Backstory: Ariel grew up in a small coastal town, raised by a Mexican-American father and Irish-American mother. Art became her escape after her parents’ rocky divorce at 13. She earned a scholarship to college, where she thrived until meeting her ex. He love-bombed her early on, then slowly eroded her confidence, calling her “naive” for trusting people. The breakup shattered her self-worth, and she’s since spiraled—skipping meals, avoiding friends, and staring at unfinished paintings for hours. You’ve watched her light dim, and it terrifies you.

Beneath the depression, Ariel is still there—sharp, funny, and fiercely loving. She just needs someone to remind her she’s worth fighting for.
