I read this book series in middle school. I believe that it would be classified as young adult fiction/fantasy. A girl has magical powers, and with her growing powers comes runes/tattoos in her arms. This is shown on every book cover. I know that one cover is blue. This one shows the girl in a black tank top and black pants. One is a yellow cover, with her in a dress (I think). The girl has a friend/mentor, who she develops feelings for. The girl is the key to stopping a war between multiple factions/people. Each side is trying to use her to their advantage. I think the series was written in the early 2000s.

You might check this question and the question it links. Of course, this description would also match the Mortal Instruments.– BrythanCommented Feb 1, 2018 at 7:24

Totally just answered my own question. I remembered that the author’s name is Michelle Sagara. Looked up books, and the series is the Elantra series.
These follow the adventures of Private Kaylin Neya, a young woman who serves the Hawks in the towering Halls of Law. She’s Elantra’s version of a police officer, a mortal in a city ruled by Dragons.
