Ara was a former Fifth Nation pirate and later a member of Jasmine Island's protectors during the 3rd century BG. She helped to defend her new home from a major raid by other Fifth Nation pirates.
History
Ara was born into the Fifth Nation, and her early life was difficult due to her pirate parents being neglectful.[2] After coming of age, she joined the ranks of the pirate nation, but she always felt uncomfortable unlike her parents who relished their criminal lifestyle. After the Fall of the Fifth Nation in 296 BG, Ara took the opportunity to abandon the remnants of the pirate coalition. As a refugee, she migrated to the small state of Jasmine Island,[1] where she embraced the local culture and people. Resolving to build a new life for herself in accordance with her true wishes, she joined the local security forces, the "protectors".[2]
Ara's new life truly started when she took part in a formal tea ceremony in an temple at Jasmine Island's coast, where she and four others —Joh, Fu Karaq, Revik, Yarru— had gathered with the protectors' leader Chidaw and an elderly talekeeper named Siarruk. In this ceremony, they officially joined the protectors.[3] Later that day, the five new protectors opted to celebrate their new status together, and took a small fishing boat on a joyride. Eventually, they spotted a large warship approaching Jasmine Island, followed by a smaller vessel. To the group's shock, the large ship was manned by Fifth Nation corsairs under Tagaka, while the smaller ship was attacking them under the leadership of famous Fire National Hei-Ran. After making contact with the latter, Ara and her comrades hurried back to Jasmine Island to warn the locals of the upcoming pirate raid.[4]
The group and the other protectors subsequently fended off a first landing led by a pirate scout force under Erchtei.[4] After this small victory, the protectors tried to coordinate their next action with Hei-Ran's Fire Nationals who revealed that they were seeking to rescue kidnapped inventor Tei Eesoni from the pirates. Together, the local fighters and Hei-Ran worked out a plan to defeat the next pirate attack as well as save Tei.[5] Indeed, Ara and her comrades fought hard in the subsequent battle, even battling Tagaka herself and helping to defeat Erchtei,[6] though both managed to escape.[7] The group also discovered that another protector, Mirlon, had defected to the Fifth Nation and assisted the raid. They confronted the turncoat.[6][8]
Ara and her comrades subsequently helped to decide what the Jasmine Islanders should do with the pirates captured during the failed raid. They also tried to mediate in an unexpected dispute between Hei-Ran and the rescued Tei Eesoni.[9]
Personality
Having suffered considerable hardship in her early years, Ara was a tough yet conflicted person.[1] Regardless of her dark background, she was compassionate, hopeful, and strove to help the disadvantaged. Disappointed by her parents, she sought a new family of her own choosing with whom she could build a better life.[2]

Ara was a skilled fighter using various blades of different cultural backgrounds. She was capable of attacking enemies with quick blows to disorient them. Ara also had some skill as a thief.[2]
