Description
Arie holds the role of Aries Star Maiden. Orphaned as a child, she was raised by the church, instilling strong religious values and profound gratitude towards her caretakers. This background fuels her dedication to serving the church and teaching its children. She views tasks like cleaning as spiritual and physical training, strengthening mind and body through service.
Her personality blends devout seriousness with notable contradictions. Outwardly virtuous and gentle, she earns admiration from Granvania's citizens and the children she teaches, yet harbors intense secret interests. She possesses a significant fascination with weaponry, particularly knives, which she collects and hides within the church. Engaging in this hobby or the Classmating ritual causes her significant internal conflict, as she initially perceives both as sinful. She strives to conceal these aspects, becoming defensive or hostile if discovered. Despite her self-perceived flaws, she demonstrates kindness and forgiveness, exemplified by pardoning a child who stole food. She also claims an inability to lie.
Her character develops primarily through interactions with Itsuki. Initially hesitant about the Classmating ritual due to guilt, she gradually participates, framing it as a divine trial requiring resistance to seduction. Over time, her feelings shift from duty to genuine affection for Itsuki, leading to jealousy when she perceives him with others. His consistent acceptance helps her overcome her shame. She confesses her enjoyment of the ritual and eventually initiates it herself, demonstrating increased comfort with her desires.
A significant secret involves a locked room at the church, which she guards, claiming it holds dangerous forces. When Itsuki persists, she reveals it as her personal armory, filled with collected weapons. Sharing this secret marks a turning point in her self-acceptance, as she acknowledges her weapon enthusiasm as a core part of herself. She explains acquiring weapons through purchases during travels and deliveries to the church, hidden due to others' disbelief that she would collect them.
Physically, she has red eyes and dark hair, often adorned with golden loop earrings and braided ends. Her standard attire includes a white hat bearing the Aries symbol, a veil, a poncho with black lining and white pom-poms, and religious garments mixing black, white, and purple. Alternative outfits include a white bikini with black straps for swimwear and a yukata featuring white and black rectangles with violet, purple, and star-shaped dark violet flowers, paired with black zouri sandals.
