[[Brevet General]] '''Ariana Winston''' was a member of the [[Eridani Light Horse]], one of the most famous [[mercenary]] units in the [[Inner Sphere]].  Born into and raised by the Horsemen, Ariana quickly rose through the ranks to become the commanding officer first of the [[Twenty-first Striker Regiment]] and then the entire brigade in [[3045]]. She was chosen by [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]] [[Morgan Hasek-Davion]] to be the second-in-command of [[Task Force Serpent]], a clandestine operation to capture and raze the [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] homeworld of [[Huntress]]. When he was assassinated en route, General Winston became overall commander of the Task Force and oversaw the successful invasion and fought alongside her troops as the Smoke Jaguars launched a desperate counterinvasion. She died on Huntress leading from the cockpit of her ''[[Cyclops]]'', just minutes before a message was received that relief forces under the command of [[Victor Steiner-Davion]] had arrived.  As per Light Horse tradition, she was buried on Huntress along with those Horsemen who had also fallen during the course of the battle.

Ariana Winson was the daughter of [[Colonel]] [[Charles Winston]], the commander of the Twenty-first Striker Regiment.  Absorbed in the history and traditions of the [[Eridani Light Horse]], Ariana chose to follow in her father's footsteps and enlist in the Light Horse on her nineteen birthday, though Colonel Winston made sure that she would not receive any special treatment. Though struggling through basic training on account of her poor study habits, Ariana's sheer willpower eventually earned her a place at the top of her class. After she graduated, Ariana was assigned to a strike lance in her father's unit and quickly began to advance through the ranks.<ref name=TotC14>''Twilight of the Clans'', p. 14</ref>
