Ariel meets [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] when she is running away from [[Heartless]] with [[Sebastian]] and [[Flounder]]. She helps Sebastian and Flounder teach Sora how to move around in the water, but the lesson is interrupted by more Heartless. Ariel asks for the trio to help them reach the palace. Upon arriving, Ariel's father, [[King Triton]], forbids her from leaving the palace. Ariel decides to help the three find Atlantica's keyhole after hearing Goofy mention it to her father. They journey to the Sunken Ship, where Ariel finds a crystal that resembles her father's [[trident]], which has the power to reveal the Keyhole.

Ariel's fascination with the surface world has grown, and according to her father, Ariel's curiosity in the outside world drew her to her grotto, the place of Atlantica's Keyhole, where she stored her collection of items from the surface world. Unable to forget about the prince, she falls into deep depression, and so Sora and the others decide to help her. When her father finds out that she has fallen in love with a human, he tries to make her forget about him by destroying the statue of him that Flounder gave to her as a gift to cheer her up. However, Ursula reappears and makes a deal with her: to make her human for three days in exchange for her voice. In addition, she must make the prince kiss her willingly before sunset on the third day, otherwise she will become hers forever. Despite the hardship, she signs the contract and finally gets to meet Eric in person, although he does not recognize her at first. | Ariel's fascination with the surface world has grown, and according to her father, Ariel's curiosity in the outside world drew her to her grotto, the place of Atlantica's Keyhole, where she stored her collection of items from the surface world.

On the third day, Ariel gets her voice back with Sora's help, and they all battle the sea witch again. Once Ursula is defeated, Ariel reveals to Eric that she is a mermaid and says goodbye to him, but he does not change his feelings about her. Seeing how much they are in love, King Triton's view of humans changes and he lets his daughter be with a human prince. Later, Ariel is disappointed to learn that Sora, Donald, and Goofy are leaving, but they refuse to say goodbye and assure her in song that they will meet again, to which she happily agrees. | On the third day, Ariel gets her voice back with Sora's help, and they all battle the sea witch again.

Ariel is a slender mermaid with very thin wrists and hourglass figure waist. She has a green tail with paler green, translucent fins and wears a brassiere made out of purple sea shells. She has bright blue eyes and full red lips. Her most defining feature is her long, bright red hair that altogether is almost bigger than her entire body. | Ariel is a slender mermaid with very thin wrists and hourglass figure waist.

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', she is turned into a human for a short time with long slender legs. She is shown in an old sail with some rope keeping it closed when she is first changed into a human. After being taken in by Prince Eric, she wears a dress with light blue sleeves, a black bodice, and blue skirt. She also wears a big blue bow in her hair and black heels. | In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', she is turned into a human for a short time with long slender legs.

She can act rebellious at times and act rashly to get what she wants, which lands her in trouble. She hates being patronized by her father. She doesn't wait for things to happen to her and is strong-willed and proactive about her future. | ||
She is also compassionate and is also protective of her friends, doing anything for their safety, as seen when she stole the Trident in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' to help Flounder. She is one of the rather few main female Disney leads in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series who help out in combat, adding to her brave and proactive nature. | She is also compassionate and is also protective of her friends, doing anything for their safety, as seen when she stole the Trident in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' to help Flounder.

Like Sora and Riku, she has a big sense of adventure, always wanting to find something new even if it is dangerous. She also has feelings of disenchantment and longing when she longs for a new world, be it either the human world above or a new one altogether. This has led her to collect trinkets and objects from the human world in her grotto, as well as making her infatuated with Eric | Like Sora and Riku, she has a big sense of adventure, always wanting to find something new even if it is dangerous.

Ariel can be interpreted as somewhat gullible and naive, twice falling for Ursula's manipulative skills, even in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', which occurs after Ariel finds out of Ursula's deceptive and antagonistic nature. However, one could also interpret this as part of Ariel's compassionate personality, being able to give someone who wronged her another chance. | Ariel can be interpreted as somewhat gullible and naive, twice falling for Ursula's manipulative skills, even in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', which occurs after Ariel finds out of Ursula's deceptive and antagonistic nature.

Ariel [[No Weapon|cannot equip a weapon]] and instead attacks using her tail. Thus, she has very low attack power, implementing magic as her primary form of offense.

Her combat abilities are equally divided between special attacks and defensive skills. The former group includes [[Spiral Wave]], a physical attack, and [[Thunder Potion]], which has the same effect as the [[Thunder]] spell. The latter category contains the [[Cure Potion]] and [[Aero Potion]] skills, which act as the equivalent of [[Cure]] and [[Aero]].
