Acolyte Aria

Acolyte Aria is one of Venus' worshippers, living in the eastern part of the Golden Settlement. Her job includes guarding the passage to Golden Hills, organizing the Harvest Festival and performing its ritual. After the team beats her in the sparring match, Venus' opens the way to the Golden Hills, allowing them to eventually gain the Ancient Tablet. She is also part of the quest Team Snakemouth... later on.
== Personality ==
Aria lives a secluded lifestyle, spending all her time serving Venus.
According to her diary, she had a crisis of faith within her youth and didn't believe in Venus for that time period, even during her priestess training. However, just when she was about to leave Golden Settlement and find work elsewhere, she personally saw Venus at Golden Hills' summit, changing her view completely.
== Battle Information==
In battle, Aria perches on a vine which must be damaged to knock her down to ground level. Only two members of Team Snakemouth may fight her, one of which must be Kabbu. During her battle, she can summon vines to attack the party, or increase her attack or defense stats. While on her vine perch, she can also jump off and deal a drop kick that deals large damage to a single party member.
After reaching a certain health threshold, she will summon a Venus' Bud.
== Trivia ==
* Aria is fought with a full team in her B.O.S.S. rematch. She also doesn't start the fight on a vine.
*The fact that she is a Mantis and a Worshipper may be play on words for "Praying Mantis".
*It is implied that she used to be the bar keep for the bar below the sunset inn before being replaced by Tim."I was once told the bartender of this settlement was an energetic mantis lady. Suffice to say, this fellow cannot be her." - Kabbu's overworld spy dialogue for Tim
