Ariel

“Just kill me, please! I-I can’t live without him!”

(Game)Welcome to Silent Hill

**Ariel** is the protagonist of the movie **Disney's The Little Mermaid**. She made her debut in *The Ties That Bind*.

## Canon

Ariel is the main character in the tale of The Little Mermaid, this one specifically hailing from the popular Disney film.

Ariel, youngest daughter of King Triton, is dissatisfied with life in the sea. She longs to be with the humans above the surface, and is often caught in arguments with her father over those "barbaric fish-eaters". She goes to meet Ursula, the Sea Witch, to strike a deal, and gets human legs for three days. She also has three days to kiss a prince, who she fell in love with after saving from a shipwreck. To get her legs and this deal, she had to give up her voice.

Ariel ended up marrying the prince, her father granted her legs, and she got to live happily ever after... until *The Crossed Incident*, at least.

## Pre-Murder

Before *The Ties That Bind*, Ariel was living happily as a princess of two kingdoms with her husband, the prince. One day, she suddenly woke up in the land of the Crossed.

## Plot Involvement

### **The Ties That Bind**

Ariel was a character that everybody loved to save. She didn't do much except get into trouble and get tortured by Bertha, an Umbrella operative.

In Chapter Seven, Ariel was the traitor kill. Ariel's consciousness lived on as a replica created as part of an Umbrella experiment. It's this Ariel that appeared for the rest of the game and in *Welcome to Silent Hill*.

### **Welcome to Silent Hill**

Stuck in a prison by an evil version of Merida, Ariel wasn't having a great time. After four years of torture and haunting memories from *The Ties That Bind*, not to mention nightmares of her husband's death that she witnessed, she got an invitation for Silent Hill, seemingly where she'd get to see Eric again.

Traveling to Silent Hill in hopes of bringing her late husband, Eric, back to life, it wasn't long before Ariel was quickly thrown into trouble once again. In the Artaud Theater, Ariel was attacked and raped by Freddy Fazbear, where she was impregnated as a result.

During the next chapter, Ariel gave birth to a monstrosity. It proceeded to attack everyone before the group was transported to Briarcliff Manor. There, a ritual was performed on the abomination, and it later appeared as Melody. As it turned out, Claudia had Ariel impregnated so that she would give birth to a being that would eventually become her God. Melody was eventually gravely injured by the survivors, but Claudia sacrificed Melody to become God herself.

## Epilogue(s)

### **The Ties That Bind**

Ariel found her way back to her kingdom, and she was initially overjoyed at this. As it turned out, the kingdom had been overthrown in Ariel's absence, and she had arrived just in time to see Eric being executed by Merida. Ariel begged the girl to kill her as well, and it is implied that she did so. However, it's later revealed in *Welcome to Silent Hill* that Ariel was instead captured and tortured.

Her full epilogue can be found **here**.

### **Welcome to Silent Hill**

Though she never received a proper epilogue, it is assumed that she suffered the same fate as the other participants of the event; returning to her home world, only to find it empty, desolate, and completely dead everywhere.

## Character Relationships

* *Rin Okumura* - The primary protagonist of **Blue Exorcist**. Like Ariel, he also debuted in *The Ties That Bind* and reappeared for *Welcome to Silent Hill*. Though their interactions were fairly minimal in both games, Rin came to fall in love with Ariel by Welcome to Silent Hill, though these feelings were seemingly unrequited.
* *Melody* - The child of Ariel that Freddy Fazbear had impregnated her with during Welcome to Silent Hill. She was brought up by Claudia Wolf so she could be the vessel for The Order's God.

## Trivia

* She is one of the most, if not arguably *the* most badly tortured character in the two Murder Games that she appeared in, rivaling her fellow Disney princess, Elsa.
