Actress and tourist to whom Holly Jones was assigned as a guide. When Holly passed her on to Jeff Hardesty for an outside tour, Jeff apparently developed a crush on her, and to Holly's dismay began spending all his time with her. He persuaded Holly to teach Ariel how to fly, and when Ariel lost control Holly saved her from a possibly fatal crash landing. They parted friends when Ariel returned to Earth.
Site in Luna City, from its name probably a vast cavern.
Jeff Hardesty
A student at Goddard Institute in Luna City, a friend of Holly Jones and her partner in spaceship designing. Though she claimed the relationship was strictly business, she was greatly annoyed by the time and attention he lavished on Ariel Brentwood, an actress and tourist from Earth.

There are strong hints that the two would eventually marry, but Holly still intended to be engineering partners.
