, Arianna's body is full of tiny robots that cause any injuries to heal faster, even if she's dead.

And Now I Can Talk To Animals
Arianna, or anyone else wearing her Animal Voice Choker, can talk to animals, understanding and being understood by them. This doesn't make them any smarter, though.

Can Tell One Hedgehog From Another
Arianna has a good eye for detail and can learn to recognize individuals of a set other people might consider indistinguishable. This doesn't help if she doesn't know there's more than one, but she probably won't mistake Izunia for Ardyn again.

Hypothetical Armiger
Arianna doesn't actually have access to Ardyn's hammerspace inventory at this time, but OOC consensus is that she's likely to eventually, so I thought I should probably mention it here anyway.

Normal, Sane Things
Arianna has some skill with city planning and development, which she picked up by watching her father. She's slightly okay at cartography, though inexperienced compared to other EO characters. She's had significant practice with cooking, mostly baking but she also makes a pretty good burger. She's also in good physical shape, even aside from the weird JRPG stuff.

Inventory:
  • Princess's Clothes - Her canon outfit as seen in the image link earlier. Not even slightly Marginally suitable for adventuring.
  • Technically Armor - Her armor as seen in the image link earlier. Meant to be ceremonial, but it works.
  • Princess's Staff - Her staff as seen in the image link earlier. Sturdier than it looks, but just a staff, not magic or anything.
  • Princess's Earrings - A pair of golden clip-on earrings, decorated with gems matching her hair
  • ID Lanyard - A lanyard meant to hold an ID card. It instead contains a bookmark.
  • Animal Voice Choker- An iridescent choker, previously mentioned under Abilities.
  • Tote Bag - A souvenir canvas tote bag with a picture of the Cancer Nebula on it.
  • Phone - A purple smartphone with way too many apps installed.
  • Princess - An ornate golden chess piece more commonly known as a queen. Maybe someday she'll be able to finish this quest.
