Arefure Ari

Arefure Ari is a character in Astral Academy. She represents 3:00 PM.

Appearance
She has long, light red hair that normally goes beneath her shoulders. In her detective outfit, she ties her hair up into ponytails in the front of her hair.

Personality
Ari is a calm, intelligent and thoughtful girl. However, she is self-conscious about how others see her, and is afraid to show her weak side. After befriending Liz, she is encouraged to share her feelings more.

Early Life
She had always looked up to detectives for a long time. When she was little, a detective saved her mom from going to jail and her being sent to an orphanage. Her motivation to become a detective is so she could save people like her mother once was.

All of the cases Ari had solved had the common trait of occuring at 3pm and Ari finding them at 3pm. She was conflicted by all of this, and was wondering if someone had been causing these mysteries for her to solve them. However, knowing the culprit's identities, she perished the thought.

Ari was well-known throughout Luxis as the person who could solve even the most vague of mysteries. Soon, he was invited into the detective force, as an apprentice. At times, he heard her coworkers talking about their distaste for women- and that's where he understood what her mother said. "Female detectives will always be treated cruelly."

He started to hide his female birth sex more than ever, even losing distance to her old friends in the process. However, none of this stopped him from solving mysteries. One day she had checked her mail and received an invitation letter to Astral Academy.

Trivia

 * While talking with Liz, she says that she feels comfortable identifying as both a man and a woman.
