bio
Life was never easy for the young Ariel Davis; whilst she never remembered being given up as a baby, merely at a few months of age, it affected her entire life. Only by a miracle was she adopted at a fairly young age, after spending just under a year in foster care. Everyone was hopeful, even the little girl who knew no better than to call everyone her mama or dada.
Being the observant child that Ariel was, she figured out a lot of things at a young age. She knew why the sky was blue, why the snow was cold, why trees stripped of their leaves during autumn, or that she was born in the wrong body. Her gender identity did not match what she was assigned at birth, and she saw no issues with wanting to fix that. Growing out her short hair was the norm, and wanting to wear skirts or dresses was absolutely something that she was looking forward to each day.
Only, her adoptive parents did not seem to think the same way. The moment her hair would get too long, Ariel would be forced to endure a haircut, and her requests to buy that pretty dress would be easily met with a resounding no. Whilst she thought nothing of it, and figured that she had to behave nicely and do everything her parents asked of her, that was not the case. Before she reached the age of seven, Ariel was back in the foster care system, her world shaken up once more.
That was when she met her foster sister Maisie. Coming from difficult backgrounds helped the two girls bond, and they became attached at the hip despite their age difference, creating the family neither of them really ever had. And while their time together as sisters was brief, Ariel never really forgot her once they got separated once more, always remembering the older girl as the sister that she never really had.
By the time she was eleven, Ariel was adopted by a lovely couple from all the way in Aurora Bay. Mr. and Mr. Davis were immediately supportive of her, falling for the little girl and her kind eyes. Only in their care did Ariel finally get to be herself, blossoming into a beautiful girl over the years. She knew she had her fathers' love and care to thank for it, and she couldn't be happier. They were there for her through everything, through the pain and tears, happiness and fears, victories and failures. They helped her open up and truly become herself, and by the time when she was sixteen, she was proud to take their last name.
Whilst she was a relatively mature and smart child, it didn't mean that Ariel did not get up to various shenanigans when she was a teenager. Befriending a group of teenagers, and becoming part of their group was a wonderful experience, and it was there that Ariel got to experience many new things; be it drinking, smoking, or even first crushes. Being confused about her feelings was normal for a teenager, but when she found herself trying to catch every glimpse of Darcy, always trying to make her smile, Ariel knew it wasn't just because she cared deeply about her friend. Still, whilst her crush might have been obvious to everyone else, she stuck to the friendship instead, wishing nothing but to be there for her.
Only, she never thought that this would be the way that Ariel would have to stick by Darcy. One of the nights when they were out partying - just their little group of friends - a fire started. Ariel wasn't paying much attention, but she was sure to check in on her, and make sure that Darcy made it out okay. All of them were shaken, and when Ariel realized that one of her friends didn't make it out alive, her whole world fell apart.
It was a lot to take in for a group of friends whose lives had just begun, and it was only by a miracle - or Darcy's father, really - that no one found out about what went down that night. Whilst it affected Ariel, she tried to be there for her best friend, for Darcy, doing everything she could to support her. So when she, one day, came home to a letter, stating that Darcy was gone, her heart was shattered. Ariel wasn't placing a lot of hope in her crush that she hadn't even revealed, but it hurt nevertheless. Still, it was enough of a push to finally accept the university offers she had been given, and once she was finally able to, Ariel packed up her suitcases, said goodbyes to her fathers, and left Aurora Bay.
Wanting to heal and help others seemed to come naturally to Ariel, and it made sense for her to get a medical degree. Whilst it took her a little while to realize that, she had grown to love the profession. It meant countless hours of studying, but it also meant that she was simply too busy to think about the what-ifs. Besides, the company was always great, keeping her busy, and while she made sure that her grades remained high, her party spirit never really went away. In her mind, it kept things balanced; besides, what was the point of her university ays if she wasn't having well-deserved fun?
It was only recently that Ariel had been given a spot as a medical student at Aurora Bay. After careful consideration - and missing iners at her fathers' place- Ariel had finally agreed to return back to Aurora Bay, not really expecting the ghosts of her future to be there, waiting for her.
