I was the mightiest female celestial in Heaven. Then in the aftermath of the Rebellion, I was forced to watch my big, head-strong rebel of a brother fall from grace. After sometime, I wanted to leave it all behind. So I cut out my grace, fell from home, and I have been here ever since. I have been living on this Earth...for over two thousand years. Just...living among humans...hiding from my family...out on the road, sick for home, always thinking about a complicated father...I still to this day can't even begin to completely understand...and always missing an enigmatic older brother...I never stopped loving.
Ariel is the third of the seven archangels created by God. She is also a major recurring character in BloodRayne & Mia the Vampire Slayer and a main character in the spin-off Host of Heaven. She is the eldest and strongest female archangel, making her among the oldest and most powerful female celestial beings in all of creation. She is also the most compassionate of all of God's angels, as she has often been dubbed "The Compassion of God". As the first female archangel of God, despite being dubbed as the "Big Sister" of the archangels, she is the younger sister of Michael and Lucifer and the older sister of Uriel, Sariel, Raphael, and Gabriel, as well as the rest of the younger angels.
In Heaven, Ariel lived happily with her parents and fellow siblings. She was a powerful enforcer of the Lord and was also very close with a lot of her siblings, her eldest brother Oracle most of all. Following both the Turok-Han war, the War In Heaven, and Oracle's disappearance, Ariel eventually not only became a fallen angel, but also became human by removing her grace. And according to her, in her two-millennia long life on Earth, Ariel had been on many adventures and had also been in love as well, but also Ariel's actions and personality have been heavily influenced by her relationship with Oracle and her desire to live a normal, human life.
In recent times, however, in the fourth season of BloodRayne and Mia the Vampire Slayer, due to her newly-reawakened ability to hear the angels speaking, Ariel was pursued by angels and demons alike, but mainly by angels and her elder brother Michael, who sent angels to hunt her down as punishment for what he described as "her perceived betrayal." When Team Balance discovered her, they protected her until she managed to regain her grace, thanks to Oracle, and fend off her pursuers herself. Once gaining her grace back, Ariel continued to battle alongside Oracle during the Apocalypse, even going as far as to confront Michael, but also aiding Oracle in saving Gabriel from Michael's clutches.
After the Apocalypse ended and Lucifer was defeated and imprisoned, Ariel, Oracle, and other angels returned to Heaven and continued to watch over humanity. When God left Oracle in charge due to His departure from Heaven, Ariel was shocked by this, as were so many others. But during Oracle's civil war/campaign with Michael in Heaven to try and rule it, Ariel, among many other angels, stood by Oracle's side to help him win and beat Michael. After Oracle had defeated Michael and was appointed as the new King of Heaven, Ariel, along with Gabriel and all other angels, stood by right Oracle's side and Ariel joined him and was appointed as his right-hand and direct lieutenant. Until the resurrection of her younger sister Sariel, Ariel was (for a time) the sole female archangel.
Currently, following Michael's defeat, Eartheia's resurrection, and following Amara's reconciliation with God, Ariel resides in Heaven as Oracle's second in command in Heaven, thus being Commander of the Holy Host, a position which Michael previously had.
Born long before the dawn of creation, Ariel was the third archangel created by God and Aurora. She served as a superior of the middle and lower sphere of angels, living in Heaven with her infinite brothers and sisters. She was also the closest sibling with Oracle, who noted that they had "been through just about everything together." On the day of her creation, Ariel was comforted by the Original Angel forming a deep and extremely close bond. She had also grown to love and idolized Oracle more than anyone. Ariel also met, saw, and heard God and followed his orders out of pure faith. When Oracle was first forming the Host of Heaven, Ariel helped him all the time in training the younger angels. She also was mentored by him in the use of magic.
Turok-Hans[]
Sometime after the creation of the Turok-Hans, God's very first beasts, they proved to destructively hungry and Ariel was not only among those angels that hunted them almost to extinction, but she also fought in the war side-by-side with Oracle. She was also there when she watched God and Oracle lock the Turok-Hans away in Purgatory.
Creation of Humanity[]
When God created humans and commanded each and every one of his angels to honor, love, and serve them, Ariel was among those that willingly followed that order, as she was interested in humans.
The Rebellion[]
“
It was a nightmare, to say the least. I watched my brothers and sisters fight each other. And as I shed the blood of my siblings, I knew one thing. The thing I was right about the most when it came to myself: nothing can surpass the sadness and grief I felt at that moment. I drenched myself in the blood of my siblings, all the while I lamented my efforts to save Lucifer, lamented that the good brother I loved was gone. You know what my feelings towards Lucifer are? I do not hate him, I pity him. I was angry that he started it all, sure, but unlike Michael, I never resented him. After all, how can I blame him when I too failed? It was only when Oracle vanished, as I cried and searched for him, the panic I felt could had washed away all the blood and sadness I had over that.
