6. Arista (Greek origin), meaning 'best', is the name of the fifth daughter of Queen Athena and King Triton. She is an energetic princess with a by-the-rules personality.

She was known for her love of music and singing talent. King Triton and Athena knew each other since they were little. Unfortunately, she died when they had a run-in with a pirate ship.
