Biography[]

Early life[]

Arianna was the daughter of the wealthy Gallo family and heiress to the RossoGallo company. She was in love with Stefano Ashmann at some point, but their relationship didn't work out and Arianna broke it off due to Stefano's abusive behavior and drinking habits. In her adulthood, she was introduced by her parents to her future husband Richard Felton. Despite the resulting relationship being an arranged marriage that neither Richard nor Arianna were content with, especially considering Richard was biologically a woman, Arianna agreed to be wed to Richard since the marriage was more of a business deal, beneficial for both families.

Arianna eventually took over ownership of RossoGallo and continued operations of its vast farmlands and other corporate affairs. It should be noted that she used her maiden name in business dealings, likely because of the prestige and social pedigree her family name carried.

Behind the scenes, Arianna, Richard, and Albert Elias Wyman were covertly developing a new prototype drug, Phenoxyl 2.0. While the extent of Arianna's involvement in the clandestine project is unclear, documents found in-game indicate that at the very least she was more than aware of what was being done with corporate funds.

Meanwhile Stefano Ashmann, who was still in love with Arianna, demanded that Felton let her go, but Richard refused since he still needed their marriage to cover up his true identity for the sake of both families' reputation. As an act of revenge for stealing "his woman", Stefano raped Felton, which resulted into the latter's pregnancy. The news horrified Arianna and she broke off the relationship with Stefano, choosing to stay by Richard's side.

Starting a family[]

When Celeste was born, Arianna and Richard kept the child hidden from Stefano and Wyman, lying about the girl having been adopted. Arianna grew to love Richard over the years, as he proved to be a great father and husband and raising their daughter together brought them closer. The family eventually settled down in Felton Villa, CervoScuro, in 1965.

Both Arianna and Richard cared for the child immensely as she acted as a bridge between the two, bringing them closer together. Richard sometimes would affectionately call the girl "Jennifer", a nickname she seemed to like. The family went on many vacations together. Arianna and Richard would take Celeste to the movies.

RossoGallo incident (1971)[]

When Phenoxyl 2.0 leaked and contaminated the company's products with toxic pollen, as well as severely affected the red nuns of Cristo Morente and the children of the company's business partners, the Ashmanns, Arianna, her husband and Wyman were indicted for criminal activity and RossoGallo came under intense scrutiny. Eventually, the farm was closed on October 2nd, 1971 by authorities, but before any further investigating could be done, the RossoGallo plantation, the Cristo Morente convent, and a wing of the Ashmann palace all went up in flames due to someone pouring inflammable liquid into the irrigation system and the convent's piping. Eleven of the twelve nuns perished in the blaze, the sole survivor being the Ashmann's daughter as witnessed by Arianna herself.

Disappearance of Celeste (1971)[]

Not long after the fall of RossoGallo, the Feltons' daughter mysteriously disappeared. The ordeal leads them to believe that Wyman was involved in Celeste's disappearance as an act of revenge for causing his downfall, but the police didn't found any evidence and concluded that Celeste intentionally left. In reality, Arianna along with Richard had orchestrated Celeste's disappearance to protect her daughter from being used in Wyman's experiments. Both Arianna and Richard were left heartbroken, with Arianna sheltering herself inside the Villa.

After Celeste's disappearance in 1971, Richard and Arianna were divided, leaving their marriage in a state of ruin. After that, Arianna withdrew from public life and became a virtual recluse. She spent most of her time lying in Celeste's room and sleeping in her bed, as losing her daughter caused her to fall into depression.

Arianna stayed with Richard sometimes he would have taken over by his other self, who would spend time making dresses in the loft or roaming around the house looking for her mother. Arianna would often comfort Richard during his downed emotional state.

Celeste's return to the Felton Villa (1973)[]

In 1973, she left a voicemail for Stefano Ashmann, who was harassing Arianna with silent phone calls for months, asking him to stop tormenting her and Richard and to leave them to deal with their pain of losing their daughter.

Two years later after her disappearance, Celeste returned home hoping to save her parents, only to be followed by Gloria Ashmann, the Red Nun, seeking revenge against the Feltons. Celeste eventually returned home later that year, to Arianna's joy. Richard, however, wasn't able recognize his daughter as she grew older and became a different person to him, whom he called "Jennifer". As Richard fell under the influence of Gloria Ashmann, who followed Celeste, he locked his daughter and Arianna away. They were forbidden to leave the villa, and Richard even installed burglar bars over the mansion's windows. Eventually, Arianna began to stop eating or talking at all, slipping into a catatonic state, as both her and Celeste were being drugged with Phenoxyl and subjected to numerous mesmerism sessions by Gloria. While locked together in the room, Celeste would play Lindsay's song Top of the World on her piano to comfort Arianna, the song that Felton overheard as he remembered it years later.

In her final conversation with Celeste, she told her about an escape route through the attic, the only place still without bars on the windows. Not having the strength to escape, Arianna remained to lie in Celeste's bed and convinced Celeste to leave her. After Celeste had escaped, Richard slipped into the bedroom and, mistaking her for Celeste, struck Arianna with his sickle, killing her. Arianna's body was carried back to her bedroom by Richard, where she remained in a decomposed state for the following 19 years.

Events of Tormented Fathers (1992)[]

When Rosemary Reed is let into the Feltons' manor, she questions Gloria about Arianna. Gloria mentions that she had met Mrs. Felton only a few times, noting that she was usually out or locked away in her room listening to the same song repeatedly. It is clear from her answers that Gloria has seen the turmoil that Celeste's disappearance caused, and the rift that is created between them.

When Rosemary meets Dr. Richard Felton, she notes that he still receives his disability pensions due to Arianna being the beneficiary, since she takes care of her husband when Gloria is off. Richard later revealed that their marriage was more of a business deal than love until Celeste came along and brought them together, describing Celeste as " ...the only bond between my wife and I."

Reed eventually makes her way into Arianna's bedroom only to discover a mummified corpse, which horrifies Reed. She later watches in disgust how Felton gently caresses the body, calling it "Jennifer."

After Rosemary encounters the real Jennifer, the corpse disappears from the room. On its place Rosemary finds a note on with a picture of the red nuns of Cristo Morente and a message written on the back with blood, a clue left by Arianna before her death. She wrote that on the day of the fire, she had seen that someone on the field had survived the blaze: the Ashmann's daughter. The nun later followed Celeste home which Richard saw as a "divine sign", but the Red Nun's ulterior motive was to seek revenge for suffering the horrible effects of prototype no.2 of Phenoxyl, and for the deaths of her fellow sisters. Arianna also mentions the Ashmann's daughter somehow managed to have the full ability to control the moths and convinced Richard to lock her in Celeste's room. She regrets that she didn't take action about the situation and stopped Richard and Albert when she had the chance. In her final moments, before she forgets, she mentions that cortisone can still blind the Nun.

After Rosemary's investigation in Celeste's room, she finds a recorder hidden inside a drawer, filled with recordings of Celeste about the events that happened when she returned to the manor. Rosemary realises that the dead body she saw earlier was indeed Arianna's. After the recording ends, Rosemary has a terrifying encounter with what appears to be Arianna's floating decomposing corpse, revealed to be a hallucination created by the moths, influenced by Rosemary's deep fear of mirrors. When Reed manages to stop the attack by destroying the mirrors in the room, overcoming her fears, "Arianna" simply disappears.

Legacy[]

Arianna's body wasn't mentioned in the news report, implying it was never found. It could also mean that her body was found but was not mentioned.

Years later, Madame Svenska listens to a song playing on the old gramophone that she kept in memory of her late mother.