„
— Ariel, to the others, about what she felt towards Lucifer and his rebellion
When Lucifer rebelled against them, Ariel watched in horror as her older brother turned the angels against each other and was one of the angels who tried to maintain peace. She even tried to talk to Lucifer, but found his reasons to detest humans as being utterly unrighteous. Henceforth, she reluctantly told Oracle that Lucifer would not bend. She willingly stood right by God's, Oracle's, and Michael's side and helped them defeat Lucifer and his legion of wicked and rebellious Angels. Ariel described the experience as "a nightmare, to say the least", the very first time she had experienced having to kill her own siblings and being betrayed by them, so much so that only the panic she felt over Oracle's disappearance matched the grief and sadness she felt towards having to shed so many blood. Watching Lucifer be cast down from Heaven was painful to her, and when Lucifer waged yet another war, Ariel was one of the few angels to not hate Lucifer, but simply pitied him. Ariel still remembered and lamented that the once good angel that Lucifer was had been replaced by the monster he had became.
Oracle's Disappearance[]
In the aftermath of Lucifer's rebellion and the fall of Adam and Eve, Oracle had since disappeared from Heaven and Ariel was the first one to discover he was gone and was the last one to see him before he vanished. When she heard he disappeared and found no sight of him, she, like all her siblings but more so than they did, cried and wailed that he was gone. However, she desperately tried to find him and bring him back home, searching all the universes, all worlds, and all planes of existence for him. She mentioned to Rayne and Mia that when Oracle could not be found, she was one of the few that never gave up looking for him nor even on the knowledge that one day he would come home.
Watching the Human Race[]
Ariel observed humans and became enamored with them, coming to believe that her own kind were emotionless and without any will of their own in comparison. Wanting to experience life as a human herself, she removed her grace through an agonizing process she compared to cutting out one's own kidneys using a butter knife and she became human.
Departure[]
Ariel then spent the next 2000 years on Earth as a human girl, but did still have some powers of her own, including longevity and her ability to hear angel radio. However, on Earth, she believed that Oracle was there when he disappeared and was still looking for him.
Earth Adventures[]
On the Earth, like her brothers Oracle and Gabriel, Ariel witnessed many events on the Earth over the past 2000 years.
Ides of March, 44 BC[]
Ariel mentioned that she witnessed the murder of Julius Caesar on March 15th, 44 BC.
Italy, 1114[]
Ariel was residing in Italy in the 12th century she they met a supernatural vampire hunter named Alexander. Ariel soon fell in love with him. During this time, Alexander and Ariel planned to get married. They even picked out a church and he shared a lot of information with her about his plans for hunting vampires before inviting Ariel to travel with him, an offer she enthusiastically accepted. However, unbeknownst to her, a group of vampire came in and killed Alexander, but with what she was taught, she fought back and killed the vampire. Ariel then buried Alexander along with his sword at the church where they had planned to marry before she left to find a new home.
BloodRayne & Mia the Vampire Slayer the Series[]

Mightiest Female Celestial[]
Ariel eventually heard an angel say "Lucifer will be out" inside her head. After that, she started to hear other angels talking. Ariel became hysterical when trying to warn people about the oncoming Apocalypse and had to be subdued by four men. She was subsequently committed to the Connor Beverly Behavioral Medicine Center with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. She drew pictures of the seals Petrova, Dracula, and Lilith broke and scribbled messages pertaining to them in a sketchbook.
While Rayne, Mia, Sidney, and Nigel helped and tried to help get her grace back, Angels interceded. While the group was out powered, an angel named Camael, was hired to kill her. After overpowering her, Camael grabs Ariel's collar and lifts her off the ground, but before he could kill her, a brilliant bright light appears from the sky and in it is the form of Oracle himself, who shows up and defeats the angels. After that, the two angel siblings happily greet one another, with Ariel embracing him while crying of happiness. Then he gives Ariel her grace back and now having her grace restored, she is now an archangel again.

Following the release of Lucifer, Ariel continued to aid Oracle in his attempts to triple Lucifer of his forces.
When Michael came to the Team to gain their trust, Ariel arrives and without speaking any word to them, sends the team through time to protect them from her older brother. Ariel and Michael fight, but Michael was able to overpower her with ease, despite her having an archangel blade and after a brutal and intense fight, her older brother beat her to a bloody mess and unconsciousness and snapped her claws painfully before breaking her archangel blade and leaving. Once she recovered, Ariel immediately travels to the time she sent the team to protect them, but due to being weakened, thanks to the beating she was subjected to, Ariel was weakened and fell unconscious but the Team saved her and she told them it was Michael. However, because of Ariel having become weak, she can no longer travel back to the future, much less send them on their own, as Michael would be after them, so she reluctantly tells the Team until she heals, which would take days, their only shot of returning to their time is Michael before passing out again. Unconscious and weakened, she could do nothing as fallen angels attacks Mia and Rayne but watches in shock as Michael kills the Angel. Michael sends the Team back but leaves Ariel, as she could heal and eventually return. Later on, she was able to return the future after healing.

Personality[]
For an angel, even an archangel, Ariel is earnest, caring, compassionate, supportive, sweet, and trusting to a fault: despite the resentment she felt at Rayne's true natures, she accepted that Rayne is indeed different from other supernatural creatures and treated her in a friendly manner after they saved her life, and has repeatedly tried to protect and guide Oracle, despite the fact that he is her oldest brother. She held a bitter grudge against anyone who broke that trust or otherwise hurt her, though she would still be willing to help that person. Ariel was initially timid, distressed, and uncertain when Rayne, Mia, Sidney, and Nigel met her, but became more authoritative and reserved upon regaining her memories and even more so when she regained her grace. She was extremely dedicated to any cause she pledged herself to. Like her younger brother Gabriel, she enjoyed sex and sweets.
