== General Knowledge ==
=== Attributes ===
* Species: Hybrid Human-Goddess Video Game Character
* Age: Ageless (Appears 19, Immortal/Alive)
* Job: Video Game Protagonist, Future Goddess of Bravery
=== Appearance ===
Arle is physically portrayed as a 19 year old young woman donning a Brunette Ponytail hairstyle with a Blue hair bow, a Sleeveless shirt with Shoulders+Breast+Stomach Armor set, a blue miniskirt, a dark red cape, blue eyes and blue shoes. Underneath her clothing are usually a Striped blue bra and Striped light blue panties (Or Black Tank Tops and Bike Shorts in games rated E by ESRB or A by CERO).
Alternate outfits include a Gym-Uniform set with only a Left Shoulder+Breast armor and blue high leg bloomers; a Blue and White competition Swimsuit; and an Armored Leotard for her first Super form: Light Arle (Which includes a Triple-blade Sword and a Shield, and she grows Angel Wings.). But she also wears something not blue: a Dark Turquoise Sailor school uniform.
Arle has a Super Form called Light Arle, wearing a blue leotard, double-color wings, fights with a Tri-Blade sword and Shield.
=== Personality ===
Arle is portrayed as being a sarcastic deadpan snarker who has no problem in giving insults to those against her and her friends. However she has a soft spot for Draco, Witch and Harpy though. Her deadpan lifestyle also rubs in to other characters she encountered like Amitie whom Arle at first thinks is an Arle Wannabe, and Ringo who apparently is dead set on fighting her.
== Portrayals ==
=== In Canon (Actually Galaga Alternate Timeline) Puyo Puyo games ===
Arle's portrayal change starts in Fever, however, she has a change in Puyo Puyo SUN. In said third Puyo Puyo game, Arle wears a Swimsuit in the entirety of the game due to the summer theme, and she gets to swim through the sea just to encounter Dark Prince (In the Gala Stories his name was changed to Dragon Emperor) Due to her being close friends with Draco, Witch and Harpy in the Galaga Universe rather than with Schezo or Rulue due to their heated rivalries against Arle, the latter three also wear swimsuits.
Puyo Puyo Fever is where things start to get interesting. Arle, Draco, Witch and Harpy all transferred to Primp Town to continue their studies, and Arle sees Amitie an annoying wannabe at first, but gains a soft spot for Amitie later on.
=== Super Smash Bros. Series (Ultimate Debut) ===
Debuting in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Galaga!Heroverse version, Arle is Fighter Number 83 after Sora of Kingdom Hearts. Arle comes with TWO Echo Fighters Amitie and Ringo.Puyo Puyo characters share one special gimmick, which is:
==== Gimmick! ====
This gimmick is SHARED amongst ALL Puyo Puyo Fighters. So basically, if you play as Arle, you can INCREASE Damage being dealt to an Enemy or someone by doing Chained Attacks in under 3 seconds, and there is a Chain Counter in your Puyo Puyo fighter's Icon, which starts at Zero and increases by one point for your NEXT attack Under 3 seconds. The counter can go to only 999. So yeah basically Puyo Puyo characters can assault people and make them suffer extreme pain by attacking quickly, guess you shouldn't have prevented them from killing someone after all.
==== Basic Attacks! ====
Arle has a 3-Hit Basic Combo: First is Right Handed Punch, Second is Left Handed Chop, and Third is a Right Legged Kick to someone's nuts. For a Dash Attack, Arle rolls forward and then performs a Speed Kick.
==== Tilts! ====
Arle's Forward Tilt is shoving a colored Puyo into someone's face. Her Upper Tilt is Uppercutting someone with TWO colored Puyos in her right hand. and her Lower Tilt is Spinning-Kick someone to trip them over.
==== Charged! ====
Arle's Forward Charge/Smash Attack is a Powerful Fire Fist Punch (Sets someone on fire). Her Upper Charge/Smash Attack is an Ice Thorn Uppercut (Freeze)
=== Gala Stories ===
Arle was a daughter of two loving parents, but her mother died when she was newborn, which was caused by a massive attack, that also killed her father. Arle's mother requested the Doctors and Nurses to raise Arle. This is because Arle's mother was an Assassination target by an unknown enemy who joined the attackers. The Doctors and Nurses agreed, and they evacuate as Arle's mother was murdered by getting shot in the face by an evil space marine using a Gatling Gun, while Arle's father was killed by being beheaded by another space marine using a bloodshot red colored Sword.
The doctors and nurses take good care of Arle, and gave her love, as if she was their own daughter, but at the age of 4, Arle requested that she would be let go, because of the weight that her caregivers have to go through. The doctors and nurses agree, and they also tell Arle that she can look for them for free, due to her being the daughter of two War Veterans. And as Arle left her caregivers, she goes on her dangerous adventure and practices magic not only to survive, but to also live.
