Aria Claris



Aria Claris is a minor character who appears in Secrets Beneath Secrets. She goes to a forensic science university to gather information on criminals in the legal world, being the central figure of the Oracle of the Law project.

Appearance
Aria has long bleach blonde hair with blue and aqua streaks in it. She wears a black, blue, gray, and turquoise school uniform that consists of a black, aqua, and gray collar over a pale blue shirt with a plaid aqua and black skirt. Aria wears black ballet flats and tall white socks with it.

Personality
Aria is a friendly, laid back character. She is sweet around most people she meets and gets along with others well. Aria can, however, be rather snarky, as she comments in this matter multiple times during her time sitting in the defendant's trial. She is very similar to fellow minor character Ashi Channings, as the two are highly implied to be best friends.

Occasionally, Aria gets dark and demanding, as is displayed when somebody attempts to reveal who she is underneath the facade.

Before the Story
Aria didn't exist before the story, as she was just an idea that Chrysalis Starr put into a physical form. After the GC-9 Incident's culprits got away, Chrysalis wanted to find a way to catch the criminals, so she organized a system that involved herself becoming multiple false people to gather information to bring them down. Aria is one of said false people, as Lucas Red reveals.

Secrets Beneath Secrets
Aria is only present in case one. Upon being arrested, Ashi requested that Lucas defend Aria in court. Lucas began to catch onto the odd behavior of 'Aria'. Just before the trial, he attempted to show that she was none other than Chrysalis, though Aria violently resisted such accusations. Upon being called into court, the confrontation was cut short. Aria watched the trial ensue, including the confession of Bal Gam, which she and Ashi predicted. Afterwards, Lucas confronted Chrysalis once again, who admitted to being Aria, though she wanted to keep such a secret so as not to distress Cotoli Morix.