Ariel when discussing her dissatisfaction as an archangel with Uriel
Ariel was dissatisfied with her existence as an archangel. According to her, she once didn't actually have that much problem with the rules, and Michael even stated she would reinforce them. However, the fall of Lucifer and countless other angels, her being forced to kill thousands of them, left her entirely disillusioned over the strict rules governing her kind. Angels under her charge were known to hold her in a personal high regard due to her being much more tolerating. While at first she longed to return to Heaven during her station on Earth, she grew hungry for humanity and risked the wrath of her family by falling for the sake of her own happiness; this shows that Ariel had a certain recklessness and selfishness. She had desired to become human and fulfill her dreams of having kids and family of her own. She feared punishment for her disobedience, but once she repressed her true identity, she became happy and well-adjusted with many friends and a promising future. She resented her siblings for their treatment of her as an abomination, with the only exception of her archangel siblings and Oracle, but also wanted their companionship and actively encouraged them to join her. Ariel also had a clear disdain towards the idea of murdering and harming her siblings, although not to the same level as Oracle, due to the trauma she suffered during the War: she showed remorse over killing a few angels during the Apocalypse and before she joined Oracle's war with Michael, Ariel non-lethally incapacitated the angels that challenged her. She still became willing to kill her siblings, but openly preferred mercy and diplomacy when leading her troops.
Unlike many other angels, Ariel viewed humans as superior to her own kind; she especially valued their capacity for emotions. Her attachment to humanity was one of her strongest traits: she tore out her own grace to experience life as a human, she confessed to Rayne and Mia that she would have preferred not to turn back into an archangel, and she helped Rayne, Mia, Sidney, and Nigel in stopping The Apocalypse, which would save billions of lives and preserve free will.
More than anything and everything else in all creation, Ariel loves her oldest brother Oracle unconditionally and is more than willing to do anything for him, such as commit extreme actions for the greater good or even die for him, as she is beyond extremely loyal to him, more so than she is to God, and that is what matters most to her. She also can get angry from not just angels but from anyone insulting Oracle as she tried to hurt Lilith disgracing his memory. After Oracle disappeared, Ariel cried and whaled deeply, sometimes even crying herself to sleep and also calling out her brother's name. She fought and tried to kill her younger brother Uriel to prevent him from serving and freeing Lucifer, as well as to save Oracle. When Oracle and Michael declared civil war, Ariel willingly stood by Oracle's side as did so many other angels. In her desperation to stop the upcoming New Apocalypse and prevent Michael from taking over Heaven, she even decided to help the Team with whatever they needed so she could have Oracle focus on stopping Michael to prevent Lucifer from rising.
Ariel is also one of the few Angels who do not have any resentment or disrespect for God, even after he left. She admits that she didn't understand him completely, but she firmly believed he was a just, honorable, if not complicated being. She was unaware of it due to having left before God did but was shocked by it. Nevertheless, Ariel continues to defend God without hesitation and was visibly displeased when Mia insulted God to the point that she pushed her with above average force. Ariel also stated that she will not tolerate another insult on God and when Oracle expresses shock that Ariel didn't beat up the Team for doing that, she admits that while she will not let Oracle fight Lucifer, she took no pleasure in hearing the insult.
Ariel is known for her inability to control her rage, much to the annoyance of Oracle. She will not hesitate to lash out on anyone, even the undeniably stronger Michael and even Oracle (whom she highly respects), who angers her. She expresses great rage against Michael for ordering her death to the point of immediately charging at him. Her anger towards Lucifer was even far greater due to the death of Keyes, to the point where she openly expressed an unhinged and bloodthirsty desire to kill Lucifer even though he had apologized, showing tremendously explosive rage that was enough to catch even the Lightbringer off guard and surprise even Michael, even going so far as to spit with rage and shake in anger. Ariel went as far as to brutally assault Lucifer with her fists, only being stopped by Oracle.
Physical Appearance[]
As the first and oldest female archangel, the second highest order of angels, Ariel's true form is composed of bright light that is incredibly beautiful but is also so horrifying and dangerous that it can blind and even kill humans, witches, monsters, and even demons upon direct eye contact. As an archangel, Ariel also possesses a pair of large, white parrot-like wings, as seen when right before she vanished after regaining her grace.
Human physically, Ariel's human body was that of a very beautiful and very attractive young woman with long natural blonde hair, light blue eyes, full lips, and pale light skin. She appears as a tall and slim Caucasian female. For wardrobe, she has outfits authentic to the 21st century.
Ariel has often seen wearing stylish and mature clothing with trendy coats. She is mostly seen wearing the colors of white, black, brown or gray. She often wears low-heeled boots and shoes with dark jeans or leggings. In her early years as a human, she was very in-tuned with fashion and her style was very "in" to the times. For example, in the 1920's, Ariel wore the classic "flapper" dresses with long pearl necklaces and matching jewelry.
Ariel has long, icy blonde-hair, which is usually styled with soft waves; however, she can occasionally be seen with straight hair or pulled back in a casual style, rarely wearing any hair accessories. In early centuries, Ariel had long, waist length hair with braids and flowers; however her hair changes with the times.
