A rather opinionated child, Ariana is a soul who prefers her own company. It's not that she doesn't like other plumies, it's just that she loves stillness and solitude, something not often found at social events. Especially when you are a kid. Ariana was born old, you could say; much preferring activities like reading poetry and watching documentaries on architecture than running around like a headless chicken and stuffing herself with candy. She still exhibits certain childlike traits though; not knowing when to keep her mouth shut, the irrational fear of monsters under the bed and a compelling curiosity.
ImageImageImage

It is this curiosity that drives her whole character, motivates her beyond any reward or prize. The constant, pressing need to know things. To know why the earth is round, why the sky is blue. Even as a very young plumie Ariana was constantly on the search for the answer to anything and everything she did not understand. And in school, she is always in the library, reading, learning, devouring knowledge like a succulent piece of steak. (From her attitude toward learning, you would think she excelled in school wouldn't you? Well um. Think again. But that's a story for another time)
ImageImageImage

But as flattering as that aspect of her is, let's face it; she's pretty vulgar. Blunt, intolerant, stubborn and sarcastic are just a few of her charming traits. Not to mention her wide vocabulary of colorful insults. Despite her shortcomings though, which make her come across as a rude little you-know-what, she really does care about others. She just doesn't sugarcoat things. At all. No one in their right mind would employ her as a lawyer, let's just put it that way. Her compassion lies thinly veiled beneath her exterior, and if push comes to shove she will always help those in need. Just don't expect her to tell you it's going to be alright when it very clearly isn't.

favorite saying;;

"'Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.' You know that is actually the full version of the idom? Lots of people don't, but yeah. Another of my favourites is 'The blood of the convent is thicker than the water of the womb.' Geez there are so many of these."
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


positive traits;;

╔════════════════════════════════════════════╗
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcurious;; --->
As mentioned above, Ariana is forever investigating the world around
her. She shows a particular fondness toward all things skyward; stars,
moon, sun, planets and whatever else might be lurking in the black
beyond. Forever asking away, her constant queries can get a bit
annoying. Often people warn her to keep her feathers out of things
they don't belong in, saying, "Curiosity killed the cat!", to which she
rolls her eyes and replies, "Yeah, but satisfaction brought it back."
(This is the legit full quote)
╚════════════════════════════════════════════╝

╔════════════════════════════════════════════╗
xxxxxxxxxx<--- determined;;
Call determination good or bad, the ability to know what you want
and see it through is a rare and good thing in todays world. Well, at
least that's what Ariana thinks. Whether it be something as little as
making breakfast, or something big like deciding her occupation,
once she has made up her mind she will do everything in her power to
see it through. She hates to leave a task unfinished too; she's a bit
obsessive compulsive in that way. Ariana has also sucessfully managed
to keep a daily diary for many years now, unlike so many others who
have tried and failed. Maybe determination is good when applied
to a useful task.
╚════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Image


╔════════════════════════════════════════════╗
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcompassionate;; --->
Ariana really does care about other plumies. She really does. It's just
that most of the time she is unsure on how to show it. She doesn't want
to be one of those gushing plumerians, throwing complements around
so much that they eventually mean nothing. Not does she want to appear
soft and sensitive, hugging everyone and speaking quietly. So she goes
about it in her own way, complementing people when they actually
deserve it and participating in what she deems worthy causes.
╚════════════════════════════════════════════╝


Image

╔════════════════════════════════════════════╗
xxxxxxxxxxx<--- intelligent;;
Though it seems boastful to admit, and if there's one thing Ariana
despises it's boasting, even she has to acknowledge that she has
brains in that little head of hers. And pretty good ones at that. As
mentioned earlier, you would think this means she excels in school,
(or high school) but she really just can't be bothered wasting her
brainpower on things like maths ("Boring!") or social studies
("Depressing.") or history ("That stuff happened ages ago."). She is much
more interested in applying herself to real world situations, and
learning to be quick thinking and intuitive.
╚════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Image

