"...i didn't want my life to be like this. i didn't want to keep living the way i used to, locking myself away from a world that i could explore and learn all about...all because of the people who treated me the way they did...i want my place to be here...i want my life to continue here...because that's what i chose for myself."


aria is a quiet woman who usually comes off as standoffish and maybe a bit anti-social and cold, but in reality, she is rather laid back and normally looks out for everyone's best interests through her actions. the manner of which she speaks is usually more polite and borderline formal depending on the person she's talking to. she tends to be a rather selfless person, but to a fault and she easily panics in certain situations and tends to think the worst of herself. even despite there being people in the town saying otherwise, she sees herself as a monster and can't seem to fathom the thought of her being treated like a normal human amongst those outside of her immediate family. because of her circumstances, she finds it incredibly difficult to properly express her own emotions and can usually be seen with a stoic expression on her face that never seems to change.due to her 7-year isolation, she tends to be pretty naรฏve and has a habit of being pretty curious about the things going on around her. but she can be pretty intuitive and can be perceptive with certain feelings and body languages that she can catch on to.the more her bond with someone deepens, the more open her emotions become and she smiles a little more often without realizing it. however, with how close she gets to someone, her fears will constantly get the better of her. she fears the life she had before and she fears the fact that eventually, she'll do something that will make the people she cares about hate her. as much as she wants to trust them with her feelings along with her secrets, she's just as afraid to trust them with those secrets only to have those secrets used against her in the end. because of the fear of losing the people that she let get close to her, she holds a possessiveness that even she is afraid to let show.she suffers from body dysmorphia and haphephobia, a result of the bullying she had gone through. she is unable to recognize herself in the mirror and is unable to be touched without given a warning lest she lashes out due of fear.


    ABOUT / ABILITIES    


navigation :โ€”introโ€”โ€ขโ€”appearanceโ€”โ€ขโ€”personalityโ€”โ€ขโ€”abilitiesโ€”โ€ขโ€”historyโ€”โ€ขโ€”relationships


mining.    

aria has some relatively good experience going down the mines and mining various ores and rocks that she could use or give to people as gifts due to her abnormal strength. it isn't her favorite to do by any means, but anything to give her gear better upgrades to make her job easier.

combat.    

due to her going down the mines, she has had many encounters with various monsters. thus, she has some experience with swordsmanship. however, she can only really handle so much, even with her own abilities as an angel's descendant. even then, her priority has always been either mining or self-defense.

intuition.    

descendants with the angel's blood are normally blessed with a severely accurate intuition and are able to tell whether or not someone can be trusted or is someone who is not worth being around. downsides to this ability is that one's intuition can be weaker than the others, some members actually not being able to read their intuition from specific groups. in terms of bad feelings, the matter of how they show it solely depends on how bad the situation is. their bad intuition manifests via illness. at worst, the family member would be sick for days and would be hit by severe nausea and would throw up. at it's lowest, the member would only be hit by a sense of illness in their gut.
aria is blessed with this strong intuition, but sometimes she doesn't trust her gut and trusts people too easily.

SINGING.    

each descendant is blessed with a good singing voice as well as the knowledge of various hymns. however, for every descendant, each one has a special hymn that only they can sing as a prayer for someone else. in aria's case, her hymn is the hymn of slumber. the only occasion where she can use this song is for putting people to sleep. and while she is able to use this song for those who have trouble sleeping, it isn't the only use for it. in fact, the hymn of slumber can also be used on those who are close to death to ensure that they pass on after falling into a peaceful sleep.
however, with these abilities come consequences should they be used and sung incorrectly. if overused or sung for someone who is not marked for heaven in the future due to their actions, the song will backfire and cause damage to the singer's body (such as spitting out blood). while they can recover from this, it renders them unable to properly speak for a while until their throat can recover.

healing.    

as an angel's descendant, aria has the ability to heal from any wounds that may be inflicted on her, as well as heal the wounds of others. however, the duration of which her wounds can heal depend on how deep they are, and she is unable to heal from fatal wounds.
when she heals, she needs to come into physical contact with the subject and her eyes shift from the ruby red to a marian blue with a golden halo around the iris.

strength.    

aria was born with supernatural strength that comes with her own blood, being able to carry things that are twice or even thrice her size without so much as breaking a sweat, however, this usually does not mean that she was born with natural combat prowess and a lot of training is needed for her to be able to control her own strength.

lightweight.    

although she is part angel, she is unable to fly. however, she is blessed with an extremely light weight and is able to jump a bit higher than the regular human while being able to make a soft landing. the downside to this is that she cannot jump higher than 10 feet and can still be injured if she doesn't land properly.this also extends to her ability to sneak up on someone due to the fact that descendants from her bloodline usually have quiet footsteps.

farming.    

as the farmer of sea's lull farm, she has a job of handling various plants, flowers, and even caring for the animals around the farm. it isn't exactly easy and she's still learning how to handle a farm after growing up in the city, but she enjoys her work.

fishing.    