During special occasions, such as dances and balls, Ariel wears very elegant dresses, for example, at the Mikaelson's Ball she wore a beautiful green one-shoulder dress. However, she mainly wears slacks and jeans and has an overall very formal sense of style. Ariel's makeup usage is minimal, subtle daily; but she tends to wear more for special occasions.
As the third eldest archangel as well as the first female archangel, Ariel is one of the oldest and most powerful beings to exist in all of creation, possessing considerable supernatural power that also makes her an extremely powerful archangel of Heaven. Ariel is of the first choir or sphere of the celestial hierarchy of Heaven. This endows her with the strength and radiance of a protector and warrior of celestial proportions as her position as an archangel affords her authority over angels, as well as the power to guard holy objects and the soul itself as it transitions from life into the afterlife. Like all archangels, Ariel is chief among angels in Heaven and possesses great influence within the celestial spheres of other worlds and is both feared and respected as an emissary of the Creator, alongside her fellow archangels within the first choir. She out-ranked even fellow younger archangels, with the only exception being Lucifer, Michael, and Oracle. She commanded great respect from other angels, including ones such as Camael, Zachariah, and even her brother Uriel, as well as being feared by most of them. Below are listed all of the powers that Ariel has displayed and demonstrated in the show.
Archangel Physiology: As the eldest female archangel, Ariel is immensely powerful. Considering the fact that she is one of the strongest and most powerful angels in the history of all creation, her powers far outclass that of other angels, except the Seraphim. Although she is rivaled only by her fellow archangel siblings at their peak, she even outmatches Gabriel, Raphael, Sariel, and Uriel (with only Michael and Lucifer exceeding her) and she is surpassed only by Eartheia, Oracle and the Primordial Beings. Indeed, Ariel is the fifth most powerful angel in general and is the second most powerful female angel currently in all of existence, after Eartheia respectively.
Immortality: Ariel, like all celestial beings, is immortal and therefore is not subject to time, aging, or diseases, and doesn't need to breathe, eat, drink, or sleep to sustain herself. Ariel does, however, like all celestial beings because they're all siblings of one another, age and mature, as she is the first and oldest female archangel in all of creation. She is over 10 billion years old and possesses the appearance of a young woman in her prime.
Invulnerability: Ariel, like all archangels, is resistant to any form of harm whatsoever, and can't even be harmed by other beings, unless something angelic is involved, or if she is fighting another archangel. Ariel is immune to death from and cannot be harmed or killed by conventional means. Being shot in the chest by Nyssa with arrows in "Sin City" merely irritated her, not notably hurting her or even slowing her down. Mia noted that both standard weaponry (i.e. knives and guns) and common anti-creature measures (i.e. iron and Holy Water) would not kill Ariel or even slow her down, and would probably only irritate her. When Riley stabbed her with a crowbar, Ariel seemed mostly unfazed, only spitting up a small amount of blood and pulling the crowbar out of her chest.
Regenerative Healing Factor: When Ariel's vessel or even Ariel herself does get damaged, even by something angelic, she can heal the wound(s) instantly.
Lower Tier Nigh-Omnipotence: Being an elder archangel (as well as the oldest female archangel) and the second oldest female angelic being, Ariel is endowed with a vast supply of unimaginable supernatural power, allowing her to do almost anything she wishes. She can change reality, being able to do and create things out of thin air such as illusions, fantasies, portals, beings, etc. She can also overpower humans, witches, monsters, ghosts, fairies, reapers, pagans, demons and even younger angels. She effortlessly obliterated a younger angel who was sent to kill her with a snap of her fingers and later killed several other demons who were also sent to kill her. She could kill humans with a single thought or word, causing them to literally choke on their own tongues. She can also perform miracles like making the blind see or curing an entire colony of lepers. Ariel even stated that she once told Lucifer about her initial intention to eliminate Hell, an entire spiritual realm. Being the oldest female Archangel, she is louder, larger, and more powerful than almost all other angels. The only ones older and more powerful than her are Lucifer, Michael, the Seraphim, Oracle, and the Primordial Beings. Far superior to most angels, due to her great power and light, Ariel, alongside Michael, Lucifer, Oracle, Eartheia, Raphael, Gabriel, Psychics, Lesser Angels, Demons, Witches, Fairies, Ghosts, Aurora, Death, Oberon, Eve and Magnus, was able to fight against Amara, the primordial being of Darkness and an entity at least slightly more powerful than God, and ultimately overpower and fatally injure her.
Angelic Possession: Ariel, like all celestial beings, requires a human vessel in order to physically interact with humans on Earth, as it is a law that applies for all angelic beings. She also requires the vessels consent. However, Ariel's original human body was destroyed by the restoration of her grace. She had it recreated by Oracle and used it as her human vessel. Additionally, as an archangel, Ariel is able to manifest a body for herself and therefore, has no need to possess someone.
Biokinesis: With a simple wave of her hand, Ariel once caused a witch to spontaneously explode.
Advanced Chronokinesis: Being an archangel, Ariel has much better control over time than other angels. In addition to freezing/halting it when on Earth, she is also able to travel forwards and backwards through time, and even take others with her. She can also send others through time and retrieve them without needing to actually be there.