╔════════════════════════════════════════════╗
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxrespectful;; --->
However rude and opinionated she may sometimes seem, Ariana is
one of the first to defend others rights and respect their point of view.
After all, one of the basic plumie rights is to have and hold your own
opinion. Believe in a religion? That's fine with her. An Eco head? Sure!
Want to be a pop star? Whatever you wish to do. Think that a certain
gender takes priority? Well, she's less okay with that, but she won't
force you to believe otherwise.
╚════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Image

╔════════════════════════════════════════════╗
xxxxxxxxxxx<--- easygoing;;
Though only when she feels like it, Ariana can sometimes be quite
content to "Go with the flow." As long as she isn't directly involved,
plumies can sort out their own problems as far as she's concerned.
Of course, she has to know the problem, but apart from that,
do whatever the heck you want. Life turns in a big circle, and she
won't stop it spinning. She also just likes to watch people argue but
that's beside the point. She could be a zen master if she wasn't so um,
herself.
╚════════════════════════════════════════════╝


Image


Image


_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

outlook on life;;

"I really don't know. I mean, how do you sum up your whole view on life in a sentence? Umm well I guess I think life is pretty great, all in all. Sure it's bad sometimes but it's also good. I'm not planning on leaving it soon, that's for certain."
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


negative traits;;

╔════════════════════════════════════════════╗
xxxxxxxxxxx<--- blunt;;
You want it straight? Good. You don't? Well too bad, you're going to
get it anyway. Ariana is certainly not one to beat around the bush.
She has no time for fancy words or long winded explanations, because
really, saying 'He has passed on to another life' means exactly the
same as 'He died.' The first just uses more hot air. Call it offensive
and rude? "That's how the world works buddy." However, she
is a terrible liar, and you can always tell when she is not telling the
truth.
╚════════════════════════════════════════════╝


Image

╔════════════════════════════════════════════╗
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxintolerant;; --->
As much as Ariana respects others and their opinions, if you attempt
to shove your way of life down her throat, she'll have none of it. Not
a single inch, centimeter or micrometer. She has no patience for
plumies who act like that, and she certainly won't tolerate it. Yeah
she's not really big on second chances either. You toe the line, and
that's it. (Though truthfully her grudges don't last long, it's not fun
being her enemy. Even for a short period.) She also can't stand
unnecessary violence, but that is more caring than intolerant.
╚════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Image


╔════════════════════════════════════════════╗
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxdisregard for authority;;
Also known as a delinquent. Though Ariana doesn't go out beating
people up and spraying graffiti tags on old bridges, she certainly fits
the rest of the description. Though she understands that there has to
be some sort of authority figure in the world, she still finds
teachers, businessmen, politicians and the like annoying, to say the
least. To her, they just suck the joy out of everything; forcing
strict discipline onto everyone. It just makes you want to rebel.
She is really a teacher's worst nightmare; refusing to pay attention,
not raising her hand or participating, meeting glares with an infurating
smirk and raised eyebrow. She has been in detention more times than
she can remember, and is regarded as a bit of a legend by the other
students.
╚════════════════════════════════════════════╝



Image


╔════════════════════════════════════════════╗
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxstubborn;;
Though determination is an admirable trait, sometimes Ariana takes it
too far and becomes just plain stubborn. Though it doesn't happen too
often, only when she gets really frustrated or is trying to prove a point,
it is quite hard to reason with her. She can go for hours without doing
what the offending plumie has told her, or hours without talking. She
hates to lose see, and it is a very rare occasion that she backs down or
admits she was wrong, even if she knew it all along. Just...maybe try
not to annoy her?
╚════════════════════════════════════════════╝


Image


╔════════════════════════════════════════════╗
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxreckless;;
Though she isn't reckless as in, 'oh lets stand on the railing on the 70th
floor of this building and watch what happens,' Ariana is still quite a risk
taker. She is always on the lookout for something new and dangerous to
try. Motorbike? Yes please. Skydiving? Hell yeah. Gymnastics? I won't
break my neck! Going onto potentially risky and virus infested websites?
Why not. And, as already mentioned, she has no problem with getting in
trouble with 'The Authorities,' so she has no fear of punishment either.
The only risky things she will refuse to do however, are ones that put
others at risk, because she doesn't want to deal with that trauma if
something goes wrong.
╚════════════════════════════════════════════╝

best advice ever given to her;;

"Oh geez um. Well I do- hey who wrote these questions anyway? You couldn't go with the simple 'favorite color, favorite food' nooo. You had to go with the hard ones! Fine, fine I'll think of an answer. Well, once Prisque told me to 'Live life like there's no tomorrow.' It wasn't made up by her I don't believe, but I think it's still some pretty good advice."

