Bio: The middle child of the Baxter family's first litter, Ariana soon established a reputation for herself among the household, that of the impulsive and flighty wild child. With enough energy to power the local grid and a markedly short attention span, Ariana was always the first to volunteer for any task or try any new experience. She could always be counted on when assistance or companionship was needed, and her bubbly encouragement could lift the spirits of even the most frustrated sibling or staff member.

She set numerous participation records in school for both elective classes and extracurricular activities, taking every subject and trying out for every sport and club she could find. This did result in less than stellar grades or performance, but for the golden-furred bunny it was the breadth of experiences that made it worthwhile. Ariana brought these same traits with her to college, with the young bunny bouncing from one club or organization to another at rapid speed. She even dabbled with all of the campus sororities, evading the usual disapproval by way of her widespread popularity and friendships.

While at college, Ariana attained the somewhat dubious record of changing her major more times than any other student in the school's history. Despite her earnest study habits, the young bunny simply could not choose and stick with any one particular field of study. From the arts to the sciences, mathematics to nursing, architecture to education, she just had to try them all. It made for quite the interesting education... even if she did burn through frustrated guidance counselors at a rather alarming rate.

Things were soon to change for the young jackrabbit, however. While traveling abroad for one of her gap years, Ariana booked herself a Mediterranean cruise, eager to experience the sights and sounds of the region. About the second week of the vacation, serendipity struck, and Ariana met the love of her life. A beautiful and demure lioness named Naomi Neidhart was also on the cruise, and it wasn't long before sparks flew. Their first meeting was rather rudely interrupted, however, as a gang of pirates invaded the luxury liner to partake in their time-honored past times of looting and larceny. For Ariana, this kind of peril was as commonplace as going with her mom to an expensive dress fitting. Do as you're told, keeps your hands up, don't move a muscle, and give up all your money at the end. But upon seeing the genuine fright from her new companion, Ariana decided to break from routine and defy the crew of crooks, even socking one in the jaw when he tried to push past her and accost the lioness.

Needless to say this did not go over well, and Ariana was about to face some violent retribution when a shocking announcement was made. Naomi was not simply some rich partygoer as the bunny had thought, but in fact a princess and the very target of these barbarous buccaneers! Though certainly bewildered, her affections and protectiveness for the feline were as strong as ever, and Ariana all but forced the pirates to kidnap her along with their royal hostage. What followed was a week long ordeal as the pirates' prisoners and playthings. By the time of their eventual rescue, the two ladies had only grown closer, depending on one another for comfort and safety during their peril. From there, it was only fitting that a whirlwind romance and spur of the moment engagement was to follow. And much to Naomi's delight, Ariana seems quite content to faithfully stick with one lover.

Another of the Baxter sisters, this one from the older litter of siblings!