Deflection: When Adalind launched a blast of fire, Ariel was able to deflect the shot with only a wave of her hand.
Advanced Healing Touch: Ariel is able to heal the wounds of humans and even other angels with ease by simply touching them. She once did this to heal Gabriel of his wounds but also to heal the Team from many wounds they suffered.
Holy Illumination White Light: By raising her hand, Ariel, like other archangels, can generate a powerful blast of white light from the palm that can destroy anything she wants it to and can obliterate buildings and beings completely by projecting divine light. For example, she once blew apart an entire police station without killing the people inside, and later performed the reverse by concentrating it solely on the demon Azazel so that it did not affect the house she was in at the time. She also once used this power to banish other angels sent to kill her and killed at least a dozen vampires at a diner. This ability apparently relied on her target having their eyes open as she yelled at the Team to shut their eyes when she used it and they were unaffected as a result.
Intangibility: As a celestial spiritual being, Ariel has the ability to pass/move through solid matter without any effort. She once did this to sneak into Gabriel's holding cell in Heaven in order to free him.
Invisibility: Ariel has the ability to become invisible, as she used to watch over humans during her station on Earth.
Manifestation: As an archangel, Ariel can manifest a corporeal body for herself and she therefore, has no need to possess humans.
Power Negation: Ariel is capable of neutralizing the power of other creatures, including an angel's powers.
Resurrection: Ariel, like all archangels, can easily revive dead people.
Advanced Pyrokinesis: Ariel is able to effortlessly create, extinguish, and manipulate fire. She can use this as an offensive attack as well, even against other angels.
Advanced Smiting: Being the most powerful female archangel, Ariel possesses a strong and powerful smiting ability. She demonstrated this ability in "The Song Remains the Same" when she smote Mr. Woodson offscreen and also when she used this ability on Hybrids, Witches, Demons, and even other angels.
Highly Advanced Supernatural Senses: Ariel's senses of smell, sight, and hearing, even while in human form, are far superior to those of humans as well as even other angels.
Highly Advanced Supernatural Speed: Ariel possesses astronomical speed, making her faster than most other angels. She also has similar astronomical reflexes as she caught many weapons thrown at her.
Highly Advanced Supernatural Agility: Ariel's agility is cosmically superior to that of humans, hunters, monsters, gods, and even other angels. Therefore, she can move quickly, jump, climb and run astronomically fast without any difficulty or exhaustion.
Highly Advanced Supernatural Stamina: As an archangelic celestial being, Ariel, even when in her vessel or her own corporal body, is not subject to fatigue or hunger while in his true spiritual form. She does not require food, sleep, water or air to sustain herself. Even when she was an archangel again, being fallen didn't take any of her powers away.
Highly Advanced Supernatural Strength: Being the first and oldest female archangel, Ariel, like all archangels, is endowed with one of the highest levels of dramatically increased supernatural physical strength, more than enough so to throw individuals across the room without effort. Her strength is comparable to that of a god; able to bend steel in her bare hands, lift cars and other heavy objects with ease, change the course of rivers, leap tall buildings in a single bound, do the work of several laborers in half the time, send grown men flying with the slightest touch, strike opponents with the force of a falling boulder or speeding car, shatter concrete like glass, hold opponents in an unbreakable steel grip, and move stars or planets. As an archangel, Ariel is even significantly much stronger than humans, hunters, ghosts, slayers, monsters, fairies, reapers, pagans, demons, lower and middle angels, and the Turok-Hans; able to easily overpower even the highest level demon and monster. Creatures and monsters are out-muscled when confronted by Ariel. During a fight in the S.T.A.R Labs, she flung Rayne across a room and into a wall by hitting her with one arm. It took a lot of human men to temporarily restrain her. When Ariel got involved in a physical struggle with Mia, she quickly overpowered her, despite Mia being a slayer. When Ariel fought Sara Lance and Mia in "No Rest for the Wicked", she punched Sara hard enough to knock her against a post and make her fall to the ground, stunned, and kicked Mia to land a short distance away and roll across the floor. She also grabbed Oliver and pinned him against a wall in "No Rest For The Wicked" and "Metamorphosis", with him unable to get free until she let him go. Beyond mere battle, Ariel can lift several dozen tons without injury or strain; she can break free of chain restraints, bend steel in her bare hands, rip open a safe, and throw pickups without effort or requiring any rest. However, while stronger than the younger archangels, Ariel's somewhat rusty skills made her outmatched by Uriel and easily overpowered by Michael, who she is not a match for in strength due to him being older and more powerful. In addition, despite being strong enough to combat him for just a brief amount of time, she is relatively weaker than her oldest brother Oracle, who once even casually knocked her out with punch.
Advanced Telekinesis: Being an archangel, Ariel has the ability to move and otherwise influence objects with her mind without any effort. She used a hand gesture to shut and lock the doors of St. Mary's Convent on demons in "Lucifer Rising". Ariel also broke a grown vampire's neck without touching it, and later used telekinesis to fling Riley across the room, holding him immobilized to a wall at the same time she did the same to Zachariah, pinning him to a table. Even while a human, Ariel consciously threw a dresser with her mind with enough force to knock out a human, and unconsciously made the door to the panic room slam shut and lock.
Advanced Telepathy: Ariel heard other angels' conversations in her mind. She can also read the minds of humans, creatures, and lesser angels.
