𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 here and do i have the tea for you . ariana is back on campus , which is surprising considering the threatening note i left them . yes , i know all about how despite outward appearances , her family isn’t as picture perfect as they may seem because of their pride . imagine the tabloids and how the klein family would feel for such information to come out , not to mention the reputation of delta because of their actions . at this rate , she is better off staying put in beverly hills , california and living off that $625m family net worth . what’s the point in studying applied economics and management with plans to take over her mother’s abandoned executive position at her family’s company , is it worth it with what i know ? anyways , they may want to continue to be genteel & cosmopolitan because the disingenuous & acrimonious attributes make me want to spill .

hi angels ! i decided to update ariana’s intro since i was giving christian a mini update , but for the most part , everything is still the same with her ! the only things that have changed majorly is changing her last name from malabanan to klein , a middle name change , and updates to her family’s history in politics . as for everything else , it remains the same , but i knew it was going to be a headache to change in html , which is why i decided to make a new post instead ! now , though , if you click the names of her family members , you’ll be redirected to images of their chosen faceclaims !

daniel klein is the son of political giant nathaniel klein and non - profit founder yvonne klein . nathaniel had been the first in his family to go off to college , and he specifically went off to law school in order to become a politician in order to help those in his town who weren’t as well off as he had been while growing up . nathaniel had only ever wanted to do great things , and when he was only 28 , he was elected as major of his small town in georgia by a landslide over his republican ( 🤢 ) opponent . although there was public support for him to run for a second term , nathaniel had had daniel and his younger sister kimberly , so he decided that it was high time for him to become governor . although nathaniel lost the election , he didn’t let that stop him , and decided that he would run for congress . he campaigned hard and gained a cluster of supporters , and in his 30s , he became a congressman .
a couple of decades passed , and daniel found himself graduating from law school at the prestigious columbia university . he followed in the footsteps of his father , but initially pursued a career in law before officially making the switch to politics . during his time in new york city , daniel meets his future wife , wild child of a multi - billionaire named celeste duvernay . celeste had literally come barreling into his life when daniel went out to celebrate his first job at a famous law office when celeste comes stumbling out of the bathroom with a short veil and tight white dress on , celebrating getting free drinks for pretending that she was having her bachelorette party with her friends .
made up of messy brown curls and the liquid courage of champagne while dancing on tables , celeste was the youngest daughter of a billionaire family that wanted to enjoy her twenties despite the pressure from her parents . she was determined to live her own life , and even though she was getting what she deemed a useless degree in business administration , that didn’t stop celeste from living her life to the fullest . she spent summers on yachts off the tropical island or would splurge in neiman marcus simply because her professor told her one of her papers wasn’t good enough . while she was in college , celeste was a kappa , and it fit the blonde well considering that she was rich , spoiled , and made sure that everyone around her was fully aware that she was getting dropped off at school in a rolls - royce and never ( absolutely refused ) to eat dining hall food .
their relationship was a bit of a whirlwind , and they eventually eloped in a simple wedding on the beach in bali the summer after celeste’s graduation . little did the couple know , is that at the time , celeste was pregnant with their first baby and eldest daughter naomi . celeste decides to be a stay at home mom while daniel moves through the ranks at the prestigious law firm moving from summer associate to senior associate , but daniel knew his ultimate goal was to be congressman . a few more years pass , a second baby named dominic is soon born , the family has made the cross country move to california , and daniel is running for congressman of california .
the family settled into a gorgeous home on sunset boulevard .
after running for congress twice and getting beat by a landslide the first time around , daniel is elected as governor and celeste begrudgingly becomes thrust into the public eye and is under constant scrutiny . the kleins are newcomers to the world of politics in this sense , as they’re no longer skirting around the edges and waiting to have their chance at all the glory . marriage and children had calmed celeste’s wild ways , but when she was twenty - nine and their last daughter , a bright eyed baby they named ariana was brought into the picture , everything changed for the worst .
to naomi and dominic , celese was a wonderful mother . she baked cookies , they hung out by the pool , she helped them with their homework , but as little ariana grew up , she was not the apple of her mother’s eye . the first strike against her was the fact that she was born via c - section due to a complicated pregnancy , leaving her mother with an ugly scar that remains to this day . she was born in knightsbridge while the family was on vacation , actually coming two months before she was due . celeste was annoyed with being stuck in knightsbridge as she waited for her daughter to grow stronger , and that was the second strike against the innocent child . being in the public eye because of her husband’s job made celeste quite conscious of all things appearance , and made sure that she and her children never left the house with a hair out of place or a shirt untucked . naomi , the golden child to her mother , immediately began participating in beauty pageants while dominic followed his calling and focused on academia like the men before him .
little ariana liked to play , and she liked to play hard . she wanted to play soccer in the rain with the other neighborhood kids and roll down grassy hills until her skin was itchy , but her mother ? she wasn’t having any of that . ari was going to be prim , proper – her back would be so straight a ruler would be jealous , and those soccer cleats her father bought her were thrown into the trash and replaced with ballet slippers . for years , ariana was no longer the only klein kid who played with the others in the neighborhood , and she now had a strict schedule of working out , school , ballet , and studying at the tender age of thirteen . when her freshman year starts , though , ariana abandons her mother’s dream and trades the ballet slippers for a pair of cheerleading pom - poms . with her infectious personality and warm smile , it’s no surprise that ariana makes the coveted harvard - westlake cheerleading team .
