Aranea is a High Fae who resides in Velaris.

History[]

A Court of Frost and Starlight[]

Aranea is a weaver who was born or moved at some point in her life to Velaris, where she married a male and she was married to him for three hundred years.

She was the owner of a gallery where she sold things woven by her, such as tapestries and blankets. The day Hybern attacked the Summer Court her husband was among those who came to help and was killed in the battle of Adriata. The day after she heard the news she invented a cloth, which she called Void, and with it she wove a tapestry in the shape of the Night Court insignia. The fabric creates an absence of color as it represents the feeling of loss.

After the end of the war against Hybern her gallery was visited by Feyre Archeron and Elain Archeron when they were looking for gifts to give on Winter Solstice. She told them the story of the Void and Feyre bought it while Elain bought two blankets, one raspberry pink and one lilac, for her friends Nuala and Cerridwen.

Sometime later, Feyre and Ressina opened a studio in the Rainbow of Velaris to teach those who wanted to learn how to paint for free. She visited them and helped by giving weaving classes.

Trivia[]

  • Aranea is a synonym for Araneus, the name of a species of weaver spider known for weaving large webs. Sarah J. Maas probably chose this name for the character because of the activity she does.
