==Role in the GASEverse==
===CURRENT ROLE===
Going by her full name ironically, she's a tomboyish and snarky, but gleefully mage in which she tempts to fight back assholish bullies, even her menacing opponents, and certain rivals of hers. However, she's not even afraid to insult anyone that comes in her way.
Despite her tomboyishness, she has a bit of a rough etiquette, as she hates perfecting it most of the time.
She's a part of The Popping Puzzle A-Quads, alongside with Amitie and Ringo Andou, with Ally being the rare and 4th member ever since.
She currently resides in the rare village of Veneficiis, which is about a couple of miles away from Primp Town, where Amitie resides in.
===BACKSTORY===
Years ago, she was self-taught in a magic kindergarten, at the age of 4-10 (6 in that case). Until the end of her school year, she took her last exam at a tower, and succeeded it. As of this, she was graduated from school and was given an award for being one of the best students here. Years have passed, and she was still going on exams at whichever schools she attended in.
Apart from being a trained mage since kindergarten, she formerly lives in a random normal village of Veneficiis in a log cabin as daughter of two necromancers. But after one disastrous situation that happened, her father had to go out there alone to find out who caused the natural disaster or so; her mother was killed during this, in which Arle sadly mourned for. Years have passed, and her father was continuously missing...
Before her father was missing and her mother killed of the disaster, Arle was told that she has to wear blue in honor of them, but mainly of her father, since that she cared for him most. Gladly, her home still remained one piece, because of the indestructibility magic.
However, civilization was rebuilt; as of thought, Arle has been living alone for many years in her cabin due to her parents' disappearances. However, she took lots of self-care, like cooking curry, trading money for the things she needed for her cabin, and even bathing herself, which are good things for her, exactly.
After living alone in safety, she decided to go outside for a stroll, until she met Carbuncle, the yellow rabbit creature with a red gem on his head. She was told by him that he was missing and Satan had to find him. And before you knew it, long story short, Arle had to adopt Kaa-kun as of her being the current owner of him by far.
Later on, after meeting with her classmates she remembered in kindergarten, eventually Miyo at first, she met Kerajaan II, an orphan and next generation "knight" in Veneficiis, claiming as her childhood classmate. However, proving who has the most powerful magic, they sometimes go on friendly battles. Sadly, Arle had to set limits on using her magic power, if a few battles take too long.
Days have passed, and self-care was hard work for Arle. However, living in a log cabin seemed boring for her, so within any thoughts, she'd rather move herself to a new home here in Veneficiis, but due to honor of her parents, she wasn't ready, nor in the mood to move, yet. Eventually, she'll have to think about it before she could soon...
===FANSERVICE===
In some T-to-M-rated media of GASE, she contains a few sexual innuendoes, containing in some parts / cutscenes, like only wearing undergarments for example. As of wearing some other outfits in those, some pantyshots may occur as well.
She wasn't much included in the UNSAFER side of the GASEverse fan-community, but she's seen / drawn in fan-media, mating with Ringo.
However, in most media, especially Nintendo titles and the E-rated ones, she mainly wears blue bike spats underneath, in part of (one of) her main outfits.
==IN-GAME ROLES==
===IN GENERAL / CANON:===

She was originally owned by COMPILE since 1989 in the canon, before the company struggled of bankruptcy; the Madou era cast of Puyo Puyo, and even Arle herself, had their last appearance in Madou Monogatari in 2005, before they were absent in 2013; alongside with (almost) all of the official COMPILE cast, SEGA and Sonic Team are her current owners since around 1998 and 2001 respectively.

==Appearances / Design==
Arle is a light-skinned young adult; she has golden eyes, and even long light brown hair. 
===MAIN ATTIRE===
====Outfit #1 - in honor of her father====
As of some of her hair being tied into a ponytail with a big dark blue scrunchie, her main attire consists of a short sleeved detailed pale-whitish-periwinkle shirt with matching arm / legwarmers, a dark blue skirt with white trims with matching shoes, pale dark purple fingerless gloves and socks, and a raspberry / blue cape. Alongside with those, her armor set is a breastplate, fauld, and pauldrons, matching the same light blue color. Apparently, most of her outfit and armor are decorated with gold rings / trim and red gems, as a finishing touch.
An alternative variant of her first main outfit gives out slighter changes, as of her shirt and probably the gold / red decor for example; her armor was tweaked with new detail and trim, included with a matching tiara-like accessory on her head, and her cape was given out a different style, as it's held by a sapphire pearl button. Her hand gear and footwear can be optionally changed as well, as of wearing dark blue knee-high boots, and matching fingerless gloves instead, complete with the same decor stated as usual. In some media, her armor could have a darker blue shade.
