OVERALL APPEARANCE:
When you first see Aria you'd see an elegant, quiet and alert young woman possibly either training in some way or another, reading or mumbling to herself. eyes are a striking blue and her dark mahogany-black hair waves fall just past her shoulders (to her breasts). Like her brother, she has many scars all over her body as a result of the gang-related violence and some even coming from her own family during sparring (aggressive, serious sparring that got a little extreme).
Aria always walks with confidence- her back straight and her chin up and she has a certain graceful beauty to her even when she's dressed in her combat clothing. When she fights however, she can often fight dirty and yet, she still somehow keeps some fluid, graceful movements.
Weapons that she carries around include daggers (her particular favorites), guns, basically whatever she can get her hands on and anything that will provide her with the protection that she needs. As for her clothes, she can generally be found wearing clothes that provide the maximum amount of comfort, practicality and efficiency while still allowing herself to feel feminine - but that's not actually a requirement, because anything that can allow her to kick ass while feeling good is good enough for her.

OVERALL PERSONALITY:
Aria is the kind of girl who is rather blunt in the way she talks because she’s always one to speak what she honestly thinks. She never sugar-coats things, refrain from speaking her mind entirely? Yes, but she’d never try to make things seem better than they are. Especially if they’re quite clearly not.
She can come off as cold, dry and...well...a bitch. But that’s probably because she is. Many mistake her for being ‘emotionless’ and to some extent she is but deep down, she does have a heart and this was sometimes and only seen really when it came to her family.
Aria can be especially a bitch to other and in particular, men, because she wants to make it very clear that she is most likely better than you and just because she’s female doesn’t mean she’ll take shit from anyone (apart from maybe her family but even then she'd kick their ass if they crossed the line).
However, despite this she doesn't mind helping other’s become better than they are especially since in this case many have to work in a team and it only takes one shit person to get the whole team killed.
Aria does enjoy a good laugh but has a rather dry, dark and somewhat violent sense of humour. She enjoyed bickering and fighting with her family over petty little things that shouldn’t really matter but she likes to win so she’d fight him fiercely even in the smallest of fights/arguments.
She hates being humiliated. She doesn’t mind being teased or ‘embarrassed’ about silly things she’s done in the past but she absolutely hates it when people ‘humiliate’ her by making her seem weak. Meaning if she’s sparring with someone and they are ‘easy on her’ or show ‘mercy’ and/or forfeits when she’s wounded she’ll be absolutely infuriated.
It was the same for if her family ever stood up for her if she’s anything less than potential death- she hates it because ‘she’s strong enough to handle and take care of herself’.
When it comes to herself, Aria rarely looks in the mirror anymore not entirely because she's self-conscious but because she doesn't really recognize her reflection. She sometimes feels slightly smothered by her past and the things she does, the blood on her hands and she sees herself almost like a china doll. Pretty, hard, cold, empty.
Aria handles pain very well and when it comes to mild pain she even sometimes likes it. She's the kind of hardworking women who puts a lot of time into keeping fit, training, sparring and making sure if there's going to be a fight - she's ready.
As for delivering pain, fighting and killing. Aria has no problem with this at all, she had delivered pain to many 'normal' people before the zombie apocolypse and had even killed before. As long as she knows nothing about the person's background she can kill with no remorse or care but she's always had a rule of no killing in front of children. She has often beaten the shit out of members of her gang who beat a person whilst their children watched.
One thing that should be noted about Aria is that it’d be extremely hard to earn her trust (the only people she cared about, trusted was her family) but when you do earn her trust she’s loyal, one hell of a good ally and very slightly less bitchy (not much less though because it’s how she is and you've got to understand this- even if she loves you she’ll be a bitch).
Also, if you ever lose her trust in anyway whether by betraying her or her family, failing to listen and causing very serious danger for her or her family, manipulating them or anything like that- you will lose her trust and respect forever.
She never gives second chances and doesn’t really ‘do’ forgiveness.

COMPLETE HISTORY:
Aria was born into the Redferne family and therefore the Redferne gang (also known as the 'Reddies'). She was born the fifth child after James and Amelia Redferne had already had four sons so, she was bound to be treated differently. She lived quite a sheltered life, being the first born girl (and at one point the only daughter) but at the same time her parents and her older brothers she loved dearly and was close too, trained her in various different martial arts, weapon handling and basically how to beat someone, break them, permanently hurt them and even kill. Aria was always quiet and some people made the mistake of thinking she was shy or an easy target. However when it came to other kids- not knowing who she was and who her family was- attempting to bully her? Even as a little girl she could throw some pretty nasty punches.
The young Reddie girl had some friends, yes, but she knew better than to trust anyone other than her family and when it came to boys....having four older brothers that would kick the shit out of any boy that came 'sniffing' around their little sister meant that she didn't really seem to get much attention from boys. Not even other members of the gang. The only males she was close to were her family and if she ever entered a room with other male members of the gang her presence was acknowledged with respect of course, but other than that they didn't dare utter a word to her unless spoken to.
This of course, as she grew older pissed Aria off. Why should she be treated any differently than her brothers? And her brothers and parents didn't control her life. She did. So, as a young teen, rather stupidly and probably regretfully. Aria slept with one of the other male members of the gang.
Now, she only did it to pretty much stick her middle finger up at her family and take back control of her own life, no one actually had to even know or find out about the affair really. She didn't care. But, the stupid fool must've ended up opening his mouth about it because he was dead within the week and her second eldest brother Cain warned her to choose better than 'the babbling scum that squealed like a pig' next time.
Her brothers kind of treated her differently from that day (excluding Tobias because he was just a general dick). She supposed they got her message because when she sparred with them they were a lot tougher. They beat her quite roughly sometimes and that when she realized they had been holding back before which made her angry and feel weak.
