She is a free spirit, who lives by the rhythms of the Earth which means being nomadic and living in a tent as she doesn't believe in being confined by walls, and who believes in the power of spiritual energy. Nick is immediately captivated by her, especially as her holistic healing is able to cure his sprained wrist which the doctor has not been able to do. As time progresses, Nick abandons all else to spend time with her. However, based on a talisman Pat purchases from her which is followed by a series of bad luck, Jack is able to convince both Pat and Graham that Ariel is a witch. Although not going quite that far, Jesse also believes that Ariel is bad news. Beyond specifically Pat and Graham trying to find out more about her in an effort to prove their belief about her to Nick, the shelf-life of a Nick/Ariel relationship may be limited based on Ariel's basic "butterfly" nature despite their mutual feelings for each other which may be described as love.
