if the world was ending, you'd come over, right?
the sky'd be falling and i'd hold you tight
and there wouldn't be a reason why
we would even have to say goodbye
if the world was ending, you'd come over, right?
right?

A P P E A R A N C E
Stroll into the Sanctuary library, and you might see a delicate-looking hybrid hunched over a table, reading furiously. Her wings twitch back, her talons fidget with the paper, and her gray eyes dart from line to line like a nervous bird within a cage. This is Arietta, a small dragon with a big heart.
Small-framed and fragile, Ari is noticeably short for her age. As a young dragonet, she was underweight, but she has filled in. Nevertheless, she is still skinny and sticklike, looking like she could be blown away at the slightest breath of wind.
Often, Ari ducks her head to look at the ground in public places, or folds her wings back nervously. This makes her look even smaller than she already is, adding to her shy and quiet aura. She wears a neutral expression most of the time, though greeting someone can bring out a shy smile and talking to her loved ones creates an even bigger one.
From her mother, Ari inherited the SilkWing frame and elegant build. From her father, she has the pale blue SeaWing bioluminescent scales, gills, and webbed talons. But the contradictory aura surrounding her is all her own.
However, Ari's wings seem to be a mix of both tribes' genes. They are comically oversized and extremely thin, feeling like paper when you touch it. They billow out from her otherwise small body, the membranes dark purple and patterned with silvery swirls. This seems to be a mix of her SeaWing bioluminescent scales and her SilkWing patterns.
Ari has pale violet SilkWing antennae, though they are nonfunctional, and her horns are light blue, the same color as her overscales. The SilkWing spines running down her back are pale, washed-out gray, as are her talons.
Ari's mainscales are a deep shade of blue, while her underscales are slightly lighter. Faint traces of pale blue ripple through them like waves on water, which glow slightly in the dark if they have absorbed enough light. Her scales are accentuated with bits of violet, gleaming here and there.
Dark purple glowscales cover her body, although the glow they radiate is very weak. Her overscales are light blue, and they run in a thin line along her spine. Parts of her head and snout are bordered with pale gray scales.
Ari's eyes are dull gray, usually calm and serene. However, if she gets emotional, they are often filled with a certain feeling, making them truly windows to her soul. Silver scales swirl around her eyes in a circular pattern, and a pair of silver spectacles twine up and around her antennae.
Due to a genetic deficiency, Ari's jaw has grown crooked. Although she may keep a neutral expression most of the time, her crooked jaw gives her a mischievous smile, making it curl up slightly more on the left end. She slouches a lot, though don't let that fool you. Even if her appearance is odd, it's overshadowed easily by what's inside of her.
P E R S O N A L I T Y
Flawed, of course, may be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Ari. But really, she's far more than the sum of her weaknesses.
For starters, the small hybrid can come off as aloof and distant. When you first meet her, she often doesn't know what to say, so a conversation can feel extremely one-sided. She's not exactly shy, instead preferring to use the word "quiet," showing that she doesn't really enjoy talking.
Most of the time, she will go out of her way to avoid other dragons and/or attention, and having her be the first one to strike up a conversation is a rare occurrence. She stutters when she talks, looks at the ground during conversations, and all in all, comes off as a nervous wreck.
However, the real Ari is a different story.
Begin talking with her, and she'll seem shy. Touch on one of her passions, and she won't shut up.
Often, Ari will really open up once she actually warms up to you. If she considers you "not a total stranger," she can actually be chatty and quirky. She enjoys cracking jokes and puns that are actually quite funny, despite her writing them off as cheesy. She considers humor one of her greatest attributes.
Among her friends, her remarks can be sarcastic, cutting, even. She likes to make witty observations, which is a big part of her sense of humor. But sometimes, these can go too far and injure one of her friends' feelings. When that happens, she'll fall over herself apologizing and refrain from talking in general until she trusts herself not to hurt anyone again.
