Aria Evergarden

**Aira Evergarden** is a 3rd Year Middle School Student at Noble Herz Academy and studies in the Refined Pallas Class. She is a sexy type idol whose preferred brand is Romance Kiss.

**APPEARANCE**

Aria is a short (5ft), slim, fair-skinned girl with light ash blond with dull/brunt pink tips of hair that reaches her mid-back with half of it tied into a bun. She has shoulder-long sideburns with side-swept bangs, with some of it held in a purple star clip, which frames her violet-purple eyes.

**PERSONALITY**

Aria’s personality is that of a cat. She’s curious, mischievous, cunning, and impulsive, the last one sometimes landing her into trouble. She acts pretty flirtatious as well but in a way that shows she’s joking to people and she’ll stop if it makes people uncomfortable or in a relationship.

Aria is very observant of people, she watches their body language, how they act and speak, and looks into their eyes to see who they are. If they’re good, she’ll tease them, if they’re bad, she’ll still tease them but is wary of them. You’ll know it if she says “Nya!” at the end of a sentence.

Despite how she acts, she’s an introvert and is pretty distrustful of people that she isn’t close to due to her childhood. It’s one of the reasons why she lies, it’s to protect herself from being hurt again.

**Background**

Aria abounded in the slums of Pairs before she was taken to an orphanage when she was about 3. Her life didn’t improve all that much, the care-taker of the orphanage hated children, she made them do all of the cleanings,  made the older kids cook and watch the kids under 5, and never cared where of what they did, as long as they did their job and didn’t cause trouble. That’s how her life was for a few years.

When she was about 10, Aria, and a friend from the orphanage, decide to sneak into a fashion show after seeing a poster of it. Aria was awed by both the beauty of the models and the dresses and learned of Leon Evergarden.

However, near the end of the show, Aria saw that the friend was attempting to steal a bag of a woman in the audience, and just as she stopped her, the woman saw that she had the bag and called for security, the “friend” running before she was caught while Aria wasn’t lucky. While being questioned, the police didn’t have information on Aria, so they didn’t know who to call. Seeing this as a chance to escape, she told them to call Leon Evergarden as he was her father.

When he arrived, he played along with her lie and took her to his home. When he learned about what happened and her life, he and his wife, Selena Evergarden adopted her. For the next 2 years, she gained a family and learned the feeling of love.

During that time, she started gaining an interest in idols due to watching many of her sister’s performances and learning about models that were idols themselves. Lizzie saw this as an opportunity for her and asked Arabella to see Aria. She took one look at her and Arabella laughed at the both of them saying that she didn’t have the potential for an idol for NH. Angry and believing that she had the potential, Lizzie pestered Arabella for months until she snapped and gave Aria half a year to prove her worth to be able to attend NH. For those next 6 months, Lizzie trained Aria in everything she needed to know and when the time finally came for her solo evaluation, she passed with flying colors. She’s been in NH for a few months now so she’s still considered a new idol.
