Generation 2[]
Meet The Ghouls[]
The "guest" tells the "hostess" how glad she is to be at Monster High, and how she met Draculaura, Frankie, Lagoona, Clawdeen and Ari. She says her friends are the best, which devolves into a "no, you're the best" match with herself; until her ruse is revealed, and the camera pans back out. Her final line of the webisode is "Don't look at me like that. Two Cleo's onstage? I could watch that for hours", and she tries to use canned laughter. Instead, she gets the undead moan again. We close out on her struggling with her iCoffin. [Source]
I get a backstage meeting with Ari Hauntington when I knock on the door. Ari meets me, telling me that when she heard I was her biggest fan, she told her manager to give me an exclusive backstage pass. She goes on talking about how she doesn't know where to start, and throws me a hat. Ari tells me that her favorite song is Haunting My Heart. She is holding a scarf of some sort and there is a mirror reflection of her in the mirror that is all a purple smoke figure. She tells me she's not like all the other pop singers out there. Ari's manager calls her out on stage saying there is one minute to showtime and as Ari pulls my hand, she says we have to finish our conversation later after back out onstage, and tells me I can watch the whole show from backstage. She goes through the door and it is revealed that she is a ghost. Ari tells asks if there is no way I didn't see that and I shake my head no. She tells me that she's a ghost and that she's been hiding it all along, and that she has nothing to worry about because her biggest fan wouldn't tell anyone her little secret, which I shake my head no to and she winks. She tells me that someday when the time is right, she's going to float out on the stage like she is right now as the real her. And when she does, she wants me and all of her new ghoulfriends cheering her on in the front row. When she's not out on the road pretending to be human, she is a student at a creeperific new school called Monster High. She says she loves it so much and that everyone is so nice, and that she gets to be ordinary her - she says those ghouls are the only ones that know she's a ghost. And then she says, "Oh, expect for you, of course." She says that means I'm part of "our" as she says, using in her, secret club. The manager calls Ari onto stage, and Ari says "Hey" and that it's showtime. And she says, "And hey, thanks for keeping my secret." She goes through the door again and says she really needs to stop doing that. [Source]
Adventures of the Ghoul Squad[]
Ari recruits Deuce and Raythe to help her with her music video. Unfortunately for the singer, in-between promise and action the duo gets distracted by the topic of volcanoes and insists that the music video features one. Ari has her reservations, especially when she sees the project Deuce and Raythe have made out of it, but they refuse to budge. Ari's hunch proves the better when the two, in their enthusiasm, load up the fake volcano with too much fake lava and cover the whole entrance hall in goo. A better compromise is found when the Ghoul Squad invites the entire school for a celebration on Gil's island, which houses an active but tamed volcano that works well as safe background decor for Ari's music video.

TV specials[]
Ari is first seen in her human form Tash on many posters and pictures around Draculaura's room, then on a billboard while Draculaura is having flying lessons, and as a cardboard cutout during Frankie and Draculaura's run for co-presidents. She's also first seen in person as Tash, when the ghouls try to convince her to perform at the school, and screams for security when she sees they're monsters (to protect her ruse). She is subsequently kidnapped, and the ghouls have to find her. [Welcome to Monster High]
