Volume I
Aria first interacts with Leidolf when he's rescuing her while she was under attack, after watching her parents died defending her. She then follows him throughout his journey.

Before the incident began Aria had woken up from her slumber and was getting ready to say goodbye to her father, who was departing for work. Once the barrier went up, she and her parents stayed hidden inside after the crippling effect wore off. Their luck ran out when the Guardian of Fire appeared.

Leidolf first finds Aria, whose parents sacrificed themselves to prolong her life, being cornered by the Guardian of Fire. He managed to restrain it long enough for her to flee and then defeated it. After making graves for her parents, he offered to keep her safe and extended his hand. She grabbed it, and the two departed.

When Leidolf exhausted himself against the familiars and Guardian of Wind, she dragged him back into the safety of the barrier he set up and cradled his head until he woke up. After the Guardian of Earth was defeated by Leidolf using Tyrfing, he took her to his home, where she gazed out of the window at the destruction. She asked him more on his past, and was left behind when he departed to fight Armel.

Aria is last seen welcoming him back at the end of the volume.

Volume II

She received numerous gifts from the others, including a enchanted necklace from Leidolf. When he told her he had a dangerous assignment, she went into a brief depression, and broke down crying. At the end of the volume, she greeted him when he woke up from his second coma.
