Ara

Specialty

Ara is a skilled martial artist that uses a spear. She is a highly versatile character, with extremely long melee attack range, as well as superior attack speed and mobility. Having an air-dash in addition to the double jump, Ara's aerial mobility rivals that of Eve, who is known for having remarkable overall movement freedom. Her range also allows her to catch enemies in her combos from a safe distance, and even hit enemies behind, above, and below her easily. Ara also has a unique trait to her different from others, as she uses "Spirit Energy" which can be used as substitution of MP.

Special Ability

Main Article: Eun
Ara has a special system called Spirit Energy. Ara's Awakening is similar to that of Chung's Freiturnier in that 3 awakening beads will bring on a change in appearance. In Ara's case, she gains the tails of a 9-tailed fox, and white hair.

Background

Ara's three job paths.

Ara Haan was born in town of Fahrmann, in the Xin Empire located in the Northern Fluone continent. Ara's village housed a large shattered El-fragment. This particular fragment radiated powerful moon energy.

Ara is the daughter of the Haan Family, a warrior family that protected the seal of the Nine-Tailed-Fox for generations. At first glance, Ara looks like a kind and polite girl, but because of her family's influence, she is actually a highly skilled martial artist and spear wielder. Her brother, Aren Haan, began his training early and was able to become strong enough to become the Defense Captain of Fahrmann's capital. On one night, the village Ara had lived in had been attacked by an army of demons to take the village's Moon Elstone. Ara tried her best to fight back, but was outnumbered and cornered. In the destruction, Ara fell into a room containing a mysterious altar. A large hairpin that was pinned to the altar was thrown across the floor. Ara is approached by her brother, Aren, who is now Ran, the demon general who had led the invasion. Aren, who had inherited his strong spirit from the moon, had been corrupted and reborn as Ran due to the Dark El contaminating the moon's power. Ran had conquered Fahrmann's capital and led his army to retrieve the village's El-fragment.

As Ran is about to kill Ara, the last survivor, she instinctively protected herself with the hairpin on the floor. The pin unleashed a powerful light and Ara fell unconscious. When she woke, Ara found herself alone in center of the village. The nine tailed fox had possessed her and fought the demons back, but the Moon Elstone had already been taken by them. Ara then hears the spirit's voice, Eun, who had been sealed in the pin for centuries. Eun makes a contract with Ara, she will lend Ara her power and help her find her brother, Aren. In exchange, Ara has to help Eun bring back the Elstone. Ara accepts, and they go on their journey to search for Aren.

The duo arrives to Hamel after hearing of the demon invasion there, but Ara is too late and can only find traces of the demons. She quickly encounters and fights Karis, a Demon general in the Halls of Water. With the help of Eun, Ara was able to fight off Karis and escape. She eventually comes across the ElTeam who mistake her for another demon due to Ara being in her Eun form. After the misunderstanding, Elsword tells Ara that they already had fought the demons and that Ran had escaped from the Water Temple. He offers Ara to travel with him and his team, as they may come across Ran again. Ara agrees, joining in hopes of finding her brother as well as the Moon El to fulfill her contract with Eun.

Trivia

• Eun is based off the Nine-tailed fox, a species of creature depicted in the Shan Hai Jing as having the voice of a human infant. It can be eaten by humans, and those who eat it will be protected from evil.
• Ara is the second character to have a surname after Chung.
• Ara's full name, Ara Haan, was probably based on the term "Arhat" (or "Arahant"), from the Theravada Buddhism, that means: "one who is worthy", "a perfected person who has attained nirvana"
• Ara's brother is Aren Haan, who later becomes Ran, the main antagonist during the events of Hamel.
• Ara's base attack speed is remarkably high, requiring little to no attack speed to perform combos quickly.
• Ara is the only character that does not speak her skill names in English when using skills.
  • This has NOT changed when being released and dubbed in different languages, while, in fact, she says various phrases instead.
• Ara is the first character to have a different color outline or show of motion when attacking (Her outline is yellow, while all the other characters' outlines are blue).
• Unlike the other characters, Ara's design is influenced by Eastern culture and religion.
  • In addition, her job names are written in Chinese in Korean Server.
• Ara's job name, 小侠(Little Xia), means is a person who is young and brave/chivalrous in English.
• Interestingly, her base and 1st class portrays her as having 8 tails in her Celestial Fox form, her 2nd classes portray her having 7, and her in game model seems to have up to 11.
  • However, the number of her in-game Celestial Fox Mode's tails has been fixed upon the release of Ara/Little Hsien in NA.
• Depending on her job path, Ara's motives for fighting the demons drastically differ.
  • In her Sakra Devanam path, Ara fights the demons in the name of justice, to help people.
  • In her Yama Raja path, Ara fights the demons as a means of increasing her fighting ability.
  • In her Asura path, Ara fights the demons to reach Ran faster.
• Ara is the first character to not have her first two jobs released together, instead having Little Hsien and Sakra Devanam be released alone, and having Little Devil and Yama Raja be released together at a much later date.
  • Unlike a tradition with the other characters, Ara Haan only had one of her paths (Little Hsien and Sakra Devanam) released before a new character came, which in this case was Elesis.
    • Also unlike others, she had different artists do her first two class paths, with Sando doing LH/SD and "Slyph" doing LD/YR.
• Before the release of Little Specter, Exorcism 3: Shadow Knot/Shadoweave was a hint of what the secret art of her will be.
• Ara can be very clumsy and often makes mistakes.
• Like Aisha, she's afraid of insects.
• She seems to be bad at dancing.
  • In Chung's item description for Crayon Pop avatar (8/29/13) it says, "Ara! That's not how you dance!" while Ara's avatar description says "T..This dance is too hard. But I won't give up!"
  • This may be a result of clumsiness as one art shows her accidentally hitting Elsword with her spear's pole part.
• Ara wrote the skill note Shadow Spear Technique and True Moonlight Slash.
  • Eun wrote the skill note Enhanced Self-Respect.
