Ari grew up working in her dad's Restoration Shop with her Uncle and Dad. Uncle James taught her everything he knew, never letting her think size or gender could stop her from doing what she wanted in life. She used to go hunting for small game like squirrels, and rabbits with her dad. Her uncle continued taking her hunting and to his shooting range, even to self defence classes and teaching her what martial arts he knew when they weren't catching up the shops work. He helped her pay for college, and certifications to get a chance of a fresh start somewhere away from the bad luck of their family.
When he died just after she graduated from college, she had her father and his shop that still needed help before it fell further into financial debt.
