STRENGTHS

• Legal Knowledge. Ariel was one of the more capable and practical students, who gathered a large amount of legal knowledge through her education, and is more than capable of applying this knowledge to situations in front of her.
  
  
• Immortality. Due to one of the perks of being high up in Hart Enterprises, Ariel is granted immortality, meaning that she will not age, or will at least age rather slowly. This results in her beauty remaining the same.
  
  
• Combat Skills. Although she doesn't look the type, Ariel is more than capable of 'surprising' opponents with an offensive manuover. When you work for evil, you just happen to pick up some needed skills. She is also rather lethal with firearms, knowing correct aim and precision of targets. She has had some practice in this area, with many targets of people's faces on them.
  
  
• Seduction. Ariel understands and knows how to apply the art of seduction. Even though she can be an outright bitch and evil, she can still manage to have a man quivering in their knees for her. She knows the right things to wear, and the right things to say.
  
  
• Use of Resources. Ariel has a lot of money, and resources that she can use at her disposal. This is what usually happens when you have such a high standing in an evil organisation, after all.
  
  
• Manipulation. Ariel is an expert at manipulating people, facts and situations. She knows how to get underneath someone's skin and drive them a certain way. She knows how to hide secrets, expose them, and use them to her advantage. She doesn't act on situations before her, she thinks them through, weighing out the strengths and weaknesses.
  
  
• Opportunist. Ariel won't sit around and watch an opportunity pass her by. If she sees something she can capitalise on for her own advantage, she will use it.
  
  
• Brave Face. Ariel is rather good at hiding her true feelings. Even if she is afraid, she will dish out some witty remark, or show a smirk on her face. She rarely shows real fear, which would need to be a rather remarkable situation or circumstance for that to occur.
  
  
• Beauty. She has this going for her, where many would doubt her nature or let down their guard because of her good looks, expensive designer clothes and how she holds herself.
  
  
• Heartless. Although this would be seen as a disadvantage, this grants her the ability to make decisions without using her conscience or moral factors hindering her in making a decision or stand. Being a bitch has its perks, after all.

[/BLOCKQUOTE]

WEAKNESSES

• Selfish. This has worked to her advantage in the past, however being selfish grants her moral disadvantages. She will always think about an advantage or disadvantage from her point of view in a situation, rather than first, or at all, considering the viewpoint of another. This is one reason why she hasn't found real friends or a companion.
  
  
• Neutral. She doesn't find herself alligning fully with one group of people, always finding ways to better herself and her own circumstances. Therefore although she may recieve assistance at one point, she may find herself on her own in another.
  
  
• Gullable. Although she is extremely smart and calculating, when she feels that she is at a 'win' she will become rather comfortable in the situation, and let her guard down, which could result in her being tricked easily.
  
  
• Just a Woman. Although she has skills in the business side of things, in the supernatural world, she really doesn't have any abilities which can physically help her escape from a potentially dangerous situation. She reacts more on common human instinct and attributes, not able to apply any physical training or so forth.
  
  
• Hides Emotions. One may thing Ariel has no emotions, but she actually does. She's just really good at hiding them. This doesn't get her anywhere behind closed doors. Apart from a good job in an evil firm, she really has nothing going for her.

HISTORY

Ariel was born into a middle-class family, who always wanted Ariel to achieve the most she could out of life. Her parents were always good to her, and she always told herself that she would pay them back by getting a great job which would be able to support them in their old-age, as they had always supported her throughout her early life. She also had a sister, who she was close with in the beginning, however never speaks to anymore, which came about after her mother become mentally ill. In her childhood however, her parents had a reasonable amount of money to support both their children, but never as much to spoil them.

During school, Ariel showed exceptional early-development and knowledge of the world around her. She quickly picked up new knowledge that she learned at school, and from things she had learned at home. Her father always said she would be a model because of her elequent looks, and she begun to believe this herself and constantly tell herself this. Her sister, who never recieved this kind of praise or attention from their father, grew jealous of Ariel. After all, she was the younger of the two, and the less beautiful. Ariel was always the child the parents knew would be the successful one and would make a name for herself. Although she was close to her sister during their young age, when her younger sister hit her teens, the two slowly drifted apart.

This came sooner when the unexpected death of their father hit, as a result of a car crash. Ariel in many ways 'stepped up' to help their mother recover from this horror, and take over many of the duties in the household. Ariel was commonly found busy in the books studying to get a good education, while her sister had more time on her hands, but decided to be out spending her time with boys and parties. Ariel in many ways resented her sister for having the privilidge of doing this, while Ariel was taking over many duties in the household, and not having the romances or friendships she strived to have. She always wanted to live up to the expectations of her father, and shes strived to make him proud, which he had admitted before he passed away. From that point on, she promised him that she would follow his wishes and make him proud.

