Re: OOC Thread IV: The Quest for Peace
Here's the IMDB page for Ariadne.
I had, at first, thought about having Ari from a different Earth shadow from Lance and Janessa, but I decided that that wouldn't be as much fun. :)
So here's a brief bio for Ari.
She's been a minor actor in mostly "art house" movies from a small production company that specializes in LGBTQ movies and productions. The exception is her "breakout" role as a member of the all female "squad" for the main villain in the third movie in the "Fast Cars" franchise, which she's reprised a few times.
Her career was just starting to take off, with each role getting more and more attention and quality.

(movie got lukewarm reviews and broke even at the box office, insiders fault multiple studio rewrites and interference.)
Other than the films in the Fast Cars franchise, where Ariadne was a minor character with more fight scenes than lines, all the movies have only been moderately successful art films (or considered so by the viewing public)
Vectortown Rules and Madame Mink, despite good reviews by audiences, were considered late entries into the superhero genre and mostly ignored by critics.
Under Par and The Life and Times were more highly regarded, but not seen by as many people.
