Appearance Traits[]
In the two instances that Ariel appears in official artwork (first in an illustration from the original game and second in a note found in Leifthrasir), she is shown as a silhouette, so not much is known in detail about what she looked like. She wore a veil similar to the one that Velvet wears and had a long dress with loose, lacy sleeves and a wide collar, and had long hair. Velvet is remarked by Odin and King Valentine to resemble her and Ingway even almost mistakes her for Ariel during Velvet's unique False End cutscene against the Darkova.
Personality Classification[]
Princess Ariel was an extremely kind individual, and forgiving individual. She bore no grudges against anybody that wronged her not her father or her children as she wished for everyone to be happy even if she couldn't be. Her kindness is to such a degree that even though her father hurt and eventually killed her she never stopped loving him. She was also fearless, in Leifthrasir it's shown she foresaw her own death should she return to her father but instead of trying to delay it she chose to return knowing full well she would die.
Background Story[]
There is not much known about Princess Ariel's lifetime before the main events of Odin sphere except the fact that she used to be lover of King Odin, their romance resulted her bearing twin offspring (Velvet and Ingway) fathered by the King of Ragnanival Kingdom demon lord Odin, when her father knew that she bore the child of a perceived enemy nation, he went insane through out his last year even after Ariel's twins we're born and reached middle childhood growth, they we're forced to hate their mother as Princess Ariel was strangled to death by her own father as she says her final words to her children.
Before her death, she wrote a letter for her twin children, stating the upcoming future ahead of them and the world, she wrote a two part note, the first part they had which foretold of woe and death for them. There was a second note saying she was happy that they chose to pretend to hate her so they could save themselves from her insane father. She also wrote how to use the cauldron and how it could become an instrument to save the world as destroying it would be the wrong thing to do.
Plotline Summary Perspective[]
Princess Ariel is an unseen character in the game and was only mentioned in the book cutscene stories of Velvet and Gwendolyn like much Oswald's biological father Edgar, and they also both became important for the main story's climax, unlike Princess Ariel she had a portrait in the manual book of the game that shows her as a shadow in the wall while being strangled by her father to death, Oswald's biological father Edgar also never had any portraits of himself either in the game or the manual book of Odin sphere. Later in Leifthrasir, some text shows Edgar who bares a hairstyle similar to that of Oswald inferring that Oswald might be similar in appearance to his father.
Abilities[]
She apparently had the gift of seeing the future, and left two scrolls (or two parts of one scroll) for her children, stating her undying love for both of them, as well as their doomed future. In Leifthrasir it's revealed she even foresaw her own death from her father and still went to see him fully aware doing so would be the end of her life.
When Velvet and Ingway were growing up, somewhere along the way they rejected their mother in front of the mad King Valentine, resulting in Princess Ariel's tears. Velvet later mused that their mother was crying not tears of sadness, but of joy, glad that her children were choosing life over death, because their grandfather certainly would have killed them both if they loved their mother.
Relationships[]
Demon Lord Odin[]
When Ariel visited Ragnanival the two met and they loved each other, it is unknown how Odin and Ariel met, they used to be couple for a limited time with neither, according to Odin at least, never knowing each other's names.

Since her death King Odin was saddened greatly by her death and later remarried another unnamed woman where he had another two children whom are both daughters and they we're Griselda and Gwendolyn.
King Valentine[]
