ariel orson (they/them) is a part-time bartender at the third circle tavern in the depths of hell.
ariel is both a little too confident and a little misguided, with a sharp fongue and beguiling wit.
as a succubus, ariel allures the bar's patrons with seductive overtures (and delectable cocktail recipes.)
ariel, under the surface, finds no fulfillment in seduction as a succubus, but enjoys the attention. they dream for an unobtainable long-term romance. their afterlife in hell derives from a past life on earth, where ariel lived a fulfilling life with a partner they were deeply attached to, but lost.
their only option is to distract themselves from the memories that plague them, and try to find the beauty of romance within a society filled with the lowest of the low. working as a bartender is where they find the most rewarding lifestyle in an otherwise disgusting and vile underworld.
