Mr. Ariel is part of an insect-like race of aliens Io meets in space. She serves as one of their colony's leader's attendants. Her job is to manage his schedule and take care of the little things and some background work. She's essentially a butler.
Ariel's race works under a caste system. Her "Mr." title stems from the fact she is considered, by her race, to be a third, non-descript gender, since as a worker she cannot breed. But she IS female, despite the name.
She harbors a secret crush on Lord Phobos, the leader of their colony and her boss, though she keeps it to herself, and just works as hard as she can for him, hoping he'll take notice. She is very professional and composed, except in the short moments she has to herself, where she entertains thoughts of lying next to him...
Unfortunately for her, Io shows up, and starts to pry into her private thoughts...
