Ariella Collins

Ariella 'Ari' Collins is a main character in All I Hear, she's known for being the only real child of the Collins', and Chase's little sister. Ariella was born in Boston, on the 6th March, 1989. She's average height at 5"6, and she is 17 years old through the course of the story.

Background
Ariella was the only child of parents George and Mandy Collins, but she has an adoptive brother in Chase, who joined the family when she was only one year old. Coming from a well off family, Ariella had everything she could have wanted from a young age, and the honest truth was that she knew it. While she was very much a ‘popular’ girl type of person, her brother kept her grounded a lot of the time, and was the person she felt closest to.

On the day of the accident, she had been out with her parents getting Chase’s birthday present. When she came back home, he was waiting out there, and she was the one person to notice the slightly manic smile on his face, before the accident happened. She felt that it was a bit odd, especially as she heard him laughing before she blacked out, but had forgotten these details by the time she woke up.

What she didn’t know was that Chase had kept her alive for a very specific reason. While he was arrogant enough to believe that he could win against the Sons, he wasn’t stupid enough to not plan for the worst case scenario. He planted left a trap for his soul, inside of her mind. In case he died, his spirit would flee to that location, and remain there until he had the strength and push to break through. To keep himself alive in there, he gave her a pendant charm through which his powers were channelled, so long as she kept that on, he’d have marginal control over her.

Appearance
Ari has straight brown hair that falls to mid back, and recently she’s started wearing it forward to hide her face, which contains multiple miniscule scars from her car accident, as do her arms. She has wide eyes of expressive green. ==Personality == Prior to her accident, Ariella was highly superficial for the most part, but toned down dramatically at home. After the crash however, she just looked back on that and didn’t think she could return to that frame of mind. She became more serious and took more deep value out of life, after coming so close to death as well as losing people to it. She’s fairly sarcastic and not afraid to speak her mind, she finds it hard to remain tolerant of people that she doesn’t like. ==Ambitions  == <span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";

She frequently fiddles with the pendant from Chase that she wears constantly. Even after he dies for real, she can’t bring herself to stop wearing it. ==<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";

In many ways, Chase is more than just her brother, he’s her best friend. After his death, she misses him terribly, and really wishes she could at least have said goodbye. She’s incredibly suspicious about the events around his death, and refuses to buy the story, which is partly his influence over her. There are times when she feels Chase’s emotions as her own, and this is most often anger at people around Spenser when they talk about him. Ariella won’t tolerate people saying bad things about her brother, refusing to listen to any of it. Even after it is revealed that he caused the crash and is slowly possessing her, she only wants to help him, because she wants him back. Chase also loves his sister, but he loves his lust for power more. After he is gone for good, Ariella still finds it hard to accept the darkness in him, even though she knows it was there, she wants to remember him the way she knew him. ===<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;

Ariella sees Hayley as a ‘follower’ person, and thinks she’s weak for not standing up against her bitchy friend Kira. But to be fair, Ariella is occasionally over hostile towards Hayley, who is really just a people pleasing type of person. She tries to stick up for Ari around her peers, but after several talks with Ariella about how she acts, Hayley makes the choice to break away from that group. She and Ariella become quite close, as Ariella now feels that she can’t interact as well with her former best friend, Chastity Mellark, who she now sees only seldom. Hayley worries about Ariella a lot, and while this annoys Ari to no end, it does end up being useful when Hayley is the one to call for the help Ariella needs. Hayley’s sweet nature intrigues Tyler Simms, and the pair start going out, which Ariella thinks is just too cute. ===<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;

When she got out and was back at school, he began popping up a lot in her life, at first flirting like he always did, but later being more genuine. He sees that she’s in a lot more pain than she lets on from the crash, and tries to help as best he can. Reid is fiercely defensive over Ariella, this put with his already hotheaded nature means she has to stop him a few times before he ends up in a fight. Ariella’s constant will not to believe the negatives on Chase frustrates Reid, and is the weakest point in their relationship. But ultimately, he still cares and wants to help her, not letting her push him away when they’re both angry.
