Simon/Ava Montjoy
Arabella and Simon/Ava used to be engaged. Their families were close and they had known each other since they were children. However, they did not get together until university. They became engaged but after Simon/Ava discovered that Arabella cheated on him/her, the engagement was called off. Arabella broke Simon/Ava's heart because he/she actually loved and adored her. Arabella tried to reason with Simon/Ava, saying that she didn't think he/she would be upset about something so "pedestrian" as an affair and that it was inconsequential, but Simon/Ava was livid that Arabella could do such a thing.

In Chapter 12, after your disgrace at the charity gala, she appears on the talk show SkyBuzz to tell viewers that she and Simon/Ava are engaged again. She had hoped that Gerald Montjoy would forgive her indiscretions and chalk them up to youth transgressions like he had experienced in his younger days. Simon/Ava tells her to recant her statement and she agrees to for Gerald and Mitzi's sakes if you did not challenge her to an archery contest, or for Simon/Ava and your sakes if you did.

Your Character
In Chapter 2, Nigel Brookes gives you her phone number since they share mutual friends. When you call her, she demands to know who you are. If you mention Nigel gave you her number, she trusts he wouldn't have given it to a crazy person. She tells you that she doesn't mind talking to you because she's curious how you're dealing with the Montjoys but you have to meet her at a spa, which you can agree or decline. If you agree, she tells you that she finds their secret keeping to be rather archaic. You have the feeling that Arabella still has feelings for Simon/Ava.

Although you are technically her competition for Simon/Ava's feelings, you can gain her respect as an ally in Chapter 11.