she's not exactly a big fisher, but prefers to do it for a profit as well as making a lot of her favorite foods. sometimes she does like to fish due to her love for the sea, which would mean that she'd be able to spend hours staring out at the quiet and calm ocean of the beach.

youth.    

born as the second child of shiraishi kazuya and calista saya furukawa, her childhood was a happy one when she was being raised by two loving parents and an equally loving older brother two years her senior. her father works as a doctor while her mother was a housewife who originally helped run her father's farm. she and her brother were born with shining silver hair, which was trait that was passed down from her father's family due to an angel's lineage that has been passed down through generation after generation.calista fell pregnant with aria's little sister when she was only 8 years old. however, calista's health had grown weaker and weaker as time passed and there happened to be complications regarding whether or not she would've been able to deliver her daughter safely. despite her husband and family's protests, she decided to go through with the pregnancy, knowing full well that even if something happened to her, her family would love and care for that child even if she wasn't there. it was by aster's birth that calista had unfortunately passed away after losing too much blood. aria, at 8 years old, wasn't happy to have a little sister, maybe she did before, but the moment her mother died was when her resentment for the young child began. the funeral had been especially the hardest for her to go through, especially when the sight of her dad's tired expression along with her brother's tight hold on her hand being the one thing that she could remember. all the 8 year old aria could do was wail for her lost mother that day.despite all of that mourning, it didn't take long until her grandfather, the farmer of sea's lull farm within her mother's hometown, would follow after his daughter to heaven. having been by his bedside during his final moments, philip gave aria an envelope that he had told her not to open, informing her of his intent."there will come a day when you feel crushed by the burden of modern life...and your bright spirit will fade before a growing emptiness. when that happens, my dear kikyล, you'll be ready for this gift."life moved on, and aria had grown older, and memories of her childhood had grown vague, and her adoration for her little sister whom she intially hated grew. however, the memories of her childhood friend had begun to disappear by the time she eventually got to junior high.

junior high and isolation.    

by the time aria was in junior high, she had one friend that she was close to and a friend group she had integrated herself in. however, a part of her always knew that they had drawn a line with her, especially when it came to her unique features that made her stand out from all of them. her brother was already in his last year of junior high while she was just starting out. she had thought that she had been getting along with her friends, but that all changed by the time her 2nd year started and she had turned 13.a massive fallout between her and her friend had led to said friend being the one to spread rumors about aria to the friend group which spread to their classmates. made-up scenarios that attacked her character, existing moments that have been changed to frame aria as a terrible person, and constant attacks to her appearance and humanity. she ended up having to deal with various jeers to her character and appearance, and physical attacks against her that she would try to hide from the rest of her family. this led aria to be estranged from the rest of her classmates all the way until her 3rd year. aria grew more reluctant to speaking to others, and more withdrawn from the rest of her classmates, a far cry from the initial cheery child she had once been.the incident the inevitably solidified aria's inevitable isolation was when she was going to meet up with her brother. one of her classmates had begun pulling at her hair and insulted her, prompting her to try and defend herself with the closest thing she could get in her hand. using a pair of scissors, she tried to cut her hair loose, injuring him in the process. the blame fell on aria for injuring her classmate, and not on the classmate who had pulled her hair first. no one came to her defense, and no one spoke up against her tormentors.despite her father and brother's comfort, she completely isolated herself in her own room. so by aria's choice and kazuya's protection of his daughter, he withdrew her from her private school and enrolled her into a homeschooling program.however, the ordeal had left a severe mental wound onto aria. she couldn't handle someone's touch and with every sudden touch on her own body caused her to panic and lash out, using her hand in self-defense to slap even her own father's hand away from her body. she could no longer handle seeing her own reflection without seeing the person that her classmates had said she was: she was a monster, and she didn't deserve to be seen as human.

the move to stardew valley.    

seven years passed, and aria was already 22. her life had mostly revolved around being inside of her house a lot of the time and only occasionally going out into the city to play at the arcade, hiding her hair from the people around her. it was all a repetitive routine, and a routine that involved her rotting away in her house as much as she wanted. her sister was around the same age she was when she dropped out of school and even then, she was having a better time than she did. she was able to pass off as normal with the color of her hair and all. her brother was a working adult who helped their father support all of them, but what was she? what was she doing in her life other than just staying in her house all the time? she was nothing but a burden to her family and she knew she had to change that. she couldn't live her life just sitting around and letting her father and brother do all the work to support the entire family.it was until she found her grandfather's old letter that she had found her one and only answer. she knew she was tired of the life she was living, and she knew that she was wasting away in the city. so when she opened the letter, she had seen her grandfather's deed and his will. the fact that he had left his farm to her, the farm that him, her grandmother, mother, and uncle had all cherished and worked hard on. she knew she needed this, and she knew she needed the change more than anything. she needed to take a step towards shaping a new path for herself in life so she could help provide for herself and her family.there would be no one she knew there, and there would be no one who would insult her there, it'll just be her, the townspeople, and the nature of the valley.
