Pre-Game[]

The Barde Manor was the fancy home of Evan Barde and his children, Arianna and Tony. They had several servants, including Beth.

At some point, Arianna met Luke Triton at a party thrown at their manor, and they became friends.

Later, as they became outcasts due to their father's unpopularity, Arianna and Tony met Loosha, a giant sea creature that lived in Misthallery's lake. They frequently played with her by the lakeside, next to the manor. After Evan Barde's death, Arianna and Tony isolated from the rest of Misthallery and permanently lived all by themselves in the manor, with Loosha as their sole friend.

Professor Layton and the Last Specter[]

Professor Layton, along Emmy Altava and Luke Triton, ventured to the manor after hearing about a "calamity witch" living up there and being responsible for the misfortunes of Misthallery. On the way, Luke told them about Arianna. Upon arrival, they were turned away by the gardener, Seamus. Luke was suspicious, as he had heard that all of the servants had been let go following Evan's death. Fearing that Arianna was in danger, they decided to break in the manor.

After successfully reaching Arianna's bedroom, they learnt that Arianna was not in any danger at all. However, she claimed that she was indeed a witch. Luke refused to believe this, but the heroes were caught by Seamus and escorted out. Luke informed Layton and Emmy about Arianna's illness.

After investigating about the witch's Mark in town, Layton returned to the manor to confront Seamus, in reality Tony Barde in disguise, who had been the one to mark people's houses in order to punish people badmouthing Arianna.

Later, after finding out the real identity of the Specter, Layton, Emmy and Luke came back to the Barde Manor, and Arianna decided to open up about her biggest secret: she summoned Loosha in the lake next to the manor, and introduced her to the trio. Layton explained that the damages around in the city were nothing but Loosha fighting off the specter, while Arianna was playing the flute from the manor, the sound echoing through the pipes in town, in order to try and calm her down.