Ari labeled herself as "a proud nerd" a long time ago. She loves, loves, loves reading and writing, and at any given time, can be found working on five different projects to do with language arts. Although she might suck at verbal communication, she can express her feelings very well through writing.
However, among dragons she doesn't know well, Ari will become what she calls a "social chameleon" - shifting to match the moods of the dragons around her. If they're loud, she'll be loud. If they're pessimistic, she'll be pessimistic. She swears she does it unconsciously, but one can never know. It's a bad habit, but she can't snap out of it.
Compared to others her age, Ari is far from competitive. In fact, she'd rather sit out of anything and just practice it on her own, or for fun. The pressure makes her extremely nervous and her talents collapse under close scrutiny, even if she's actually skilled at it. However, if she is put in an important competition and she loses, don't expect her to be extremely happy about it.
Although she may act tough, Ari is secretly very sensitive. She will often mentally flinch away from a harsh comment or criticism. Even the simplest things can send her into a spiral of worry, wondering if she did something wrong to make them angry at her. However, she never raises her voice - Ari displays her anger by shutting herself away or icing the other dragon out.
Which brings me to my next point: fighting. Arguments and violence make Ari extremely uncomfortable, and she will almost always be the peacemaker of a disagreement. She hates fighting; it gives her a nauseous, spiraling feeling inside her chest. Deep down, she does have strong opinions, but often she's too afraid to voice them.
Ari really does have feelings, unlike what most dragons think. What sets her apart is the fact that instead of expressing her deeper thoughts, she buries them away. These have a tendency to explode out when she is feeling emotional or stressed, but most of the time, Ari corks up her feelings and hides them away.
She's secretly really insecure, trying to figure out who she really is. Although surrounded by others for her entire life, she feels... different, like she doesn't fit in. Or perhaps she's the same as everyone else, deep down. She's not sure. She wants to find out who she really is, and where she belongs in this world.
The small hybrid is often very anxious, worrying excessively over almost everything. She really does try not to, but once she falls into the worrying mindset, it's very difficult for her to climb back out. She has a paralyzing fear of death and the great beyond, always worrying about making mistakes that will affect her afterlife.
She's actually pretty smart, almost always getting above 95 percent on tests. However, this means that if she drops below 90, she'll start stressing out. A lot. Ari thinks that her creativity is a more valuable asset than her intelligence; her brain is always bursting at the brim with ideas.
She's selfless to a fault, always giving up her own advantages in order to help others. She cut the cake unevenly? She'll take the smallest piece, please. She hasn't finished her project, but her friend is struggling with theirs? Sure, she'll help them; she'll finish her own later. Ari burns herself out trying to help others without thoughts of her own well-being.
Emotions are one of the most important things to her, and she believes that if everyone else valued them too, the world would be a better place. She always does everything she can to avoid hurting others' feelings, even if that means lying or putting down herself.
On that note, Ari has very little self-esteem and constantly belittles herself in her mind. She's not a good artist, she doesn't have enough friends, she's too shy, nobody likes her writing... these are all things that run through her head at night while she's trying to sleep. She'll turn down challenges without trying them because she's scared of failure, of disappointing her family.
She has a very difficult time trusting others, often pushing them away immediately or over time, due to her prevalent suspicion that they're talking behind her back.
S T R E N G T H S
Empathy
Just from looking at another dragon's eyes, posture, or even the mood they radiate, Ari can grasp a (mostly) accurate reading of their emotions. Most of the time she doesn't say it up-and-front to other dragons though, because it makes the situation far too awkward. She holds emotions in high regard, and it's probably one of the concepts that guides her most. Ari is capable of inserting herself into another dragon's situation and feeling exactly what they feel, absorbing their emotions and experiencing them as if they were her own. She's sympathetic to a fault, most notably being when dragons treat her badly and she still feels bad for something else that happened to them.