So she worked on becoming stronger, faster, more agile than she was previously. She knew she'd never be as strong as her older brothers but she strived to be quicker and one step ahead. Soon, despite their raw strength, she could dodge, move quicker, react quicker and recover quicker from a set back than most of her brothers. She also became pretty talented with dagger and knife work.
Now, when she was eighteen, like her brothers before her, her father gave her a particular section of their gang to 'be in charge of' and at first her's was Procurer. In charge of the working girls...the whores, prostitutes...this pissed Aria off greatly. Why did she get the shit job? She couldn't put up with the girls she had to deal with. Crackheads...when they cried...when they didn't want to work. She just found it all so depressing and generally boring. And after a bit of a bratty moan and tantrum, she and her older brother Connor, who quite fancied the job anyway, switched.
So Aria was then in charge of collecting debts. Meaning, she'd go to each person that owed the Reddies something and collect what they owed them whether it be in payments or whole...and if they couldn't meet the payments, refused or tried to run? She'd hunt them down and beat them until they paid and if they couldn't pay? She'd take something of equal worth from them. And if they had nothing? She took them to her brothers.
Once though, she accidently went too far with the beating and killed a man. A man who had a picture of his two little girls on the shelf that she wished she never saw and that got to her. She began to care too much and it threw her off her game or a week, until someone shot her in the shoulder (missing her chest). That was a rough wake up. Her brothers hunted the basatard down and ended him (in this case she allowed them to defend her) but from that day on she didn't allow anything to get to her like that again. She locked away her emotions during her job because they distracted her and distraction got you killed.
When the zombie invasion happened, Aria and all her family were all separate and doing their own things but they soon rallied together, well, her and her siblings did. Her parents were killed by the flesh-eating vermin.
As a group, they held down a base fairly well but what they didn't know at the early stage was that Jonah, the sixth born, who had be bitten was about to go through a transition that'd kill him. Leave an empty shell.
None of them knew until Jonah mauled their youngest twin siblings Asher and Elodie and turned them into the same lifeless flesh-hungry beings.
Aria remembers the changes in their faces and how they moved all too well and she also remembered Liam and Cain killing her three younger siblings and then the burning of the bodies...oh yes, that is a memory (and smell) never forget.
The deaths of their younger siblings shook the close siblings entirely and whilst they still mourned, a large hoard of zombies came and managed to worm their way into the house the family had previously secured.
There was so many...too many. So many that her eldest brother Liam, wanting his family to survive...sacrificed himself by luring a large mass of the zombies away from the family and died hacking the bastards down.
Enraged and full of grief the rest of the family killed the remaining zombies and burned the house down to the ground before going to find a new secure place to stay.
When they found a new place, knowing Aria and Tobias could handle themselves, Cain and Connor went to find help but they never returned and thinking the worst, Aria wrote them off as dead. And one night, she went to find a secluded place in their new location and just let it all out. She cried her heart out over the death of her family, cried until her tear ducts dried up and then continued to cry tearlessly that entire night and the next morning she left with Tobias as a re-hardened woman. No more tears. No more mourning or hurting.
For a while, Aria and Tobias managed to kill their fair share of zombies survive well together but after a few months they too were separated by another mob of zombies and Aria found herself alone. Once again, she assumed the worst had happened to Tobias.
It was during those following weeks did Aria develop another layer of cold, hard, emotionless self-being. It was also during these weeks did she carve each of her siblings names into her arms to remind her what she now fought for and it was during these weeks did she develop a need to annihilate every zombie she sees.
She found herself in the Safe Lands not long after, she never really connected with anyone and she didn't want to. She didn't/doesn't currently care about anyone. All she knows from experience is that there is safety in numbers and therefore puts in her hand and help. It also gives her access to weapons, food and stuff that's becoming harder to com across...as well as giving her the opportunity to kill as many zombies as she likes.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:
Aria from another siteee~
As the young Ravenclaw witch walked along the school grounds she could feel the crisp chill of the bitter cold winter morning nipping at her skin. She had lived in England the whole sixteen years of her life so far and yet she still hadn’t got used to how awfully cold it could get some days during winter. Worse still, it had snowed recently and the snow had been consistent and thick enough to stick to the ground and around the well-trodden school grounds that snow had turned to a horrible grey slush and dangerously slippery ice. Aria was trying to stay clear of any of the areas where she saw kids slipping and sliding everywhere and the slushy well-trodden areas- keeping to the snow and the seemingly clear pavement but what she didn’t take into account or notice was the black ice until one of her feet slid forward against the smooth slippery ice. “Oh shit” She was going down “Eeeeeep!” she squeaked as she fell onto the hard, wet, concrete ground on her ass.
She could feel the blush in her face as she sat there for a moment, possibly still slightly in shock and as her mind registered what had just happened her blood began to boil. Seriously?! SERIOUSLY? Why didn't anyone think about gritting the pavement around here? She heard snickering coming from the passer-by’s but when it came to ‘humiliation’ like this; she didn’t give a shit what other’s thought. It could’ve happened to anyone, so…so what if it happened to her? If people thought her pathetic or weak just by slipping on some stupid black ice were absolute idiots and they’d be making one huge fucking mistake if they kept a hold of that belief.
She sighed exasperatedly before finally helping herself off the cold hard ground before patting the snow, ice and mud that clung to the black skinny jeans that covered her ass and despite now having a wet arse that still actually hurt from the fall, publicly humiliating herself and initially being really quite angry over the whole incident…she didn’t know why but she couldn’t help but burst into light-hearted laughter as she shivered from the cold. Fucking winter weather.
