==Background==

*Hime Shiratori: Aria has always admired Hime ever since she was a child, and believes that her love for Hime is more than anyone else. Hime considers her to be Aikatsu's heaven-sent child, describing her stages as "aurora-like". After inviting her to Japan, Hime later then passes on her brand, My Little Heart, to Aria.
*Yume Nijino: Yume and Aria first met when Yume was training. Aria appears to enjoy being with Yume because of all of the experiences she gathers upon being with her.
*Kirara Hanazono: Kirara was the first Venus Ark student that Aria got to know on personal terms. As such, both of them are on friendly terms with each other, and are often seen together on board Venus Ark.
*Elza Forte: Elza scouted out Aria and invited her to join Venus Ark. Aria accepted her offer mainly because she wanted to know more about different types of Aikatsu and expand her own horizons. She is shown to respect Elza as well, offering the latter a carnation flower in return for accepting her.