Intelligence
As stated above, Ari is above average when it comes to school for her age. Her grades are higher than most, and she's even in a class above her grade level. Math is the only academic subject that makes her want to scream, even though she's fairly good at it. She may be smart, she doesn't really care a ton about academic performance, though this could just be because she doesn't try extremely hard. Her classmates know her as 'the smart one,' which makes her feel a little sad. They don't know her for her kindness, or her humor, or her empathy. They only know her for her grades. Ah, well, at least it's a good thing they're stereotyping her with.
Creativity
At any given time, Ari's brain is bursting at the brim with ideas and thoughts about the world. She has a wild imagination and is constantly coming up with the strangest things, although this can also be a downside - at night, she'll start by fantasizing about good things, then end up scaring herself to death with thoughts of murderers. Her creativity spurs her to write fanfictions and original stories, which she works on almost every day. The flipside of this means that she can't ever focus on one thing, her brain jumping from one idea to the next. Her writing projects usually last about five pages before she goes 'oh, this is a better idea!' and moves on. And the cycle starts over again.
Humor
Perhaps it's a common talent, but it's one of Ari's best. She can cheer almost anyone up with her dry humor or sarcastic snarks, and she's been known to make her friends burst into uproarious laughter with a single sentence. She only uses her humor around her friends, though; with her normal classmates, she wouldn't dream of cracking a joke. She doesn't use humor to put herself in the spotlight. She likes the feeling of her loved ones being happy, and making them smile. Ari sees her humor as a tool, to be used to bring others maximum happiness with her jokes.
Persistence
"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." This seems to be the motto that Ari lives by, for if she fails at first, she will not give up until she succeeds. If she starts something, she's determined to finish it, and nothing can stop her from accomplishing her goal. From time to time, she might take "breaks," but rest assured that she'll be back on it in a day or so. She can burn herself out trying to accomplish the things she sets for herself, but she doesn't mind. As long as Ari gets there in the end, she'll be happy - an unhealthy philosophy, but a philosophy nonetheless.
W E A K N E S S E S
Uncontrolled magic
From her SeaWing father, Ari inherited animus magic. Unfortunately, it was combated by her SilkWing genes, and the latter won. Ari doesn't know how to control her magic, or if it even is magic. All she knows is that it will burst out of her whenever she gets extremely angry or upset, leaving behind seemingly random effects like making everything float temporarily or rippling a wind through the room. It's very unpredictable, and Ari struggles in trying to figure out how to use it - but she still holds out hope that maybe one day, she'll get her powers under control.
Weak wings
Ari's wings are huge and beautiful, but also paper-thin. They rip very easily and are extremely weak, so this means that Ari cannot fly. She can only glide by jumping off a high place and hoping a strong wind will catch her, and even that is risky because her wing membranes might tear. Ari loves the feeling of soaring through the sky, and she wishes that she had normal wings with all her heart, but she figures that she's already pretty lucky to have a house and an education.
Unathletic
Slow. Weak. Clumsy. All of these, unfortunately, describe Ari's physical abilities. She's often one of the slowest dragons in her class to finish running the mile, and her aim in basketball and soccer is horrendous. When it comes to sports, let's just say that it's not Ari's strong suit. Her parents and sister are actually good at it, though, so they often drag Ari out to the gym in hopes of making her stronger. Of course, it never works. The only sport she's even kind-of good at is a form of martial arts called tang soo do. She doesn't often get a chance to show this off though, since dragons don't frequently need to break wooden boards.
Sensitivity
Both fortunately and unfortunately, Ari feels everything extremely deeply. This often means that she can sense other dragons' emotions like they were her own, but for the most part, this is a weakness. Everything that others tell her is taken into account, mulled over, thought about, and even questioned. If someone gives her a harsh criticism, it's often not good for her self-esteem, especially if she's feeling down. Everything from a normal conversation to a sharp put-down is wondered about endlessly, and may even hurt her, bringing her mood down. Words exchanged years ago still linger in her mind.