She decided to get into modelling, and did rather good, in the beginning. The dramas just became too much for her, and although she was a top model, decided her home duties were becoming overwhelming, and decided to remain with them. She had completed her law degree, around this time, when she begun looking for jobs. It became increasingly hard however, as her sister burdened her chances of doing so. She was too 'fun loving and party-going' that she couldn't help out their mother, or more particularily, Ariel, who she despised, when they needed her. She ended up getting into a serious relationship with a boy, and soon moved out of home when she hit eighteen, deciding to move in with him, out of Los Angeles. Ariel never spoke to her sister since, despite her mother's continual displeasure of this. Ariel didn't like what her sister had turned into, and couldn't handle it.

She had found a job in a small legal administration facility, where she did gain some experience. She quickly catupulted herself as one of the 'top legal advisors' and even lawyered at some local court cases, gaining experience in that area. It was a sustainable job, keeping her busy, however it just seemed like it wasn't enough for her, and she could do more for herself. It was during this time that her mother became mentally ill, developing alzeimers. It was becoming extremely difficult to manage her mother, and at the same time, develop her career and continue working at the legal facility. It was however a random, yet fortunate encounter one day in the office when she was approached by someone outside of the company, offering her a job in a firm, Hart Enterprises. She saw this as a major opportunity. The starting salary was extremely generous, and although rather long hours, she would be able to put her mother into a home and financially support her, while giving her the right treatment. It was also a top law firm in Los Angeles, and could provide her the perfect opportunity to rise in the ranks. Apparently they had seen 'something in her' and needed her expertise in their firm. The only thing she needed to do, was sign a 'binding contract' to the firm, which she learned the true nature of soon after.

It was working here, she developed more of a 'amoral' attitude, especially when she realized the real intentions of the franchise. Although shocked for a long time at the beginning, she eventually accepted, realizing the opportunity was too great to throw up in the air. She knew what she was getting herself into, and accepted it. It allowed her to drive top of the art cars, where designer clothes and feel pride in what she had accomplished. That was all that mattered. Within seven years of working with this organisation, her competitiveness with fellow peers allowed her to move up in the ranks, working directly with Selena Hart herself, and learning the true natures and identity of the organisation. She always told her there was a reason she was here, and she was beginning to see it.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

Working directly with Selena, she is going to be a pain in the ass for many of the goody too shoes within Los Angeles, always being there to cause them some problems in some way. She will also be trying to rise even further in the ranks, not afraid of putting anyone else down in her place.

Four Years | Axel, Kyra

Ariel walked into her office, wearing her black heels, the expensive ones, a black skirt and a soft black jacket, placing some documents on her desk, before taking a seat. She begun examining these documents in detail. They were documents for special project proposals, which she was asked to examine, before presenting them to 'higher authority.' She glanced at the first one, a slight smirk finding itself on her face. "We summon a possessive demon to take control of one of the brothers, eventually driving him insane, before he kills his other two brothers. By the time this spell wears off, he will revert to his former self, burdened by the pain he has caused to his dead brothers." She brought herself back in her seat, taking a sip from her coffee mug, with a questionable expression plastered onto her face, with a slight smug smirk resurfacing. "Why did these people not get slaughtered in the monthly staff cutbacks?" It was as if they had no idea about anything they were doing, and were just writing down whatever first came to their head to keep their job. Maybe the idea was a good one, definantly would be fun, however it was impractiable. A spell like that, on a gifted individual like him? Wouldn't work, even she knew that. The brothers were strong, she had never come across anyone stronger. They always found a way around these 'attacks'. They would easily scrawn out of this one, if not them alone, as a result of his pesky friends.

Her door was soon knocked at, and before she could move her lips, the door had already sprung open, and in walked Gregory Tarnes. Oh, how she hated him. If someone gave her an axe, she would have chopped his head from his body already. He was an ignorant bastard, who just happened to be the creater of such an awful idea that she was supposed to 'review.' "And you became so important that you just decided to walk into my office after knocking, rather than wait for me to allow you?" She questioned, looking none the impressed. She had come to expect it from a lot of the 'assholes' that were present in this firm. He walked up to her desk, examing her docoments, whilst noticing his was currently open on her desk. This led him to glance curiously at her, before speaking. "Nice to see you two. Next time remind me to spit in your coffee. Anyway, what did you think?" Ariel glanced back at him, almost surprised at what he was asking. "What did I think? Is that a question that really needs to be asked, Tarnes? I think its sufficient enough to land you a nice scar on the back of your neck. Although you won't be alive to live with it."

He chuckled softly, to her dismay."Still the humor-inspiring one, it seems. Maybe you just haven't properly considered and weighed up the option. I'll leave you to it, then." Ariel displayed a blank face, before ripping the document in half and throwing it into the little bin beside her desk. "Five seconds of reading and consideration was enough for your crap, Tarnes. Maybe next time you can quit throwing bullshit my way, and focus on surviving the next cutoffs. I heard its gonna be a big one too. Better go and kiss that wife and kids, they'll be without you soon if you don't pick up your own slack." She paused, taking another sip as he begun walking out. "Oh, and spit in my coffee, I'll be able to tell, don't you worry. I've got a gun in my second drawer, just waiting for a reason to blow your head in."
