Two quick thoughts

I think Ari may be my least combat-capable character ever, possibly including the madwoman I played briefly on Compass Rose, who could probably hurt someone if she hit them with a stick.

My father sends me XKCD links.

C. J. Cherryh's Cyteen's main character is a female Ari (short for Ariane). That's actually my first association with the name; I learned about it as a Jewish name rather later.