Perfectionism
Ari has this... drive, this drive to be perfect. She always tries her best to be kinder, smarter, stronger, believing that anything less is laughable, thinking that I can do it even if she can't. She's quite lenient when giving critique to others, but when talking to herself mentally, the voice in her head is sharp and harsh. It tells her that she isn't good enough. She needs to try harder. This trait may stem from her fear of failure, which is one of the things that pushes her most. She's scared of messing up big-time and isolating herself from the dragons who love her. So she molds herself into a perfect someone she's not.
Shyness
Ari knows that many other dragons struggle with social awkwardness, but that doesn't make the flaw any less real for her. With her loved ones, she's totally fine, but in public she finds it incredibly difficult to introduce herself to other dragons. She's always nervous about slipping up and leaving a terrible first impression, or being judged because of her many negative personality traits. Whether it's talking to a new classmate or simply asking a librarian for a book, Ari tries her best to avoid meeting new people unless they introduce themselves to her first.
Anxiety
She does not have the actual, medical diagnosis of anxiety, but she grapples with the more common form every day. Ari's nervous about nearly everything, from starting a new project to asking her parents for something to even walking in public (it makes her feel weird). Ari is hesitant about many things because of this trait, her brain spinning into overdrive and imagining all the terrible things that could happen. Her nervousness kicks in more frequently than it should, making her slow to act and indecisive about the smallest things.
H I S T O R Y
Note: This takes place in my personal AU, where the two continents live in harmony. Her history is not exactly accurate to mine, but it shares many similaries.
Right from the beginning, Ari wasn't an outgoing dragonet. While her parents organized parties with other children her age in the "tail tip" of the Sea Kingdom, she preferred sitting with her family, looking on with wide eyes. When they tried to get her to go over and play, she would cry or react equally immaturely. Even when her sister Azure was hatched, the younger dragonet was more fearless than her, making her first friend when Ari didn't really have any yet.
Ari's first day of school was the saddest she had ever felt. She didn't talk for nearly the entire day, feeling like she couldn't make friends until she really connected with someone. She missed her parents, her greatest source of comfort. Who was this adult who claimed to be her teacher? She wanted her mommy and daddy back, to tell her what to do. Ari was clingy back then, definitely. She wasn't sure of her space in the world, so she tried not to occupy space at all.
She grew into a young dragonet, attending preschool, kindergarten, and most of first grade in the Sea Kingdom. Sure, she made a few friends, but they drifted apart from Ari after childish squabbles over crayons and playground equipment. She watched them learn to fly, riding the wind, and she would try to do it herself but always fail, always. She didn't understand why. All she knew was that she was different.
Ari couldn't put a name to the feeling inside her, still too young to understand the biting, gnawing hole within her spirit whenever she saw her classmates playing together, swooping in the air. Later, she would look back and understand. It was loneliness.
And then everything turned around for her.
Her father got a new job, still within the Sea Kingdom, but located on the mainland instead of the archipelago. This new city was a melting pot of dragons, called Haven, and it sounded like paradise to their family. Ari was nervous at leaving behind the weak roots she'd put down, but they moved. And little did they know that they would love it.
Their new house was bigger, bolder, brighter. Here, everyone had their own room instead of Ari and Azure having to share one. Ari's new school was bigger too, filled with strangers chirping cheerfully about the places they went to that Ari had never even heard of. Everything was new, new, new. Ari was still quiet, sitting in the corners of classrooms. She wasn't sure how to make friends. And so, the rest of first grade passed uneventfully for her.
It was writing that saved her.
The next school year, they were put into different classes, with new classmates. They were instructed to write about what they had done over the summer and share it with the dragonets sitting at their table. Ari hadn't done much, so she talked about playing with her sister in a hesitant, quiet voice.
