Ari
(Writer/Shipping)

You gently place an egg into the npc’s outstretched hand. They graciously accept. Congratulations! You have unlocked some of Ari’s backstory!
Ari is a glasses character who enjoys bows, big sweatshirts, and rolling around with their dogs. They love anime, manga, comics, movies, sudoku, video games, and orchestra and music, all of which inspire their own art, music, and writing. At one time aspiring to become a pâtissier, Ari enjoys making new recipes, baking, and cooking (although most of what they cook is macaroni and cheese). When in doubt, they will always draw witches and magical girls, boys, or non-binaries.
Nurturing a love of writing and language led Ari to work as a writer and/or editor for many documents and publications, including magazines and newspapers, novels, political and procedural documents, and websites.
