Ariel "Ari"Adne

Ariel, or Ari as her friends call her, is a young girl who was trapped in a landslide following a horrific earthquake. Her screams for help were answered by Thesaurus Rex who aided the girl and her mother. After that, she and the dinosaur became inseparable.

Ari and Thesaurus Rex
After local law enforcement released Thesuarus Rex, Ari convinces him to move into the City Zoo where her father was head zookeeper. She did this as in an effort to see him more often.

Battle of the Zoo
The arrival of Thesaurus Rex caused the bull elephant Tusks to rampage across the zoo. At that time, Ari was outside the Reptile House admiring the tortoises which placed her directly in the elephants path. Thesaurus Rex ran to her aid and distracted the pachyderm long enough doe her father to pull her to safety.