The RainWing dragonet across the table responded energetically, with so much excitement in her voice that Ari was surprised. She introduced herself as Paradise and launched into conversation with Ari, telling her about her older sister. After that, they were fast friends.
Ari was a little overwhelmed by Paradise's bright, bubbly nature, but she grew to like it. Paradise brought out the good side of her too, the side that was curious and friendly and eager to make friends. After that, she grew into the stereotypical 'dragonet personality,' being introduced to new friends every day by Paradise and absolutely loving it.
Paradise was a smart dragonet, and she quickly figured out that Ari couldn't fly. However, she didn't care. Surprisingly. To the RainWing, the hybrid wasn't the odd one out. She was simply another dragonet, another potential friend. Unlike her old home, nobody here seemed to care, really. Perhaps it was the diversity, the massive range of tribes that their previous dwelling just hadn't had.
Slowly, day by day, she found herself. She didn't need to be popular or outgoing, not like at her old school. Ari advanced through the grades, made friends by herself (with a little help from Paradise), picked up the piano, found her passion for writing. Nobody minded that she couldn't fly. At least, not that she knew of.
Ari passed through elementary school without much happening. But in middle school, things started teetering off-course. Drama rocked the school every month, dragonets arguing and shouting about a molehill that had become a mountain.
She was neutral that first argument. She was always neutral.
And on she passed into high school, never getting involved in anything, always backing away as soon as she sensed tension rising. It was okay. This way, she didn't get hurt.
The ones who did get hurt, though, were her friends. They returned from the battlefield wounded, sometimes victorious, sometimes defeated. Ari comforted them, tended to their hurt. And then she waits, for the next fight to erupt, for the time to hide away once more.
R E L A T I O N S H I P S
open to sonas of wikians I've had conversations with!!!
Canon
These relationships are ones I have in real life, with characters that are based off real people.
Adonis (father): Ari and Adonis's relationship transcends words. She can relate to his personality and his magic, and whenever they're together, "fun" doesn't begin to describe it. Although Ari's father is often away traveling, she still feels very close to him, and hopes he'll stick around for a long time yet. Over the years she's drifted away from him slightly, but whenever they hang out, that gap disappears.
Whitecap (mother): For as long as she can remember, Whitecap has always been there for Ari. She was there when she lost a friend, she was there when Ari was diagnosed with scoliosis, she was even there for Ari's little bursts of temper whenever she got frustrated. Although their conflicting personalities sometimes escalate into arguments, they're closer than words can describe.
Azure (younger sister): Like all siblings, Ari and Azure have their fights. Azure being the extroverted ball of sunshine she is, her and Ari's personalities aren't naturally inclined to "click" immediately. However, they always forgive each other, and no matter how much they complain about the other sister, they'll stick together until the day they die.
Paradise (friend): The phrase "best friend" doesn't even come close to describing the relationship Ari has with Paradise. The extroverted RainWing was the first one to take Ari under her wing when she first arrived at her new school, and they've been almost inseparable ever since. Ari's eternally grateful for the bright, bouncy Paradise practically adopting her, and their bond is unbreakable.
Eventide (friend): Ari was introduced to this introverted NightWing by Paradise, and ever since then, their teachers have known them as the Three Musketeers. Although their personalities are drastically different, they get along extremely well, always there for each other even if no one else is. Ari has known Eventide for most of her life, and she can't imagine not being friends with her.
Brook (friend): The very first time Ari met the wisecracking MudWing, they clicked instantly. Ever since, they've played countless games and piano duets together (even though they go to different schools). They've gone through some insane experiences side by side, and it has made them even closer as friends after all these years.
Heatstroke (crush): This friendly SandWing met Ari in middle school, and she's had a rather large crush on him ever since. She's incredibly good at hiding it - no one has ever guessed - although her classmates are beginning to ship them together. As for the feelings being reciprocated? Ari doubts it, although she secretly won't give up hope entirely.
