Aradia is a Transcendent of the Bridge Builders Cabal.
She is a figure from a famous witchcraft grimoire (namely Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches), presented as a report on legends conveyed to the author by an Italian witch in Tuscany. Said to be the daughter of Diana and Lucifer, Aradia was described as the "goddess of all witches", who supposedly took a physical body and descended to the human world to save persecuted witches and the poor from the wealthy church. Described as a goddess of witches, the moon and the night.
She expresses disinterest in things relating to the cross, considering it newfangled nonsense, and questioning if one would find anything of worth in people who rejected the witches of a bygone era yet appropriated their legends as part of their religion.

Coupled with the ability to frame her deeds as good and exploit good deeds for malicious ends, Aradia is skilled at manipulating people and proselytizing, allowing her to rapidly build a coven of new witches, which share a portion of her power (including the binding and usage of the Rule of Three) and can draw on her spells, inscribed in the Book of Shadows granted to them.
Like many witches, Aradia makes extensive use of ointments and plant-based mixtures. In her case, the 'palette' of chemical compounds that are her ingredients are stored in the gold decorations she wears, with herbs kneaded into the malleable gold for storage. By rubbing the key-shaped clasps, powder is produced which falls to her feet and she mixes in her sweat, sebum or oil by stepping on it barefoot, creating an ointment and a 'shadow' that powers her magic.
