So who is Aria?

[Fake Cat]

She has all this stuff and knowledge. Is she part of the military or what? They never tell you anything about her. Who do you think she is?

Another Architect. She has the ability to grant Chani his stat-modifying powers, and they have set up the train and bunker system to be so advanced as to protect against the apocalypse. It's only the unforeseen variables like the Infected Hacker that foils her.

The problem is that, it was stated that only 1 Architect can be awake at a time.
What do they mean be awake though? Since if Aria, Lux, and Umbra are Architects then how can they all be active at the same time and how does Aria and Lux even work with each other then. I don't think they ever explain this unless I'm forgetting something.

I have two ideas. The first being she is a "child" of Lux (Lux's words not mine), hence why the powers she bestows upon Chani are weaker than the powers of MC and the Girls. Option two is she is some form of physical manifestation of Lux. However that would raises a lot more questions than answers. So I would say most likely she is a child of Lux.

Maybe I missed a piece of info, but my understanding was that the stone lets the architect that controls it force another one to sleep. So if there were more than 2 architects, the others could still be awake. I think the awake ones were just using the stone to keep the "evil" one asleep.

Her and Yohan are friends and she met Lux through him.

That is how she knows about the Architects / was looking for the MC in that shelter / has the train prepped / and has enough Luiix to give Chani a superficial power to keep him from turning but not enough Lux to handle the totem when she was had the opportunity to steal it ... could be that she is also a former employee of the company Sia's mentor worked for, and that is how she originally got involved, but they say nothing about that. It would have been a cool plot twist if she had actually been the unnamed CEO, which is another hanging thread that never got resolved. I half way through the lab, I was anticipating that the CEO was actually Delia, but then in the fight dialog she had no idea who Sia's mentor was before she killed her. And if she actually was the CEO, and just being mean to ♥♥♥♥ with Sai, she wouldn't have had her own access card instead of needing to steal one.

Her character introduction and development was pretty half assed & I for one was confused as ♥♥♥♥ on why she instantly knew about Lux and could explain everything, when her introduction ended at "don't call me Drone Lady."