Fanon
These relationships are with other wikians' sonas, or basically, people I know only on the wiki.
Note: If you ask to have your OC added here, please add Ari to their page as well.
Moonlight: Ari enjoys spending time and chatting with this good-natured hybrid, whom she considers a good friend. In addition, they can relate to each greatly and share many traits. They both love many of the same things, which often leads to many long-winded and strangely passionate conversations about any topic ranging from scoliosis to reading and writing.
Skyfire: Although Ari doesn't really know Skyfire, she can already tell that they are very similar. She hopes both of them can pluck up the courage to come out of their shells at some point, and is looking forward to get to know her better.
Inlet: Ari is very glad that she is friends with the Sea/Ice hybrid. They enjoy chatting together for hours on end and ranting about the deaths of their favorite scroll characters. Although Ari may tease Inlet from time to time, she respects her, and hopes to be friends with her for a long time yet.
Iceberry: At first, Ari did find Iceberry's bubbly personality slightly overwhelming. However, as they continued to chat and get to know each other, she realized that the two are similar at heart. Although they don't know each other very well, she believes that the two could possibly be good friends, and hopes greatly to be able to know her more.
Lucina: Ari thinks that the LightWing is quite beautiful, but wasn't prepared for her slightly shy personality. She admires her bravery and dedication towards justice. Although she hasn't had a real and direct conversation with Lucina, she hopes to in the future, and is excited to really become friends with her.
Noble: The NightWing and Ari have talked a few times, and she really wants to have more conversations and build a friendship in the future. She greatly relates to her sensitive and calm personality, and hates math just as much as Noble. She's looking forward to their conversations together in the future.
Alexandrite: Oddly enough, Ari wishes she could be more like the outgoing SeaWing. She admires her ability to do whatever she wants and not care about what others think. However, she doesn't usually talk to her, slightly put off by her smart-mouth snarks. Overall, they have talked a few times, but Ari hopes to get to know her more.
Starrysky: There's no end to how much Ari enjoys Starry's company. She absolutely loves chatting with the friendly NightWing about anything from character development to writing to even Riordan (sCREE), and the two connected almost as soon as they met. They even rant about everything wrong with the world (coughcoughSpidermancoughcough) together. In conclusion, the two are what Ari considers good friends, and she truly hopes this will stay true for the rest of her wiki life.
Essence: Even though the two have only known each other for a short bit of time, Ari clicked with Essence almost instantly and now considers her a good wiki-friend. She can seriously relate to a lot of the tribrid's personality, from her complexity to her eccentricity to even the same zodiac sign (okay that's not a personality trait but still). When it comes to Essence's history, Ari wishes she could give the tribid a hug. Overall, she sees Essence as an amazing friend, and believes this won't change.
Skylights: Unfortunately, Ari doesn't have as much in common with Skylights as she would like. The two of them haven't talked a lot, though from their few conversations, Ari can infer that Skylights is a pretty darn cool dragon. In the future she hopes to reach out and connect with her more.
Bluefire: Ari doesn't know the hybrid incredibly well, but she definitely enjoys the chats they have! Happy Bluefire is a personality she wishes she could relate to, and likes her pleasant outlook on life and passion for reading. Her darker side makes her slightly uncomfortable, though. However, overall, she definitely feels positively toward Bluefire.
Dumbo: In their recent chat, Ari feels that she really connected with the fun tribrid. She feels especially well toward them, because they took the time to initiate the conversation with her. She admires how artistic they are and their creativity, but that's not all - she enjoyed the chat they had together and hopes they'll stay acquaintances for a long time yet.
Dolphin: Ari is sorry to say that she hasn't really interacted with Dolphin yet - however, she would really like to! Her quirkiness and "snarktastic"-ness is a little different from Ari's own personality, but she thinks they could really bond if they took the time to. Soon she hopes to start a conversation with Dolphin, as she thinks they could be really good friends.
