Ari

I have no picture for her either, but a description of what she looks like.

"When will you be satisfied? When this world is taken care of, what will you do then? Will you finally stop hurting everyone? Will you have finally had enough?" -Ari to Herobrine, Herobrine's Reign.

"It felt like there was nothing left, even when I came back, after weeks and weeks, I still feared he would find me again." -Ari to Jalen, Before And After.

Species: Human (Formerly), Undead Human

Factions: Undead Army (Formerly), Emerald Wanderers

Age: 16 (Book 1), 17 (Book 2), 18 (Book 3)

## Description

Appearance: Ari is a little bit shorter than most of my characters, but only by a little bit. She has brown hair with light blue streaks in it, and wears it down. She wears a dark blue shirt with black pants underneath and wears ankle high black boots. She has a sword and double crossbows. Her armor is cyan and has a mask to cover her face, so no one sees her identity, the only time it was taken off was when Herobrine revived her in Book 2, he thought of it as the perfect time to finally see who she was. She got rid of it in Book 3, and never put it back on.

Gullible yet strong, Ariana somehow manages to find a way out of any problem she comes across, which let me tell you, she finds a lot of problems. She has many friends who are able to help her, but as the series goes on, she seems to drift away from all but one friend: Zoe, who cares about her very much. The two get along very well, and defend each other from any dangers.

## Story

Ari was a normal girl who wandered the world with her friends Jalen, Luna, and Zoe. She was attacked by zombies, turned into an undead human, then taken to Herobrine's base, where she trained and fought alongside him for a very long time. Then, she met Natalie, who helped her in any way she could and tried to cheer her up, even though Natalie couldn't even cheer herself up. She was going to be corrupted by Herobrine, but Natalie took her to the jungle and hid with her until Herobrine found them and took Natalie away, even though Ari didn't want her to.

She was teleported back to the pillagers and her friends and tried to find Natalie again. When she found Natalie, she was walking along with Alex, to bring him back to Luke, his brother. After she had completed her job, she just vanished. Ari never saw Natalie again, and misses her very much. Her friends Luna and Zoe eventually parted from her as well, setting out to defeat The Nether Horde. It was just Ari and Jalen now, traveling the world together.

But when Jalen left, she knew that she would likely never see her friends again, so she headed back to Glacierford to find the only thing that kept the girls together, the emerald necklaces that led to them becoming best friends. She was captured by Herobrine and recaptured by his friend, Artemis, who decided to let Herobrine take care of Ari, since she was his problem, not hers. When Herobrine left, Ari spotted her old friend Jalen, who rescued her, but did not seem very happy about it. Ari later discovered that her friend was mad because it belonged to Jalen's Parents, and she was looking for clues about her past. Ari left, knowing her friend was angry at her, and would likely be breaking more than her chains if she stayed.

Herobrine ambushed her again, and shot her with six arrows, three in her arm, one in her leg, one in her back, and one in her stomach (Very specific, sorry if this freaked anyone out), then, he threw his pickaxe, pinning her to a tree. He then brought her back to his base, and revived her. When she woke up, she had bandages where she had been hit by the skeleton's arrows, and where Herobrine's pickaxe had hit her. Since she had died and been revived, she lost some of her memory, and couldn't remember when Natalie had rescued her, and when Natalie had given her life to save hers. She had nearly forgotten Natalie completely. It is unknown if Herobrine did this on purpose or if it was an accident, I mean, she DID die.

In the end of Book 2, after three days, Ari's glitch was successfully removed by Lady Azura, Dexter, and Stella, all because of Zoe, asking them if they could save her, since she was the only true friend Zoe had left. This was after the Rainimator episode Goodbye, where Herobrine was killed by Ceris. In the next episode, Wings Of Salvation, after Lady Azura left, Ari found Ser Patrick staring off towards the FLoating Isles, and Ari knew that Ser Patrick didn't want her there, and that the only people who did were Zoe, Lady Azura, Stella, and Dexter, so she left The Dreadfort hoping to find the place she truly belonged, but the only place she could think of was with Herobrine, who was long gone by then.

She has never been in love, since she feels like it will get in her way, this all changed when she met Charlie. He was kind to her, and didn't care that she was undead, and she thought she had finally found someone who saw her for what she really was. It was first Zoe's discovery that Charlie wasn't who he said he was, and Zoe knew she had to rescue Ari, but it was too late.

