History: Ari's not quite sure what to do with herself. She was born a pure-blooded Tlingit in southern Alaska. Her mother being a part of the Raven Clan, she was supposed to grow up amongst that half of her heritage. But instead, the death of her mother at age two sent her father into a spiralling depression. Ari hasn't been able to figure out exactly what the circumstances were, but a falling out between her father and the community sent the two south to Wyoming, where they were constantly confused as the local Shoshone and Arapahoe, whose reservation they lived relatively near. Thus, Ari never really felt a part of her community growing up, and her father had succumbed to alcoholism - which made it surprising that he was able to remain on as a cow hand at the ranch he worked at.

When her father died shortly after she turned 23, circumstances brought her back to Alaska to take care of final preparations. It was here that she met her grandmother, the matriarch of her mother's clan. Ari was eager to leave the town, but her grandmother convinced her to accept the last of her mother's possessions: the two pups from a litter her mother was promised as an owed favor before she died (her mother was a sled dog breeder, so this wasn't surprising). The pups were 6 months old and too cute to turn down, so Ari stayed to raise them in their home town, finally realizing there really wasn't anything left for her in Wyoming. What she didn't realize however, was that these weren't husky pups, they were MUCH bigger.

Ari is now in possession of two fast growing Tokota pups, who eat a lot and require quite a bit of attention. A daunting task for the waitress at the local tourist diner. Feeling stressed beyond belief, Ari has taken to trying to figure out how to ride these beasts, or at the very least hitch them to a sled. Being with the animals gives her some measure of relaxation. She feels stuck at a dead-end job in a tiny community subjected to excruciating marginalization. Nonetheless, she is trying to come closer to her native heritage in honor of her late mother, even in the face of an increasingly industrialized tundra. Since she has come back to Alaska, she has become quite proficient at survival skills such as hunting and tracking (although she did learn how to hunt deer in Wyoming, so she has since only gotten better). Her grandmother has tried to teach her to be a shaman like her, but Ari finds it hard to release the tensions of her analytic mind and raise to a higher consciousness - so that's a work in progress.