Dream Walking: Ariel contacted Rayne in "The Song Remains the Same" by appearing in the middle of an erotic dream he was having and causing the strippers he was dreaming about to vanish. As soon as she finished passing on her message, she had Rayne wake up to go meet her.
Induced Sedation: Ariel usually deals with troublesome Humans by touching her hand to their foreheads, which apparently results in instant unconsciousness.
Memory Manipulation: Ariel can remove or restore memories of humans.
Teleportation: Ariel, like all celestial beings, can vanish and reappear anywhere in time, space, and any place on the face of the Earth, instantly transporting herself to anywhere on Earth. She can do so silently if she wished, as shown when she appeared behind Uriel and caught him off-guard to kill him. Ariel often disappears from or suddenly appears at one location. In "The Monster at the End of This Book", Ariel appeared suddenly behind Mia inside a house after knocking on the door and waiting for her to answer it. She surprised a guard at St. Mary's Convent in "Lucifer Rising" by showing up out of nowhere from behind him.
Wings: As an angel, Ariel possesses a pair of very large, white colored, macaw-like wings that extend from her shoulders.
Flight: Like all angelic celestial beings, Ariel is independent of gravity and therefore can use her wings to fly at astonishing speeds that far exceed the sound barrier.
Wing Blades: Additionally, Ariel’s wings possess sharp blades that can cut through anything, therefore, allowing her to slice her enemies in half.
Wing Shields: Ariel’s wings can also protect her from damage, such as melee weapons or gun fire.
Lower-Tier Nigh-Omniscience: As an archangel, much like Michael and Lucifer, Ariel possesses an immense amount of knowledge of all of Creation.
Magical Knowledge: Although at that time Ariel did not know what it was, she knew how to create an Enochian sigil out of her blood that could temporarily banish angels.
Precognition: Ariel can see glimpses of the future and can accurately predict future events, but never the entire picture.
As a fallen angel and once she removed her grace, Ariel lost most of her powers but not all of them. Even as a mere human, Ariel was still a cunning being. However, she more often relied upon on a combination of trickery, ambushing opponents, and martial arts. Nevertheless, she demonstrated herself to be capable of evading and fending off the forces. When she got her grace back, thanks to Oracle, she returned to her status as one of the most powerful supernatural beings in existence.
Enhanced Strength: It took four human men to restrain Ariel. During a moment of panic, she flung Mia across Bobby's Panic Room and into a wall by hitting him with one arm.
Telekinesis: Ariel consciously threw a dresser with her mind with enough force to knock out a possessed human, and unconsciously made the door to the panic room slam shut and lock.
Telepathy: Ariel heard other angels' conversations in her mind.
Longevity: Whilst she was merely human, Ariel didn't age a day. She mentioned that she has been on Earth for 2,000 years, and has remained physically the same since then.
Astral Perception: Ariel saw the true forms of Rayne and Mina. She also sensed Camael and Uriel's approach towards the end of "I Know What You Did Last Summer", though she did not recognize or identify them.
Magical Knowledge: Even merely being human, Ariel did know how to create an Enochian sigil out of her blood that could temporarily banish angels.
Skills and Talents[]
Whether an Archangel or Human being, Ariel possesses amazing skills and talents.
Heavenly Host Training: As an archangel, Ariel has received and gone through the highest levels of training to become an angelic warrior of God, having been trained by Oracle himself, therefore making her an extremely skilled fighter. Even as human, the leader of the Powers, Camael, had difficulty beating her. At full power, Ariel was capable of holding off her younger archangel brother Uriel. However, Michael and Lucifer have both said that she focused more on magic than actual combat and Michael even said "Sister, you were always quite unusual among us, you know; rarely practicing, only learning lots of magic tricks from Oracle. I mean, really, Ariel. You really need a lot more training." This has made her skills rather underpowered as displayed by how Gabriel was able to outfight her while Michael easily defeated Ariel. However, Ariel eventually acknowledges her mistake and trains with her siblings a lot more to compensate for her lack of skill.
Expert Tactician/Leader: Ariel is a highly proficient strategist, as she was able to devise a plan to outsmart Uriel and even was the one who made the complex plan that allowed her and the Teams to stand up against an injured Oracle and even briefly subdue him, which impressed him. As the oldest female archangel, Ariel has also displayed great leadership skills as she led a team of angels against a large group Turok-Hans.
Master Skilled Fighter: As an archangel, the second highest order of angels, Ariel is a highly skilled fighter. During her early years after her creation, she received extensive hand-to-hand combat training. This is because Oracle taught her self-defense, however her far greater interest in magic made her skills only sufficient and this was a flaw easily exploitable by both Michael and Oracle, as Michael easily defeated her in their fight and left her badly wounded and Oracle effortlessly knocked her out with a single punch after easily dodging her strikes. Later on, she later began increasing her skills in boxing and combat via training under Oracle. This training allowed her to easily beat all kinds of other beings, such as humans, ghosts, monsters, gods, witches, demons, and even other angels, however, she still ends up getting injured when fighting against another archangel, though she proves a match against her archangel siblings.
Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Being an archangel, Ariel possesses remarkable hand-to-hand prowess, being able to kill many demons, monsters, and angels with ease. Although her style was much more offensive, with her always attacking and rarely defending, with even Michael distastefully saying Ariel was always not a good defender, after Rayne taught her a few more moves, Ariel proves to be a quick learner and improved her skills enough to stand against an injured and weakened Oracle for a minute, with even Oracle praising her on her new skills and forcing him to exert a bit more effort than their last altercation, able to land a few blows on his own, which makes her, astonishingly, one of the very few angels to have ever managed to hit Oracle. She later even stood toe-to-toe against Evtoth — despite the latter's superior Seraph powers, long enough for Oracle to save her.
Master Swordswoman: As an archangel, Ariel is an excellent swordswoman. She used a sword to defeat several other angels. She was able to briefly fight against Michael, but was swiftly beaten, and hold off Uriel for quite some time. Rayne later gave her some of the fighting books Oracle gave her and she became good enough to fight against Oracle using her sword, even landing a slash, albeit Oracle was unarmed and weakened considerably from his fight with Michael. Once Oracle used his sword however, he easily beat Ariel, although she did last longer than Rayne, blocking 4 more moves before being disarmed and beaten. Using her sword, she is able to overpower and capture the Greater DemonAbbaddon. She was able to defeat some demons using one of Oracle's blades by herself.
Multilingualism: In addition to her native language Enochian, Ariel is capable of fluently speaking other languages as well, such as English, Arabic, Japanese, etc.
Weaknesses[]
Even though Ariel is the eldest sister of the archangels and is one of the oldest and mightiest female celestial being in existence, she herself has weaknesses of her own inherited in all archangels.
Harming, Misleading and Trapping[]
Turok-Hans: As God's first beasts and being almost as old as Angels, Turok-Hans can harm archangels, including Ariel.
Turk-Han Bite: While a Turok-Han bite can't kill Ariel, it weakens her and causes hallucinations. The effects are temporary and only lasts for a few hours.
Holy Fire: As powerful as she is, Ariel can be trapped in a holy ring of fire and passing through the flames will kill her.
Enochian Sigils: Even being the oldest and most powerful female archangel, even Ariel cannot locate someone if they are warded by enochian sigils.
Grace Removal: Like all angels, Ariel can have her grace removed and be turned human which is what has happened to her when she left Heaven.
Mortality: When she was human, Ariel was vulnerable to all mortal injuries after she was removed of her grace.
Lucifer's Cage: One of God's very own creations, originally built to imprison Lucifer. This cell can hold any angel, including Ariel, without any internal means of escape.
Banishing or Destroying[]
Beings[]
Archangels: While lower classes of angels can't physically hurt Ariel, with their own strength, Archangels can physically hurt each other. Ariel's closest siblings are capable of harming her, like Gabriel did with Lucifer. However, she is significantly stronger than Gabriel, Raphael, Sariel, and Uriel but due to her skill being lesser than them, they have surprisingly high chance of victory against her, with Uriel once overpowering her. Michael once managed to beat her senseless and was very close to killing her, with little effort.
Seraphim: As the first angels, the Seraphim can overpower and kill Ariel. However, because she is an archangel, she is able to put up a fight against them at least for a short time.
Oracle: Being the Original Seraphim Angel, Oracle is much more powerful than Ariel and can kill her with ease.
Primordial Beings: As they predate all of creation, the Primordial Beings are more powerful than and can kill Ariel.
Weapons[]
Archangel Blade: Designed specifically to kill Archangels, Archangel blades can harm and kill Ariel. However only Archangels themselves are able to get close enough to use the blade.
Original Angelic Blades: Being the most powerful angelic blades ever created and among the most powerful weapons in creation carried by Oracle himself, these blades can harm and kill archangels, including Ariel.
Death's Scythe: Being a weapon forged by Death himself, Death's Scythe can literately kill anything.
Lim 'E Light: This sword can eradicate Ariel out of existence completely.
Relationships[]
Ariel and Oracle[]
“
You are my brother, Oracle. And I have never stopped and will never stop loving you for any amount of time. Not for the very existence of me. You know, when you disappeared, I was so afraid that I thought I lost you forever, but I was even more terrified when I thought you were dead. I wanted nothing more than to find you and bring you home or, at the very least, to know that you were okay and for you to come back. I spent almost 200,000 years searching everywhere in all of Creation for you and the last 2,000 of those years traveling the Earth to find you. But even if I didn't, you came out of your exile and showed yourself to me. I was shocked to see you again. My heart stopped the moment I saw you. And that was the happiest I had ever been in...forever. Oracle, I do not care where you were, how long you were gone, how far from home you went, or even what you did. You are my brother. And I love you so much. All I care about right now...is that you are alive, you're safe, and you're home...where you belong.
