Ariel's childhood was not a happy one. Even though she was born as the eldest daughter of the prestigious Smith family, she had to see her mother pass away at the young age of two.
Ariel's father, Alex Smith, repeatedly cried and fainted in front of his wife's body. Originally, Ariel's mother, Gwen Smith, was sickly. She always suffered from minor illnesses, and the hospital said she would not live long. Nevertheless, Gwen Smith, with a single-minded determination to fulfill her love for her beloved husband, overcame everyone's objections and became pregnant with Ariel.
And when she safely gave birth to Ariel 10 months later, both often felt as if they'd gained the world. However, that happiness didn't last. Gwen Smith's physical condition deteriorated uncontrollably right after giving birth. Even though she spent money on elixirs and hired an excellent priest, her condition continued to worsen without end.
