Extra little bit- His parents were born in sector 13, but banished. His mother was hidden when she was young and never received a mark. When she was older she was caught and banished. His father loved her and tried to fight for her so he was given the same punishment. Due to being raised in such a high strung family and sector, they raised Ari with the same personality. Ari never understood why they wished to return to the thirteenth sector or why they were so stuck up when they obviously rebelled.