Oracle is Ariel's oldest brother, whom she loves more than anything and everything else in the entirety of creation. Out of all his siblings, Oracle is closest to her and cares very deeply for her. They are loyal to each other. Oracle is without a doubt the sibling Ariel respects most out of all her siblings. They have never left each other's side and stood by one another through thick and thin. However, when Oracle disappeared from Heaven, Ariel was one of the few angels that never gave up looking form him, as she once mentioned. Thousands of years ago, Ariel also once had a report that he was on Earth, and whilst Michael told her to leave it alone, she trusted her instincts and because her love for her oldest brother was too strong, she went to Earth to look for him anyway, but never found him. But as she remembered how much Oracle liked Earth, she cut out her grace and (in a sense) followed both Oracle and Gabriel to Earth. The moment they were reunited, she was beyond overjoyed to see him again that she cried of happiness while embracing him. She was with him all the way through the end of the Apocalypse and, though she still loved her fallen brother Lucifer, Ariel wanted Oracle to beat him. However, she disapproved of Oracle's plan to fight Lucifer at first and tried to stop him, only to be convinced it was the only way. Upon Oracle's return to Heaven, she was the first one to welcome him home with open arms. After Oracle declared civil war with Michael, she willingly stood as Oracle's side as his second in command. When Oracle was "supposedly" killed by Michael, Ariel was heartbroken after losing her oldest brother, whom she loved very much and who never left her side. However, once he returned because he "supposedly" faked his own death, Ariel was again very happy to see him. Currently, Ariel resides with Oracle as his right-hand, since he is the new King of Heaven.
Ariel and Gabriel[]
“
I may be your younger brother, Ariel, but I'm gonna watch out for you if it's the last thing I'll do. Because you are my sister, and I've loved you eons longer than any of our younger brothers and sisters have existed in all of creation.
Gabriel is Ariel's younger archangel brother. Gabriel is very positive and supportive towards his oldest sister. Ariel is the one person, aside from Oracle and Lucifer, who knows Gabriel better than anyone else: for example, she knows about his favorite holidays, when he's lying, or when he's telling the truth. He has always been her partner in crime. He also helped her many times to find Oracle when he disappeared from Heaven. When Gabriel encounters her on Earth, he is not happy to see her as she did not follow him to Earth when he asked her too, which strains their relationship, and Gabriel did nothing when Michael stripped her of her grace. However, he did have enough compassion for her to give her money to live out her life on Earth. When Gabriel returned to Heaven and he finally saw Ariel, they were really happy to see each other, especially because they were on Oracle's side to help him rule Heaven and stop Michael from taking over. Ariel and Gabriel seem really close because no matter what, they still love each other. Gabriel truly cares about her and protects her.
Ariel and Lucifer[]
Lucifer is Ariel's older brother. Originally, Ariel had a better relationship with Lucifer than Michael. However, she was horrified when he rebelled and became furious for all he did in his rebellion and while she did ask God not to kill him, she watched nonchalantly as Michael carried the chained Lucifer to the Cage. Her rage towards him increased greatly when Keyes, her lover, was murdered by demons. However, she still loves him and admits it is not an easy choice for her to side against him. When they met for the first time in many millennia, Ariel immediately expressed a surprisingly great desire to fight him to the death, even though she knew Lucifer is far more skilled and powerful than she is. The redeemed Lucifer was courteous towards her and showed genuine remorse for killing Keyes, but she refused to forgave him and attacked him. Of course, Lucifer does not fight back and allowed her to beat him up, in which she was only stopped by Oracle himself. However, upon seeing his selflessness, Ariel was finally able to forgive Lucifer.
As the oldest of the Archangels, Michael is Ariel's older archangel brother. Her relationship with him has been dysfunctional at times. Michael loves his sister, but has a habit of being very critical towards Ariel due to her actions. After she requests him to let her go to the Earth to search for Oracle (whilst he originally told her to leave it alone and not go), Michael eventually agrees, provided that she go a whole time on Earth without using her archangel powers and abilities. However, she learns it was all a test. Ariel later earned herself Michael's genuine dislike when she decided to strip herself of her grace, at which point Michael gave her a chance by making her human but when she regained her memories and powers and refused to return, Michael knew that she had to die and reluctantly and remorsefully ordered her execution but Oracle saved her. Ariel had heard rumors of Michael's rule and the more she learns about it, the more resentful she becomes of her brother and she even raged at Oracle for not taking Michael on, which was enough to leave even Oracle shocked. When they first met after the failed execution, the very presence of Michael with the beaten Gabriel made her rage and attack him fiercely with Ultima but he easily repelled her attack with Heaven Judgement and tossed her away. She later fought her older brother to prevent him from meeting the team but was no match for Michael and was severely beaten and mocked but left alive. Later, Michael spared her again when they met in 1987 and Ariel, despite her battered state, refuses to go down and looks at him with actual hatred that seems to cause him to briefly hesitate up until Oracle came and send her back. After the angels win the fight in the apocalypse and return to Heaven and after God disappears sometime after Oracle's return, Michael tries to convince Ariel to join him in the civil war/campaign against Oracle. Ariel refuses to follow Michael and decides to help Oracle. Her rage of him escalates after he kills Oracle but after Oracle spared him, she started to feel regret for how harshly she treated the now repentant Michael and she eventually fully reconciles with him.
Ariel and God[]
God is Ariel's father. Ariel says that she was fully loyal to him and still loves him very much. While she does not understand nor can she condone God leaving, Ariel nevertheless defends God fiercely. She even angrily pushed Mia away when she insulted God for being pathetic and later was visibly annoyed when Rayne mocked him. Even Oracle was shocked by how Ariel did not defend God and Ariel said she took no pleasure on it and will beat up Rayne after she knocked some sense into Oracle. When they finally reunited, Ariel also happily greeted her father when he finally came to help.
