The First Chapter: Ariel – On Human Legs (1/204)

Card 1/204 — voiceless Uncommon who opens the set

Sanitized PSA 10 slab of Ariel – On Human Legs (1/204); certification number and barcodes redacted
PSA Gem Mint 10 · The First Chapter retail 1/204 · identifiers redacted for publish

Collector number 1/204. Amber. Uncommon. Storyborn Hero Princess. Matthew Robert Davies paints the legs; the rules text takes the voice. VOICELESS: this character can’t exert to sing songs. Flavor text is a masterpiece of archival restraint: “…”

Being first in a set list is not the same as being first in history — D23 Expo got there earlier with other faces — but it is a museum quirk worth filing. When English retail The First Chapter hit LGS tables on August 18, 2023, this is the Amber character the checklist starts with.

No Expo stamps. No Enchanted twin for this version. Just pack cardboard and a princess who paid for legs with a keyword that ruins karaoke night.

How it got into collections

Retail The First Chapter English product — not a convention stamp card:

  • Available in The First Chapter packs / sealed product after August 18, 2023 (LGS / organized launch), with broader retail following September 1, 2023
  • Rarity within the 204-card English main set: Uncommon (1/204)
  • Non-foil and cold foil finishes exist for main-set cards; foil alone does not equal Enchanted or Expo
  • Provenance is pack history, carefully kept

Archive note: 1 PSA 10 First Chapter slab appears in the collection carousel under this title. Hero photograph uses a sanitized PSA Gem Mint 10 slab front (identifiers redacted). Never publish cert numbers or barcodes.