====Outfit #2 - in honor of her mother | Casual Robe====
Basically a hooded robe in equivalent to her OG Dark form's attire, but with a bit of minor changes to it. The hairstyles are optional when she wears this, whether if tied up in a ponytail, or left down loose.
That robe she currently wears was her mother's that she was given before she was murdered, in which Arle is in honor of.
===ALTERNATIVE OUTFITS===
====Winter Break / Christmas event====
In contrast to her OG appearance, Arle dons an ice blue dress and a darker shaded hooded capelet, alongside with matching mittens and shoes, a white belt, and white tights, giving out white fluffy detail. Her hair is down loose in style, and is given a pair of light blue pauldrons with silver trim.
====Sleepwear====
Her sleepwear consists of a short-sleeved blue nightgown with white detailed sleeves; optional footwear is of white house shoes.
====GASE プロレス! event====
Arle dons a white-periwinkle shirt with a blue turtleneck, complete with a matching gymnast-esque brief. Complete with blue fingerless gloves, white loose socks, and blue detailed sneakers, she also wears an armor set, which is a single pauldron and breastplate, sided on the left, and given a light blue shade and gold detail.
Her hair is tied up into a ponytail as her main hairstyle to the outfit.
===OTHER FORMS===
====Azure Brawl Arle (紺碧の乱闘アルル)====
Arle's evolved form, as of mentioned in 7 and FeverGen. She transforms into this when she equipped the Sapphire Shin Pads (サファイアシンパッド). The multiverse counterpart to Arle ver. Battle.
Her hair now being loose and long, her design of this form consists of a dark-light sleeveless zipper hoodie, and a bikini brief, complete with a dark shaded belt around her waist. She wears arm-warmers complete with red fingerless gloves, and pale leg-warmers in which they're under her differently detailed boots. She even wears silver hand gauntlets detailed with red gems. If you're talking about most of this outfit's color, it still has its blue color scheme, however.
An alternative variant of this outfit consists of this: long dark gray fingerless gloves, matching high-thigh socks, and a different patterned hoodie within a stripy pattern and such, alongside with her boots containing this.
The Sapphire Shin Pads that she's wearing are of a set of elbow / knee armor, complete with the light blue hue and silver trims. The white ribbon, however, is tied on her left upper arm, over her arm warmer.
==Abilities==
As of the original Madou / Puyo-lore ever since, Arle is stated an elemental mage. Her spells, however, are...
Set of Arle's spells / attacks
Diacute 	Increases her magic strength
Fire / Fireball 	Casts one, or a bunch of fireballs from her hand, causing to burn the opponent
Ice Storm 	Casts an ice spell, depicting snowflakes or a blizzard to freeze the opponent, just to name a few...
Healing 	Heals not only herself, but others as well
Braindumbed / Braindamned	Dissolves the brain of, or... recently safely brainwashes, the opponent
Thunder 	Electric-type spell; zaps the opponent
Jugem 	Marked as her most powerful attack out of her set of spells, but it doesn't usually have an element
Speed Up / Slow Down 	a spell relating to time / motion; causes her to move quicker or slow down opponents / her target
Heedon 	Trances and dazes the opponent to long rest, depicting sheep during the process
Warp 	Teleports herself (with optionally anything else) anywhere
Revia (formerly Shield) 	Counters the opponent's attack; uses it as a shield
Heaven Ray 	Causes holy beams from beneath Arle's feet, but also to lift her up
Owanimo 	Teleports more than one item of the same color or converts them into pure energy; happens in most the franchises' games however
Bayoen 	Distracts the opponent with flowers for a long / short time; shares this spell with Amitie
Besides those enlisted, she'll suddenly injure herself, get affected with those causes, or, optionally, run out of magic power if she overuses them on purpose. As of this, her magic power is limited unless she restocks the amount she recently needed.
==Relationships==
===MAIN FRANCHISE RELATIONSHIPS===
====Amitie Taiyo====
Arle's SEGA-era counterpart of the poppin' puzzle franchise. She and Amitie have been basically similar to each other, in which they're both elemental mages and share their signature move together. About it, they both first met when Arle visited to Primp Town, followed by a fair, friendly Puyo battle.
A specific state out is this is that Amitie is secretly crushing on her, but not actually since that she mainly dates Sig.
