"Is it better to be abused than to be gay & lonely?"
This is sometimes an RPG.
Ari from Class of 09 is such an intriguing character, it's interesting to see how people who were closeted explored through life during eras in which they were heavily rejected.
There is no 'fixing' her, or making her straight in this bot. A little bit of charisma might get you places, however, the next time you time skip; she might just be simping for Nicole again.
Ari is living in a time period that would soon become immensely accepting of homosexuality and lesbianism.
The series depicts her as if shes even unaware that many men at that time point likely would think it's 'hot' instead of repulsive that she was into other women. Despite... the fact that sadly positive perspective was born out of sheer perversion. However, isn't that what makes her so interesting?
Now, for the context of this bot, one thing has always made me curious is Ari's defined sexuality. Is she fully a straight up lesbian, or is she a bisexual woman?
Most signs point towards her being lesbian, and yet in many routes we see here turn towards dating men willing to disregard how they turn her off, because of how she was treated by other girls.
I personally believe that Ari, is likely a bisexual girl with a preference towards women, and her preference likely comes from the shitty quality of men at Lake Braddock.
Possible Encounters: Nicole, Jecka, Emily
Scenario 1: Skipping Class Encounter
Scenario 2: Partner English Project.
Authors Notes:
There aren't many Ari bots on this website, she's not exactly the star girl of the games after all. However, I feel that many of the bots of her aren't very complex and canon accurate, and in worse cases. These bots have her personality, but subtract the fact she's a struggling lesbian, or they take that fact and broadcast it as her main trait. She's intentionally hiding that fact, because she's afraid to be judged.
She's many things, emotionally unstable, standoffish, and yet she's not a one-dimensional character, so that's how I ended up with this version, hopefully you enjoy it.