Charlie has an advantage, he is as smart as Lady Azura, but he also possesses magic, thus making him an almost impossible foe in battle. When he brought Ari to his house, he told her he had to check on something, Ari, who was confused and nervous, nodded and let him go. She just sat there, and waited for him to come back up, which he did. He walked upstairs and grabbed her hands, and led her down to his lab, and let Herobrine take her over, which was what he was told to do.

After this, Herobrine stayed in Charlie's house, until Natalie, Jalen, and Phillip showed up, trying to save Ari and Zoe. Ari had already been taken over by Herobrine, which is why in the book, instead of saying Ari's name when her body is there, it says Herobrine. Natalie said she would take care of Herobrine, and sent Phillip and Jalen down to find Zoe.

She battled Herobrine for a long time, but before the battle had even started, Natalie saw the real Ari, she looked worried, and before Herobrine took over again, Ari told Natalie to run before Herobrine could hurt her. Herobrine took over again, and as Natalie battled, she told Ari to fight and try to get Herobrine out of her mind, but she couldn't. Herobrine grabbed Natalie's throat, and pinned her to the wall, slowly choking her to death, however, before she was about to be killed, Phillip ran up the stairs and pulled Herobrine away, and Natalie and Phillip teamed up to take down Herobrine.

When he had almost finished off Natalie, he told her that she would have to kill him if he was ever to leave them alone. Phillip snuck up behind him and stabbed through Ari's body, killing Herobrine and Ari. Herobrine's ghost flew away, but before Ari's ghost did, she looked down at Natalie and Phillip, with the saddest look on her face. Before Natalie could say anything, her ghost flew away, likely to try and escape Herobrine, who would always be looking for a way to get revenge.

She was revived by Charlie, who had made a deal with Natalie that she would stay, but all of her friends would run free. Ari returned to The Dreadfort with Zoe, where she was kidnapped by Raven and Shade, who brought her down to Friday. They told her that she was going to be punished by the three of them for messing with Charlie. Before they could hurt her at all, Aura arrived and rescued her, bringing her back to The Dreadfort, and telling her she would say hi to Charlie for Ari.

She meets Aura again one last time before the end of Book 3, in the Dreadfort Armory. She informs Ari about Charlie's past before disappearing, since Lady Azura had shown up, telling Ari that they had to leave.

Ari is next mentioned in Book 4, when she fights in The Battle of the Far Plains. She is forced to fight Jalen, but tries to convince her friend to join her and Zoe in The Frostbourne, however, Jalen declines, but Ari doesn't give up, and Jalen pinned her to the ground using two swords from a few fallen pigmen.

A few moments later, Charlie found her, and removes the swords. He challenges her to fight him, and she battled him. He told her about what had happened to Natalie as they battled, and when he finished telling the story, he decided to finish her off. He grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up, choking her. She clawed at his hands, trying to loosen his grip, but it only tightened as she struggled. She dropped her sword, and had almost been killed when Zoe punched Charlie out of the way, leaving Ari gasping for air.

After the battle, the Frostbourne soldiers retreated home, and Ari rested in her room, trying to recover from Charlie's attack. Her throat hurt badly, as did the rest of her body. She lay down in her bed and fell asleep, and didn't wake up for a long time.

She was found again by Raven, Shade, and Friday. They chased her through the woods until she ran into Charlie, who told her where to find a cave that she could hide in. She heads there and hides while Shade runs by. She then attempts to move the boulder blocking the entrance, but finds herself unable to do it. Charlie then shows up mentions a weakness potion, though it is unknown how he was able to give it to her. She then falls unconscious, and he brings her to The Nether.

The potion wore off after a while, and she woke up to find Zoe in the cell next to hers. She then explains what happened to her, and before long is found again by Charlie. She talks to him for a few minutes. She then is taken back to his home. Before she leaves, she runs back to Zoe and says her last words to her, not knowing whether she would see her friend again.

## Fun Facts

* She doesn't leave home without her mask, and wears it even when she is safest from harm
* She does NOT like the term 'zombie' and prefers to be called an 'undead human'. Her real name is Ariana, but she prefers the nickname her friends gave her: Ari
* A problem with Ari is that sometimes she 'glitches', and cannot remember who her friends are, this happens mainly when she enters combat with them, and may be caused by her inner undead instincts
* In Book 4, Ari shows to have an attitude, specifically towards Charlie when he took her
	+ She did not possess this problem in the other books, even though she did have many conflicts with other characters before