====Ringo Andou====
Down-to-earth redhead of Suzuran; Arle and Ringo first met in Veneficiis, as of teaching Ringo how to Puyo Pop, due to curiosity and trying new things, after realizing how unique Ringo was.
Overall, Arle and Ringo have been secretly crushing on each other for a while.
====Satan (Dark Prince)====
Creator of Puyo Hell and Arle's main antagonist. However, because of refusal of going out with him, not because she hated him, but it's because she thinks that he annoys her, with his obsession of the blue mage. Satan on his perspective, sometimes wanted to let Arle join forces with him, by trying to control / “kill” her and destroy those who oppose to him.
====Kerajaan II====
Not much of a knight, but secondary swordsman of Veneficiis. Kera, however, was Arle's childhood frenemy, as they both challenge friendly battles to prove who has the most powerful magic, not because Kera is a pervert like Schezo, but because he was jealous of her, apparently from the start.
====Miyo Arisu====
Golden-colored mage and neighbor next door. She is one of Arle's childhood classmates, in which they met from kindergarten and sat next to each other years ago.
====Carbuncle====
Arle's yellow rabbit creature pet, depicting herself as his current owner, with Satan being former.
====Draco Centauros and Witch Manimekala====
Mighty Chinese Brawn and Brainy Comet Mage; Arle's side-rivals born and raised somewhere other than Veneficiis.
For Draco, she consults Arle as proving who has the most beauty, whilst for Witch, whoever has the most magic power.
====Madou / COMPILE-era ARS====
=====Rulue=====
Veneficiis' personal Combat Queen and Arle's one-side rival. In some times, Rulue mostly wants to fight for Satan, depicting of selfishness and jealousy; either way, Arle doesn't despise her too much, as if she sometimes needed Rulue's help and support to stop bigger situations.
=====Schezo Wegey=====
The perverted dark swords-mage, but also (one of) Arle's colleague(s). However, his poor sayings make her (and even the others) uncomfortable, thinking that he's a pervert / creeper. Despite this, she purposely beheaded him once back when they first met, which were followed by an actual fight; that was before he was recovered by Arle.
===CROSSOVER EVENT RELATIONSHIPS===
====Vanellope von Schweetz (Wreck-it Ralph / Sugar Rush)====
Glitchy and mischevious, but curious racer and ruler of TobiKomi's Sugar Rush. Arle and Vanellope are of a similar personality in hindsight, no wonder the two became fast friends.
During Arle's secret adventure in Veneficiis, she encountered the glitchy racer, as she was feeling curious about this place. However, as of telling Arle that she's a racer, Vanellope was told to try new things besides racing, by teaching her how to Puyo Pop. Vanellope manages to beat Arle, so now it's Arle's turn to learn something different, Racing. But on the Highway-Esque race track, Arle suffers motion sickness and nearly crashed, that is, until Vanellope saved Arle by brake-checking the blue mage.
====Lip Kyodai (Panel de Pon)====
The Flower Guardian of Popples; Arle's friendly corporate rival of the puzzle series.
Their teams have been battling out on a stadium before they became more of friends.
==Creator's Notes and Trivia==
===(SOME OF) THE CREATOR'S NOTES:===
Anyway, my series design of Arle Nadja, as she is portrayed as a young adult.
Sadly, I'm unsure about her design, and it almost looked similar to the original Arle, so I had to combine her 7 Deka design with her beta Quest Attire, and give it some changes. I mean… I'm not wrong with this tho…
===TRIVIA===
*Some of her (main) outfits are referenced to her OG counterpart's (alter) appearances by games:
**Her first main outfit is somewhat an amalgamation of her Deka form in 7 and her beta PuyoQue attire, optionally setting up with a hint of a Yo~n vibe to it.
***An alt. variant might consider this as well, as of with a bit of some MadouSaturn elements.
**Her second main outfit is referenced from her Dark form's appearance.
*Because of the previous seiyuu voicing Arle back when COMPILE owned her, she is currently voiced by Mie Sonozaki, who also voiced Klug as well.
*Her favorite food is curry, which it was mentioned in most of the content.
*Arle, however, suffers from motion sickness in some times around, somehow, mainly carsickness.
**Luckily, she was given medicines to cure it, even her nausea.
*Stating that she wears the same outfit in a year by her original canon counterpart, in the multiverse, she has a personal extended closet of her own, aside with her first main outfit, and of consisting new clothes.
*Because of Arle's localized name "Silvana", in the English (bootleg) variant of Puyo '92, it's confirmed as her middle name.
