== Character ==
Ariana is a human-alien hybrid who is curious about her father's race and wants to know more about it.

She befriends the Keroro Platoon and Maya Tsubasa after they protect her from harm.
=== Backstory ===
When Ariana was young, she had trouble fitting in with other kids because she was half-alien. Her father encouraged her to embrace her alien roots while her mother told her to hang on to human customs. One night, Ariana saw something fall from the sky. She went outside to get a better look, and saw that it was a purple Keronian named Garuru. She picked him up and wondered if he was dead, but Garuru woke up and revealed he wasn't dead. After he introduced himself, Ariana decided to take him home so she could help him recover from his crash landing, and he eventually became her new pet.
A few years later, Ariana decided to reveal to Garuru that she was half-alien and demonstrated some of the supernatural powers she developed. She creates a portal to another world and has Garuru go through it with her. They enter the Moon Kingdom where Ariana decides to make a wish for the Moon Goddess. But then, a giant octopus-like alien came out of nowhere and started attacking. Ariana tells Garuru to stay calm, as she would take care of the alien herself. Ariana uses her levitation powers and sings a beautiful, hypnotizing song to calm the alien down so it can leave. Garuru was impressed and asked Ariana if she could use her powers to help him on missions, and so she agreed.