Over the course of about 5 years, Arle joined a Magic School, where she battled against monsters in towers and kills demons in the Underground caves, She graduated when she was 9, and she continues on her adventures where she fought many other people, and made friends with three young girls: Draco Centauros the humanoid dragon girl whom Arle has beauty contests with, Witch the witch (Well, literally the name and position), and Harpy the Angel. Of the many magic she's learnt, the art of Puyo Popping is her main method of magic (The franchise's gameplay in general), and she also befriends Carbuncle the yellow rabbit-esque alien with a foreheaded Star gem whom she saved by pulling his tail as a means to help him get out of a tree.
== Relationships ==
=== Draco Centauros, Himiko "Witch" Kishimojin, Haruka "Harpy" Tenshi-Yama and Carbuncle ===
Draco, Witch and Harpy are Arle's Best Friends in the Galaga Universe's take on Puyo Puyo and the Gala Stories fan series since Day One of Puyo Puyo. Arle and Draco love taking part in Beauty contests; Arle learns the art of Potion magic from Witch; and apparently singing beeps-and-boops in Sing-Offs or Rap battles against Harpy, and the four of them truly are best buds. Carbuncle is also close to Arle just like in canon only he is capable of speaking English and wears a tank top.
=== Schezo Wegey and Rulue ===
Arle and her friends' major rivals who are Boastful Egocentric snobs.
=== The Dragon Emperor ===
Basically Galaga!Heroverse's version of the Dark Prince. The Dragon Emperor is the Main Antagonist AND Villain of the Puyo Puyo franchise. He is the Creator of Puyo Puyo Hell. Unlike his common version, The Dragon Emperor is MUCH MORE SERIOUS, THREATENING and MENACING, that even a mention of his name can strike LEGITIMATE FEAR into anyone. But despite his aura, there is quite plenty of Humanity on him. For example, he treats his army like real people, and is a Reasonable Authority Figure, and never berates anyone on his army simply for losing in battles. His interests in girls wearing skimpy bikinis are still present, but he never talks about it nonstop, and he has NO reason to simp for Arle because The Dragon Emperor has a grudge against Arle's Parents AND the King of Prism Land, who despite being a good guy, is a bit of a jerky manchild.
=== Amitie Tamashiro ===
Amitie is one of the early people Arle made friends with, starting to meet one another at 15 years old, only Amitie was 14 at that time, making the blonde red-hat sorceress younger than Arle. The two became close friends, and Amitie also admires Draco, Witch, and Harpy (The Singing Angel sings in the style of Friday Night Funkin' BTW.) Arle and Amitie do fight one another from time to time, but only because they find battles amusing. Their first race using cars was in Chapter 1 Episode 1 as revealed that they are driving the two Sports Cars after their Puyo Battle that ended in a Tie in front of thousands of people.
=== Ringo Andou ===
Ringo is also one of Arle's friends, but the two encounter during the first leg of Gala Stories. Ringo is older than Arle and Amitie, starting at 20 years old while Arle started as 19 and Amitie as 18. Ringo is also the driver of the mysterious Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. In Puyo Puyo, Ringo and Arle are Frenemies like Sonic and Knuckles or Shadow. Ringo was on a mission to hunt down someone screwing up with her, and initially thought Arle and Amitie were the someone she marks as her target. This raised tensions, and as the saying goes, Blue and Red are Opposites, so it's natural that Arle and Ringo are heated rivals. This was Deliberate because virtually no one was able to give Arle a run for her money. Amitie had that potential but she just wouldn't fight someone just because she wants to, so Sega's decision? Make a new protagonist that is WILLING to actually Outdo Arle. So yeah, Puyo Puyo 7's story is rather, personal.
=== Ralph S. Reilly ===
Ralph is Arle's adoptive father after the events of Chapters 6, 7, and 8. This is because Arle lived too long as an orphan and had been surviving as herself, and being accompanied by Carbuncle isn't enough. With this in mind, Arle would get herself an adopted sister.
=== Vanellope Von Schweetz ===
Racer from Sugar Rush Speedway (series) and is, metaphorically speaking, like a sister to Arle.
=== Tulippa Florashire ===
Tulippa Florashire is Arle's rival, no more no less. Current information is unavailable at this moment of time.
== Trivia ==
* Just like any Video Game protagonist, Arle is an Immortal being, only on a different medium: A Physical God due to her in Galaga!Heroverse lore being CONFIRMED as a Full-Copy of Lilith, Dragon Emperor's wife, who in Galaga!Heroverse is missing in one of the Alternate Dimensions. She shares this trait with Amitie and Ringo, both of which are Physical Gods themselves. Crossover stories confirm their GODLIKE statuses through interactions with guys like Rosalina and Lady Palutena, and even Kratos (God of War) of all people.
* Light Arle is Arle's Battle Outfit in her God form, while the God form's casual outfit is a vanilla bikini, making her basically Valkyrie Arle Sexy Style.
* Whenever Arle gets beheaded or dismembered, for half a second, the dismembered head or body part rejoined her, mostly due to black comedy effect.
* Arle's most powerful form: Arle ver. Locomotive, is triggered whenever she is extremely fucking pissed. According to the SEGA Multiverse information, Arle's locomotive form was caused by some stupid dum-dum accidentally injecting her with Chaos Energy, apparently. Not even Arle can explain it, nor is she aware of the whole thing, because whenever Arle transforms into her Locomotive form, she has a completely new personality that is NOT hers.
