PERSONALITY:     Aria takes great interest in poetry, coming up with metaphors quicker than you can say 'stop.' She has multiple books of both classic and modern day poetry, as well as novels in the romance and thriller genres. She likes to keep to herself most times, writing paragraphs on and on while sipping on her green tea, but doesn't mind occasional meet-ups with friends. She almost seemed serene, tranquil. But don't let that deceive you, her mind occupied by chaos that may let loose one day. She's a brave one, but afraid to act when it concerns her loved ones. She gets quite emotional too, but only her mother's witnessed it. She always keeps a notebook with her, incase there's anything story-worthy from that day. She hopes to publish a book about her life before she passes away. It's a great coping mechanism, to reminisce the good times, especially on worse days.
BACKSTORY:     Aria's father left their home when she was eleven, specifically the night after her birthday. The family never heard from him since. Due to this, she changed her last name to her mother's maiden name, Harlows. She secretly hopes that he'd come back, even until now. It was vague, but she didn't feel complete.
