Aria Arryn is the daughter of Ella, and Byron Arryn making her a member of House Arryn. Aria has three siblings in Spencer, Byron, and Hanna Arryn of which she has lost the closeness she once had with her sister Spencer, her brother Byron and her were very close and she was as shocked as everyone that Byron was actually a spy of Bill's, and finally Hanna is her best friend in the entire world, and she has always had Hanna in her heart. She engaged in a short term but intense relationship with Joshua Jackson of House Jackson, and she has a son of which the father is Joshua thus making her and her son also a House Jackson.

Aria Arryn was the favorite of her mother, and she watched as her mother constantly treated the others with indeferance and this caused her to grow to hate her mother. Despite this hatred that begin to grow within her for the time before the coming of Hanna she was the perfect daughter never making a peep or saying anything out of line. It also was the original reason she defended Hanna Arryn so strongly, and followed her to Lucerne when the time would come. When Hanna Arryn arrived in her home she was the only one of the girls of the house to actually accept her with open arms, and this acceptance was due to the fact that she didn't have any reason to hate this girl. She and Hanna would grow closer then her mother would like, and this would lead to several arguments where her mother forbid her to talk to Hanna, but each time Aria would reject these demands. After the abuse towards Hanna reached a very high level, and a physical assault took place it was decided to send her to Lucerne, and in a shocking moment Aria decided to accompany her sister to Lucerne. When she arrived there she quickly fell in love with Joshua Jackson of whome was the silent heir to House Jackson and was being protected by Brandon Von Gruger of whome had silently told him of whome he was. This secret was known to only Joshua and was gaurded with the utmost care as Bill Lovie would have him killed if he wasn't careful, but soon after they were together physically he felt so much trust and love for her that. As her parents sent news that her and Hanna's time in Lucerne was over and they needed to return she discovered that she was pregnant with Joshua's child, and she went to see him with the belief that she would hide out with him, and they would be together. After talking she realized that he had so much danger around him that if he was involved with her, then her father would dig up everything on him and this would perhaps lead to him being discovered and then killed. She thus left Lucerne with excuses and despite the fact that she was deeply in love with him she vowed to never reveal herself again to him unless she knew he wouldn't be placed in danger. She gave birth to a healthy baby boy while she was in Berne where she lived through the Civil War in the madness of Berne. During the Civil War in Lucerne she would watch as everything she loved caved around her, and this would end in the final days with the death of her mother, her cousin and many other people that she cared dearly about. Following the Battle of Berne she would care for her son the best she could on her own, and she would become the sort of replacement mother of the family as she took care of all the things that the Matriarch of House Arryn was forced to do before the death of Ella Arryn. With House Arryn expanding westward into the lands of France it was Aria Arryn who ran the Grand State of Berne as her father would commit suicide following the death of Byron Arryn II. during the assault on Orleans by the Lucernians. Now as the Lady of House Arryn
