## **Introduction**

Arizona Dishman first appeared in season one of Pregnant in high school (1999) when she was sixteen years old. She is the daughter of Nick and Faith, and she has a close relationship with her younger brother: Jake (13). She's in a relationship with Evan Flynn, and is part of a friend group with three other girls: Heidi (16), Sienna (15), and Alyssa (14). Arizona appeared to be more mature even at a young age and was more of an adult than a teenager. She does what she wants, no matter what anyone has to say about it.

###### **Season one**

In **episode one**, she lied to her parents about where she was going, saying she was hanging out with her friends when really she was going to see her adult boyfriend. She did later meet up with her friends for supper and thanked them for coming, stating that they normally grabbed a bite to eat whenever they hung out and she didn't want her parents to get suspicious by her returning home for supper instead. Alyssa stated it was fun being part of Arizona's lie, and most of her friends didn't seem to mind, but her friend Sienna felt differently. Sienna disapproved of Arizona dating an adult man and stated she would find it weird if her older sister Mary started dating a teenager.

In season one, **episode three**, Arizona was asked for advice by her brother on his situation with Maize. She told him that if he was happy being with Maize, then he should continue to see her, and she told him that there was a chance Maize would change her mind. And if she didn't, she didn't deserve him anyway. Later on in the episode, Arizona asked her brother how he'd feel if she were dating an adult, but she didn't tell him she was. Jake replied that it was fine because she was the legal age for consent.

Jake had a very close and open relationship with his older sister, Arizona. They felt comfortable going to each other for advice and talking about personal things. In episode three, Jake turned to her for advice on his relationship with Maize. Arizona advised him to continue the relationship if he was happy being with her because she might change her mind once summer ended. In turn, Arizona asked him how he'd feel if she was dating an adult. It was implied that Jake didn't know about her relationship with Evan. Jake told her he didn't see anything wrong with it because she was of legal age of consent. However, when he asked her why she had asked, Arizona lied, saying it was just something she had been talking about with her friend Sienna.

Arizona was dating an adult man named Evan, and while her friend Alyssa didn't see anything wrong with the relationship since Arizona was 16, Sienna had a difference of opinion, viewing the relationship as weird and inappropriate.

Arizona was part of a friend group with three other girls: Heidi, Sienna, and Alyssa. She is the oldest girl in the group. Arizona had an on-going conflict with Sienna about her romantic relationship with Evan. Sienna was against the relationship due to the age difference. She didn't think it was appropriate for a 16-year-old girl to date a 26-year-old man. Arizona kept trying to point out that the relationship was perfectly fine because 16 was the legal age of consent where they lived, but Sienna still found the relationship inappropriate. In **episode four**, Arizona confronted Sienna. Since they were friends, Arizona stated that Sienna needed to support her. Sienna was still hesitant, unsure if she could trust that Evan was in the relationship for the right reasons. She insisted she was just looking out for her and didn't want to see her get hurt. In the end, Arizona asked Sienna to trust her, which Sienna agreed to.
