=== Relationship with Ellery ===
Ariel has always had a little crush on her friend Ellery Cross as mentioned by Cecil Jr in “A Daydream Before Christmas”. She wasn’t always too certain as she saw him as a close friend at least to her. As she can't talk, she communicates her feelings with Ellery through text about the nature of stuff and things relating to life in general. 
During the Degaldo Christmas Party, she approached Ellery who was alone upstairs messaging him if he wanted to hang out with them, which Ellery obliged through under Mistletoe. They both shared their own opinions about it given it is a “senseless tradition”. Ariel didn’t mind, as long as it was alright with Ellery, which he also didn’t mind. Ariel kissed him on the cheek and the two walked down to the main hall. While Daisy sees this as a matchmaking opportunity to help Ellery to find love after being rejected by Lolli. Emma and Caillou supported this idea as a way to help Ellery move on from Lolli.
On the rooftop patio party during a music sequence, Ariel is seen dancing to the music on her phone while in the background a worried yet confident Ellery along with Daisy approached Ariel and with Daisy’s advice, asked her out with Ariel nodding in agreement. Everyone congratulated them, though Rita and Dora did not accept this news Dora mocked Rita, while Rita tried to stop them, but was stopped by Cecil Jr, Allowing them to share their moment together.
During the preantepenultimate scene of the episode, Ariel is seen asleep and snuggled up next to Ellery with her head on his shoulder while Ellery looks down at her. Ellery then turns his head away in worriment.

== Trivia ==
* A logical lore explanation for why Ariel doesn't talk can relate to personal trauma and or an anxiety disorder known as "Selective Mutism" that can be found in children her age but this may not be true. Classy's explanation is simply because too many girl characters used girl voices, and a quiet character can be more insightful towards their personality.
* She was supposed to appear in Caillou SC1 along with her brother but was cut due to unknown reasons.