Image
other tidbits;;

★ she has no religion, but likes the idea of buddhism
★ she ran away from home when she was 13, and now lives with a family friend
★ she is a big procrastinator, and it takes her forever to start on things
★ she fiddles with her feathers and ears when she is nervous
★ she is incredibly sarcastic, and it can be hard sometimes to tell if she is serious or not
★ she works at a store that sells designer scarves and winter attire

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

aspirations;;

"To be rich? Haha I dunno, I haven't really thought about it all that much. Maybe to work at NASA? I'd love to operate those photographic telescopes too. Oh man that would be so cool. Or to do professional ice skating. I'm pretty easy."

Image
stargazing;;
    Though this may seem a fairly obvious hobby, not many plumerians actually know the real passion Ariana has for astronomy. Especially stars and everything associated with them. She has certainly spent more than one dusk-till-dawn charting the constant patterns of the moving constellations. She loves the idea that they are a time machine of sorts, as the light from the stars has taken millions of years to reach Earth. "To gaze upon the sky is to peer into the past," is how she likes to put it. One of her favourite moments so far was when she witnessed the birth of a nebula.
photography;;
    This is certainly Ari's more widely known passion. Carrying her camera everywhere, she is constantly whipping it out to snap a pic. One of her cameras that is. She has a few. She has her regular (rather out-dated) Nikon that she loves, because she picked it up in a thrift shop and it still takes pretty good photos. Then there is her video camera, her phone, a little digital waterproof camera, and a Go-pro, which is her pride and joy. Prisque also occasionally lets her borrow her big 'Professional Camera' with all its fancy lenses. Oh how she loves that thing. But the camera she wants the most is a polaroid. She wants one so bad, and has been saving up for years. Well, her birthday is coming up in a few months! Who knows, maybe she'll finally get one.
reading;;
    Ariana loves to keep a few books tucked away for a rainy day (or even a sunny one), and can sometimes spend hours scanning rows of text. She doesn't really like all books though; only fiction. Unless its a really interesting biography or a guide to photography, drawing or astronomy, she can't be bothered with non-fiction. It's the fantastical, far fetched plots she loves. She especially like to read fantasy before she hits the hay; it gives her something to dream about. She may not be the worlds biggest book nerd, but let me tell you, she sure isn't far away. She doesn't really fit the stereotype however; in fact, she much prefers listening to audiobooks over reading. People accuse her of not being a 'true fan,' which she thinks is ridiculous. She knows the plotline of Harry Potter way better than them anyways.
drawing;;
    Before you read any further, don't have any high expectations. Ari is certainly no classy artist. She simply loves to doodle and sketch. Mainly in her schoolbooks. Mainly in her math book. After all, it's not like those are skills she cares particularly about. Her friends tell her she is a fantastic drawer, but Ari just laughs because though she is no where near the worst, there are many much much better than her. She has tumblr, after all., and follows more than one artist. Being able to draw moderately has turned out to be quite a useful skill however; it certainly aids her with drawing star maps and touching up her photographs in Photoshop. If she practiced, she could probably improve her skill, but she doesn't have the patience for that sort of thing.
garage band;;
    A rather nifty little program on MacBooks (and more recently, iPhones), this app allows you to create full pieces of music...without actually knowing how to play an instrument. Though you would think a single program hardly counts as a hobby, when you spend as much time and effort as Ari on it, it really does become one. She has created a countless number of songs on it, and some are really quite pretty. She has even released a small album on ITunes. Though it hasn't sold much, it makes her feel kind of satisfied. That doesn't mean Ari is at all considering a career in DJing though. No, don't get that idea at all. (Though she has to admit that would be pretty cool.)
ice skating;;
    Though it seems rather odd in comparison to her other interests, Ice Skating is one of Ari's larger passions. She is a regular at her local rink, and has perfected many difficult manoeuvres like loop jump and backwards skating. Her skill level is neat Olympic, but she doesn't really let anyone know about this, because then they would insist she went to competions. And she doesn't want that. For her, ice skating is a hobby, not a prize to be won. Whenever she goes out skating with friends she pretends to be a lot worse than she is; the only plumie who knows her real level of skill is Akemi, because how could she not?

