Aria wears clothing that is comfortable, but feminine.  Skirts with jackets and sensible shoes in a variety of colors.  Her clothes tend to have pockets where she keeps a PADD or two that she can pull out a book or other work for when she gets bored.

; <span id="Ijo">Ijo Alea</span> : A girlfriend, Bajoran, who had planned to attend Starfleet at the same time as Aria.  During a hike the year before they were scheduled to leave for the academy Alea as crushed under a rockslide during a hike.  Aria's family assumed, or hoped, it would weaken her resolve to join Starfleet but the opposite happened. Aria is still close to Ijo's family.

Alea had planned to go to the academy alongside Aria and unbeknownst to Aria's parents the couple had exchanged betrothal bracelets in the days leading up to Ijo's death.  When her parents pressured to stay on Bajor after the death, Aria realized that her desire to go was stronger than ever.


; Ijo Cada : The mother of [[#Ijo Alea|Ijo Alea]], and someone who had stepped in as sort of a 'surrogate' mother figure to Aria after the death of Ijo.  Aria calls her 'Mother Cada' and is more likely to write her or visit her when thinking of home in a fond way than her own family.

; Cole Melchor : One of the few close friends made during her years at the academy due to her studies.  Cole had never been off Earth before joining the academy.  Theirs was a true friendship despite being different species, world experiences, study disciplines.  He teases her about being stuck in books and engines, she teases him about only pushing buttons.  They stay in touch as often as they can.

People describe her as more likely to be interested in the others around her, some engineering puzzle, or just some challenge recently faced.  She will talk about herself, if people pry, but she is almost always embarrassed to do so.  She is kind and caring, hopeful for the future, and brave even if she doesn't always show it immediately.

When on Bajor she mostly relied on friends to get her 'out of the house', but with the death of [[#Ijo|Ijo]] and going to the academy, she became more reclusive and is just starting to realize she may have spare time again.

An apparent contradiction to her dedication to engineering is her dedication to the prophets of Bajor.  In her quarters, wherever those may be, will be a small table dedicated for prayer to the prophets.  Despite her falling out with her parents and sister she still prays for the prophets to guide them, to watch over them, and for their eventual reconciliation.

Her quarters contain a series of shelves displaying tchotchkes picked up from various places, most worth nothing to most people. She always has a crowded workbench with a project or more started on it.  Currently on the workbench is a model of a Bajoran sailing ship of the type proven by the Emmissary, along with plans to build her own.

Also on prominent display are a Janirian Puzzle box given to her by [[#Ijo|Ijo Alea]] that has only ever been solved by herself, and a Bajoran Prophets' Shrine.
A Spot of prominence is a Janirian Puzzle box given to her by [[#Ijo|Ijo Alea]], never solved by another soul, containing the set of betrothal bracelets exchanged by Aria and Alea.  Alongside the box is a Bajoran Shrine where she regularly prays.
