Biography
Early Years
Not much is known about Ariadne's past. The little bits of knowledge which have survived indicate that she used to served the Clergy of Mardük in Vulpengaard Keep in Yamato. She was so effective and deadly that she became known as the Dark Lady of Vulpengaard.
When forces led by Jemuel assaulted the keep during the Great War, Ariadne and vast amounts of the clergy's knowledge went missing. The last time she was seen in Yamato was when she was accompanying a dark cleric named Richelieu. It was rumoured that she had been abducted or that she had joined Richelieu willingly after Mardük's demise and helped him sack Vulpengaard Keep so that the knowledge of the clergy would not be lost in the chaotic aftermath of the Cataclysm.
What few knew was that Richelieu had taken Ariadne and many other candidates to his tower in Alent where he performed various tests on them to product something the world hadn't seen in a long while: Chaos Knights. This included rigorous training sessions and total isolation from the outside world. Richelieu's harsh training lasted for years, and he made Ariadne the leader of the five surviving knight candidates.
During this time Ariadne bonded with her four comrades and also gradually learned about Richelieu thanks to the knowledge she had gained from Vulpengaard's archives. She became one of the few people to know Richelieu's past and true name, and the two grew closer.

Richelieu
At first Ariadne and Richelieu had a strictly platonic relationship as they learned from each other. However, they grew closer over time and began spending more intimate times together. Although Ariadne sees Richelieu as a trustworthy companion, Richelieu himself is more reluctant about this as he's still troubled by his dark past.