relationships

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Image
chihiro - female - 'aunt'/friend - kiruraki
__________________________________________
Chihiro isn't really Ari's aunt. She just views her as
that kind of a figure. It mainly has to do with the
fact the Chihiro is a friend of Prisque's, so you
know. Family imitation sort of thing. Ariana tells
Chihiro she would make a great real auntie one
day, cause she knows how to have a little fun.
Image
prisque - female - adoptive mother - nyako
__________________________________________
As noted above, Ari ran away from home when she
was pretty young, and at 12 it can be quite hard to
survive on your own. Luckily, Prisque was a family
friend of hers, and understood that the situation at
home was becoming a little tense. So she took
Ariana in, and became an adoptive mom to her.







Image
lillian - female - friend's mother - lilloa
___________________________________________
Lillian is Akemi's mum, so it makes sense that Ari
has some kind of relationship with her. They do
see each other at least once a week after all.
Akemi says Lillian is a bit embarrassing, but Ari
thinks she's pretty cool. She is always happy to
go to their house to hang out.
Image
zerrin - male - acquaintance - momotaru
___________________________________________
Though she wouldn't go so far as to call him a
friend, Ari finds that she and Zerrin get along quite
well. They both enjoy quiet company, and have so
become 'study buddies.' Not that Ari really studies.
She finds Zerrin to be downright annoying at times,
but otherwise he is easy enough to deal with.







Image
plumie - female - child friend - thenightsillusion
___________________________________________
We all have childhood friends who we think will be
our 'buds forevzies', but then are forgotten as the
years roll by. Try as she might, Ari cannot recall
this girlies name; which is a little sad as they were
good friends in primary school. Life just got in the
way when they went off to middle school.
Image
milk - male - bro - ittam
___________________________________________
There really is no other way to put it; Milk is her
bro. Or you could say it biffle, bud, partner-in-
crime; well you get the idea. They are mischief
makers to the max, and there is no stunt or
dangerous activity they won't attempt to
accomplish together.








no enemies?

Even the nicest of plumies have an enemy or two, and Ari certainly is nowhere near an angel. So why are there no enemies listed in her relationships? Simple. She doesn't bother getting to know those she doesn't agree with. Or get along with. At all. So she can't possibly have a relationship with them if she knows zilch about their lives.

    Ari, Akemi and Kuro. Also known as AAK (As Akemi likes to call them), the three musketeers (According to Kuro), or Harry, Ron and Hermione (According to Ariana). The three are the best of friends, and have been for a while now. Their friendship has odd beginnings though, and it has become a favourite story of theirs to tell to others.

    Ariana and Akemi have known each other for years. They met in kindergarten, where 'best friends' was as simple as a question and the fact that their names sound similar. But it seems their friendship was the right fit, because they stayed close all through primary school, (and as far through secondary as they have gotten). Helping each other through heartbreak, and getting in on the fun action together, the two are practically like sisters. For a long time it was just them, the dynamic duo. So where does Kurotasu come in?

    It all started really when they were almost fourteen. That stage where everyone decides they are 'mature enough to date.' Yep, Kuro is Akemi's boyfriend. When they first started going out, Ariana was a little suspicious of Kuro (And she often tells him that she still is), so she kept her distance. After much begging from Akemi, she agreed to go to a movie with them one night. And that pretty much sealed the deal. Kuro and Ari got along incredibly well; discovering they had the same taste in almost everything. She was perfectly happy to let him come along when they got together after that night, and soon Kuro became her friend too. Now they do heaps of stuff together, and their group of three just works; none of them are the awkward third friend. Ariana still likes to tease Kuro though, and often says to Akemi, 'Can you take him back to whatever trashcan you found him in?'

note;; I do not own Kurotasu and Akemi. They belong to Lilloa and Spiritwindy