and while most mothers would be proud of their daughter’s accomplishment , celeste was more focused on her daughter’s appearance than anything else . EATING DISORDER TW BEGINS she limits what she could and couldn’t eat , often making snide remarks when ariana says how much she’s craving her favorite cheeseburger from shake shack or how she had a bit of cheesecake after dinner . celeste wakes her daughter up at five in the morning with a hellish personal trainer that makes her run their expansive neighborhood until her lungs are tight and she’s gasping for air . breakfast is smoothies , lunch is only soup , and even then all the good things that ariana craves have been taken out . she has to be skinny – she has to make her mother proud .
the lack of food during the day leads to binging in the night , tip - toeing to the kitchen with the aid of the housekeeper , who kept a hidden stash in a cabinet her mother never dared to open . binges turn to regret , tear stained cheeks and the horrid sound of ariana hunched over the toilet as she begs to be forgiven for the disappointment she would bring to her mother . it all comes to a head during ariana’s junior year , when she’s gained an ounce of her mother’s affection and dark circles that are hidden beneath luxury concealer , and it’s the annual homecoming football game . dinner consisted of four baby carrots and a bottle of water , and right as ariana is lifted into the air to perform a basket toss , she’s falling – and she lands on the unforgiving ground with a sneer on celeste’s face as she watches behind saint laurent sunglasses .
ariana goes to the hospital and is diagnosed with bulimia , a word that clouds her in a cloak of embarrassment and springs tears in her father’s eyes . celeste is uncaring , picking at her hundred dollar manicure instead of caring for the daughter she allegedly loved so much – at least , that’s what she said when she spoke to the media . ariana is pulled from harvard - westlake , sadly for her senior year , and begins the slow process of healing . her relationship with food becomes healthy again , and she cries when she has cheesecake , her favorite thing in the world , when she returns home . TW ENDS
she makes the decision to head off to college , putting all of her eggs into one basket when she only applies to hollingsworth university . she’s desperate to get from under her mother’s criticizing eye , and to finally be her own person . during freshman year , ariana pledges kappa in hopes that she’d make a dent in her tainted relationship with her mother , but nothing ever seems to work in her favor . she makes it through rush week and becomes a pledge for the society , bouncing on the balls of her feet when she’s chosen on bid day . all goes well until it’s time for a little bit of hazing , but ariana finds herself with the short end of the stick . she has to clean longer , take one more shot , staying awake an extra hour while the other pledges have gone to bed , and being utterly humiliated when her kappa sisters discover that she had an innocent crush on a boy from sigma who had been dating kappa’s vice president at that time .
ariana drops out of kappa and goes the rest of the semester stewing in her upset over the pure humiliation she was forced to endure . when the spring semester rolls around , ariana still carries that torch as she steps into the delta house looking for a fresh start , and it’s the society where she remains today . she’s in the college of business and is also a cheerleader , even though most would assume it harbors too heavy feelings , but her constant work in therapy has helped her regain her love for the sport again .
when it comes to ariana’s personality , she’s something of a spitfire . she’s not afraid of confrontation and she can be extremely petty at times . for her positive traits genteel and cosmopolitan , ariana is respectable when she needs to be ( like attending galas with her family or when she debuted at the debutante ball in new york city ) and since her family traveled as well as met dignitaries around the world a lot thanks to her father’s career , ariana is quite sophisticated and she carries herself as such . as for her negative traits disingenuous and acrimonious , it simply means that she will fake the funk sometimes in order to get something she wants . her disingenuous ways especially shows when she’s being petty , and she’ll pretend to not know the full story to either a . confront the other person with the facts or b . gather up as much information as she possibly can . as for being acrimonious , it means that ari is bitter as hell , especially when talking about kappa .
secret .
when it comes to her secret about her family , the klein’s are similar to the kennedy’s in the sense that they’re the ‘ perfect ’ family with no issues , but only on the surface . in reality , celeste leaves daniel frequently and jets off on exotic excursions with billionaires she just met , attempting to get what she thinks she lost because of marriage and children . dominic , despite holding a high position at his maternal grandfather’s company , has developed a drug addiction he believes no one has noticed . as for naomi , she’s notorious for never marrying any of the women that she’s dated in the past , and also works for their grandfather . despite that , friends and extended family of the kleins always get the perfect holiday cards when the season rolls around and they’re always written as ‘ family goals ’ on instagram and twitter .
short headcanons .
ariana lives off - campus and in a gorgeous apartment .
she drives a black porsche panamera , but originally wanted a cherry red ferrari , and threw a minor fit when her dad said no . he eventually gifted one to her as an early christmas gift .
her style is all over the place . one day she’ll be wearing all black with a leather jacket , another day she’s dressed like a carbon copy of outfits on pinterest , and on another she’s wearing high heels and a midi - skirt . there’s no in between for her , but you better believe that everything is designer , even down to her hair accessories .
she’s most comfortable in her home , and there’s a chance that when she’s home she’s blaring music . she’ll be in a giant shirt with her hair tugged up in a top knot .
her favorite food is a shackburger with cheese fries and a creamsicle float . she is absolutely obsessed with cheesecake in any and all forms .
