'''Ariana''' (Japanese: '''アテナ''' ''Athena'') is one of the four [[Team Rocket]] [[Rocket Executive|Executives]] introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. Her name wasn't revealed until {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
'''Ariana''' (Japanese: '''アテナ''' ''Athena'') is one of the [[Team Rocket]] {{tc|Executive}}s introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. She was not given an official name until {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.


==In the games==
==In the core series games==
At first, Ariana seems to appear in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} as an unnamed female [[Team Rocket Admin]] in the [[Rocket Warehouse]] on [[Five Island]]. After the player defeats her, she seems to understand their motivations for opposing Team Rocket and flips a switch to redirect the [[spinner]]s nearby to give the player easier access back from the warehouse entrance.
An unnamed female {{tc|Executive|Team Rocket Admin}} who may be Ariana appears in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} in the [[Rocket Warehouse]] on [[Five Island]]. After the player defeats her, she seems to understand their motivations for opposing Team Rocket and flips a switch to redirect the [[spin tile]]s nearby to give the player easier access back from the warehouse entrance.


[[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Three years later]], Ariana is the only female [[Rocket Executive]] in the reborn [[Team Rocket]] in [[Johto]]. She appears to be [[Archer]]'s second-in-command, although upon first challenging the player, she calls herself the interim boss of Team Rocket in place of Giovanni. The player battles her twice, first in the [[Team Rocket HQ]], in a double battle with a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt}} on her side and [[Lance]] on the player's side (in [[Generation II]], the player battles her alone), and again in the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], where she is the last challenge before [[Archer]]. When defeated in the Team Rocket HQ, she notes that the player is strong enough to become an Executive if they joined Team Rocket, and after being beaten in the Radio Tower admits that she admires the player's power.

Like the other Executives, Ariana was given a major overhaul in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Her identity was expanded on, her color scheme was noticeably changed, and her hair was restyled.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Sham}}
[[File:Sham.png|thumb|left|120px|Sham in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Ariana Adventures.png|thumb|220px|Ariana in Pokémon Adventures]]
Ariana's first counterpart was based on her [[Generation II]] design and named [[Sham]]. She appeared in the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}.
 
After the creation of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a second counterpart with Ariana's new official name and design appears alongside the other three Executives. Ariana and her teammates take control of Team Rocket from [[Carr]], saying that they will stay true to {{adv|Giovanni}}'s intentions.
 
Ariana later ambushes {{adv|Silver}} and {{adv|Crystal}} to prevent them from intruding and interrupting their plans. Using her Pokémon, she manages to pin Silver to a tree while she faces Crystal alone. Despite the type advantage Crystal's Pokémon have, she is easily defeated by Ariana's powerful team. However, using his {{TP|Blue|Rhyperior}} and the Earth Plate he obtained from Petrel, Silver manages to save Crystal and send Ariana and her Pokémon flying.


===Quotes===
Now facing Crystal alone, Ariana finishes off her Pokémon and explains her and her teammate's roles in capturing the legendary Pokémon {{adv|Arceus}}. Suddenly, Arceus appears in front of them and Crystal attempts to capture it, shocking the Executives in the process. Despite her tenacity, Crystal ultimately fails in capturing the Pokémon and is sent flying into a tree.
===={{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}====
'''Team Rocket HQ'''
:''"Hold it right there!"''


:''"We can't let a brat like you do as you please forever. It'll hurt Team Rocket's pride over and over again. Making it lessen, you see. ...So, it's time to finish you. However strong you may be, if the two of us fight at the same time, you'll have no chance of winning. Don't you agree? Hee hee hee! Sorry, baby. Now, get ready to be thrashed."''
The Executives chase Arceus down and find it battling {{adv|Gold}} at the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Once Arceus takes them to the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], the four Executives restrain Arceus and force it onto the Mystri Stage. Using its great powers, they force Arceus to create the legendary Pokémon {{DL|Pokémon of Myth (Adventures)|Dialga}}, {{DL|Pokémon of Myth (Adventures)|Palkia}}, and {{DL|Pokémon of Myth (Adventures)|Giratina}}.


:''"What? You had an accomplice? Where is your sense of dignity? As interim boss in the place of Giovanni, I'll show you how wrong it is to meddle with Team Rocket!"''
Believing they have pleased their boss, Giovanni, Ariana, Proton, and Archer begin tearing up. However, Silver distracts them by flying towards the Pokémon so Gold and Crystal can finish off the other legendary Pokémon. Once they do so, Arceus, now freed from its restraints, uses its powers to send Ariana and the other Executives flying. During the final battle with Arceus, Ariana stayed away from the fight by hiding behind a rock with her teammates. After the battle had ended, Ariana left with the other Team Rocket members and {{adv|Giovanni}}.

<!--Do not add the fan speculation of Ariana being Silver's mom. Next user who does it is blocked.-->
* As she is the only female Executive in the Johto's Team Rocket, she could be easily adapted from her [[Generation II]] design in [[Generation IV]]. In this respect, she is the female counterpart of [[Archer]], who was based on the original male Executive. However, [[Proton]] and [[Petrel]], originally using the same sprite as Archer, had to be designed from scratch.

* [[Chermaine]] from [[Pokémon Adventures]] is based on Ariana's original [[Generation II]] design, and is named differently because of the lack of names for the executives at the time. This makes her Ariana's [[cross-canon counterpart]].
* The Murkrow which mimics [[Petrel]]'s voice could possibly be Ariana's Murkrow, as it runs offscreen in her direction after unlocking the door.
** However, the Murkrow does not leave the office in [[Generation II]], so this cannot be the case in the [[Generation II]] games.
