Ariel

Siblings: The True Archangels

**Ariel**, meaning the Lion of God or the Hearth of God, also called the Angel of Leo, is a mighty angel that is both an overseer of nature and the regulator of the underworld.

## Overview

Ariel is believed to be a leader of the Virtue choir of angels; those who govern the order of the physical universe, watching over the sun, moon, stars, and all of the planets, including Earth. For this reason, Ariel is intimately involved in environmentalism. Ariel is said to be involved in guiding one into the realm of fairies and other Genasi. It is also said that aside from the four main archangels, Ariel is one of the few lesser archangels that the great kings of Hell openly fear and wish to avoid a confrontation with.

As she is the angel of nature and animals, her free time is the equivalent to her duties. She oversees the development and progress of nature. She also, like any great archangel, commands her personal choir of angels, that being guardian angels into protecting certain animals or animal groups, or the environment in general. She also partakes in guiding the departed of souls of animals to their rightful destination in the afterlife.

## Description

Ariel is an archangel that takes on the appearance of a fierce and mighty lion, though mainly in the eyes of mortals and even other immortals. When not taking such a shape, she is described as having a fiercely proud demeanor with eyes that burn like the hearth of God with the intent on punishing those who succumb to darkness. Ariel's name being the Lion of God means not that she is ridden with pride that is in association with the lion itself.

Ariel is described as delighting in wrestling and contests of strength, with a booming and lively disposition. She wields no weapon, and rides no steed. Though despite her abrasive nature, she was a surprisingly good counselor, quite encouraging, and a very hardy friend. She is described as being slow to wrath, but also slow to forgive; for that reason, she was one of the angels that opposed the imprisonment of Lucifer within Heaven after his actions during the Apocalypse.

## Powers and Abilities

**Chivalry:** Ariel is a noble knight: they have an innate ability to manifest great courage and nobility at all times, especially in the face of adversity. The knights express a desire to maintain order and are well rounded in many aspects. They are well versed in the seven knightly virtues, and some are as jealous as to try and destroy that which they see as impure, as well as suffering from psychological stress due to having to suppress their natural instincts and desires.
