Ariel

An Archangel of Modesty (*played by **Ace***).

## Background

### *Before the Fall-*

Everything was perfect, long ago. Ariel was a carefree, guiltless Angel among the rest of her brethren, blessed with beauty and grace. She was in all aspects courteous and kind; her humility and righteousness gained her very close friends. She was chosen to become an Archangel and her love simply blossomed further as she served selflessly. She thought only of others and her Father, and so she did her work diligently. When fingers were pointed, almost no one thought to blame her, and for good reason. However, the angels she had thought of as close friends soon did seek her out, claiming that she had wanted even more power, unhappy with her role. She was taken aback, shocked by their cruel words. She knew it was simple jealousy, for while she was humble, her beauty was beyond theirs. She fled and hid, not wanting to confront her persecutors.

### *After the Fall-*

She lost contact with all of her past followers due to their betrayal. She was alone and hurt at first, but after a year she learned to get along by herself. She quickly realized the power of her beauty and used it to her advantage to make it high up in the human world, becoming a Managing Editor of a high fashion magazine called Runway. She reports directly to the Editor-in-Chief, a 50 year old British woman named Miranda Pearce, and is currently third in line to be the next Editor-in-Chief after another Managing Editor named Lucian Thompson. However, as everything begins to work in her favor, she has begun to form plans for this world. Big plans.

## Appearance

Ariel's real appearance is that of a 5'8'' female with long black hair and light green eyes and Caucasian skin. However, Ariel has developed a way to change her appearance through alchemy that her Father taught her by causing changes within her own body such as the production of facial hair by transmuting her own hair or gaining height by making her body less dense overall. This capability allows her to use someone else's appearance to her advantage, due to the fact that she can literally masquerade as them. Changing the color of her hair and eyes is more complex, requiring her to change the follicles themselves by breaking down her own components and recreating it in the form she needs it to be, causing these two changes to take more time and energy. Ariel can be found wearing designer clothing at all times thanks to her life as a Managing Editor of the high fashion magazine *Runway*.

## Personality

Ariel is as dangerous as she is beautiful. She's incredibly clever and will resort to anything to get what she wants, although her usual tactic is seduction. Almost no man on earth that can resist her allure. She's a great actress, able to toy with others while completely hiding her real emotions. However, she can be vicious when she needs to be. Although she's the angel of modesty, she's practically become the complete opposite. The reason why is quite simple, actually. She's given up any notion of returning to the Otherworld, which has made her transition to this world that much easier. All in all, she's no one to be messed with.

### Strengths-

* While her seductive abilities are second to none, her true strong point is in the use of alchemy, specifically that of changing her appearance when necessary and in water-based alchemy.

### Weaknesses-

* Ariel doesn't trust anyone. Not really. This has made her somewhat paranoid.
* She only cares for herself, but is actually emotionally unstable at times due to never having someone to confide in.
* She also has a wicked short temper.

## Organizations

Ariel has renounced any organizations that deal with getting back to the Otherworld or connecting her to other angels or archangels in any way.

## Trivia

* Ariel knows English and French fluently, but has been tasked with learning Spanish as Runway plans to open a Latin American branch.
