A member of the ruling council of Angel One who has secretly married the stranded freighter survivor Ramsey, and whose movements lead Beata's guards to the fugitives' camp.
Ariel is one of the mistresses who sit on the governing council of Angel One under Beata, the Elected One, in the first-season episode Angel One. Outwardly a loyal member of the matriarchal government, she has fallen in love with Ramsey, leader of the survivors of the freighter Odin, and married him in secret.
When the Enterprise arrives looking for the survivors, Beata grows suspicious and has Ariel followed. She leads the guards unwittingly to the hidden camp, and is arrested along with Ramsey and his people.
Sentenced to die with them for spreading ideas of equality between the sexes, she is spared when Riker convinces Beata that executing the dissidents will only make martyrs of them. The group is exiled to a remote region instead.
