Ariel

Ariel is a candidate of the 105th process.

## Personality

Ariel is friends with fellow candidate Glória Ribeiro, although Ariel spills water on Glória's paper cubes in Fernando's process practice, in a way reminiscent to the cube stealing of season 1.

## Background

During episode 10 Ariel is very much an instigator of the riots when it is unsure if process 105 will take place.

In Season 4, it is revealed that Ariel passed her process, and now acts as one of the proctors to the process as well as Andre's right hand.

## Season Two

### "Chapter 02: Toaster"

After failing his process, Fernando returned to the Offshore, where he spoke to his childhood friend, Glória, and her friend, Ariel, who were preparing for their own upcoming Process. They begged him to help them prepare and he eventually agreed. He had them to a mimicry of the cube test. During the test, Ariel sabotaged Glória by spilling water on her cubes, but true to the actual Process, Fernando said Glória was eliminated while Ariel would continue.

### "Chapter 06: Bottles"

Ariel and Glória continued to work together to prepare for their Process. When Glória struggled to complete a puzzle, Ariel showed her how it was done.

### "Chapter 10: Blood"

On the day their Process was meant to start, Ariel, Glória, and the other 20 year olds went to the Process building, where they were shocked to find themselves shut out. They stormed the building and refused to leave until their Process was started, not knowing that the delay was due to all the Process data being stolen. Just as Marcela gave permission for the guards to fire on the candidates, Nair announced that the Process was ready to begin.

## Season Three

### "Chapter 07: Gardrone"

During the Process, Ariel and Glória both survived to the very end of the testing. When Glória ended up leaving in an attempt to save Fernando's life, Ariel unsuccessfully tried to talk her out of it.

## Season Four

### "Chapter 02: Shock"

Ariel passed her Process and ended up working very closely with André, who had taken over the Process by that point. When the next group of candidates started their Process, she ran a test in which a pair of candidates were strapped to electric chairs and had to maintain the same combined shock, meaning if the other candidate lowered theirs, you had to increase yours or fail the test. After Xavier Toledo and Pedro participated in this test, she told them they had passed.

### "Chapter 03: Fire"

At the end of the first day of the Process, Ariel spoke to André, who told her to get used to tough days because suffering is part of the Process. When Marcela arrived to talk to André, Ariel informed him of her arrival.

### "Chapter 04: Submarine"

When Glória arrived at the Process building, telling Ariel she'd passed the Process a year later. She warned Ariel that she was a different person, but Ariel said she'd done what she needed to do to survive.

### "Chapter 05: Painting"

When the Offshore was destroyed by the pulse, André refused to accept its demise and told Ariel to continue with the Process, making the cubes the next test. When Ariel learned about the Offshore's demise, she sent three submarines to retrieve the residents of the Offshore who needed to be evacuated.

### "Chapter 06: Buttons"

Ariel told André about the problem that were developing, but he refused to accept them and said everything was fine. He ordered them not to let anyone enter or leave the building, even Offshore residents from the submarines. Ariel and Glória talked about the Offshore's contamination and Ariel admitted that she didn't know what to think about it anymore.

Later, Ariel, Glória, and Xavier worked together to save Rafael, Natália, Joana, and Elisa, whom André planned to have the final four candidates kill as their final test. Once they were freed, they all started to escape the Process building, including Ariel, who decided there was nothing left for her there.

### "Chapter 07: Sun"

With all Offshore and Shell residents now in the Inland, the different factions began to fight. After Joana proposed a final test, designed by the Founding Couple, to decide the new way of doing things, things settled as people watched the test unfold. After the test was interrupted just before it ended by Pedro shooting into the crowd, things started to get tense again. Glória stood up and talked about her experience with the Process and the Offshore, but the crowd turned against her and she fled with Ariel. However, the next morning, things were peaceful and everyone entered the Process building to start their new society as Joana had planned.
