I do have some response for that actually:
- Before Asterion, Ariadne was the black sheep of the family, too sensitive and frail to play with brothers, and too clumsy and goofy to her sisters. But her parents loved her and noticed how lonely she felt.
- The Cretan Bull (Asterion's father), was a gift from Poseidon for Minos' right to rule, demanding to be sacrificed. Not wanting another child on his hands, Minos gifts the bull to Ariadne as a companion for her loneliness from her siblings.
- The gods are bitter on how a child matters more than the will of a god. Poseidon, knowing turning Minos' beloved daughter into a monster will only send him into a rage towards the gods, he instead targets the secretly straining relationship of Minos and Pasiphae.
-When Pasiphae is cursed with affection towards the bull, he instead blames himself rather than the gods for his actions.
-Still focused on Pasiphae's state, Minos is at first unaware of the dangerous incidents keeps trying to put Ariadne in harm's way, as others blame these accidents on Asterion's clumsiness around her, or just his "cursed" state, Minos slowly realize that its her herself causing this incidents.
-Minos begins to shelter Ariadne away from the outside world, but not Asterion, causing a unrealized jealousy to form inside Ariadne.
-After a incident at a festival, which had put Asterion's life in danger, causes Ariadne to snap at her father, and had calls Asterion a danger to others and himself.
-Pasiphae has secretly been regaining mental fortitude with aide from Athena, and with Athena's manipulation, coerces Minos to make the Labyrinth
-Minos sends Asterion to the labyrinth, Asterion, heartbroken, believes this was the choice of Ariadne, Ariadne doesn't understand, and tries to make Minos stop, but Minos' stands by the words she said to him in the festival .

-Dionysus appears to Theseus after the labyrinth, claiming her hand in marriage, Theseus agrees, revealing he had no feelings towards Ariadne anyway.

-After being abandoned, being left with only the memento of her brother's labrys to protect herself, throws her crown into the ocean in a rage.
-The crown is retrieved by Dionysus who appears in a glamourous entrance
-Dionysus offers her wine, which Ariadne accepts, still bitter over 
-Ariadne vents to Dionysus, and eventually blacks out drunk.
-As Dionysus prepares to take her to Crete to propose the marriage to Minos, Athena appears.
-Extremely pissed that Dionysus has soiled the suffering planned for Ariande, eternal loneliness to parallel how she felt as a child.
-Dionysus wants to marry Ariadne, but Athena refuses.
-Athena concocts a new plan, taking the crown Dionysus had, and draws out a nymph who had been following Dionysus this whole time, Psalacantha, a nymph enamored with him.
-She enchants the crown so when Psalacantha wears it, she assumes Ariadne's form

-During some point, Ariadne wounds herself in the labyrinth, and killing Asterion. She hugs his corpse in grief, and accidentally has some of his blood enter her uncared wound.
-Since the blood was still relatively fresh from Asteiron's death, after drinking so much of the wine Dionysus offered, the blood triggers its regenerative properties, and had begun to transform Ariadne into a minotaur.

-Ariadne eventually wakes up on the island and sees her new minotaur form, and begins to panic.
-Her bovine cries attract a nereid, charmed by her new looks, though Ariadne is oblivious with her current situation.
-The nereid gladly accepts Ariadne's desire to return home to Crete.
-Upon returning, the palace is currently celebrating the marriage between Dionysus and Ariadne-Psalacantha .
-Extremely shocked over Dionysus betrayal.
-As Ariadne explains her case to her father, Psalacantha uses Ariadne's looks to manipulate Minos, on how the danger of the imposter, an into sending Ariadne to the labyrinth.
-Now truly realizing how Asterion felt, struggling with her new form, her contained rage finally boils over, and in a last ditch effort, attacks Psalacantha with the labrys.
-Dionysus swoops in to protect her, and is permanently scarred by the labrys due to the blood of Asterion.
-Ariadne instantly regrets, as she also realizes the difference between Asterion and her is that she couldn't be merciful,  Minos seizes Ariadne and has her sent to the empty labyrinth.

-The skull was a remnant of Asterion's first original body left behind in the labyrinth after Theseus killed him.
-She does take Asterion's place in the labyrinth's torture after wounding Dionysus with the labrys
-The resort owner was a small child back when Jean-Marie ran the hotel, she and her father were forced alongside everyone else by Clement, and eventually returned to the hotel as an adult.
-The woman seeing Asterion's state, is appalled, and wants to do something to help him.
-Even after confronting Argos, he states that without the deed, she can't do squat.
-Though, Argos, does make an offer, if she's so willing to watch over a minotaur, he offers her the ability to become Ariadne's master instead.
-She leaves the hotel with Argos to meet Ariadne, hoping to one day return to save Asterion and to mend the great strain between two siblings.

DUDE that is soo good and i loved it.

*I couldn't help but notice the abscence of the smuggeled beef event since Asterion stated that it was done by his sisters but instead you used her snaping in the festival as the reason why Minos exiled him.

*You have no idea how amazed i was when i saw you include the Labyrs into this, but Ariadne was never a martial artist and the Labyrs is not your average weapon that you can suddenly wield in a moment of rage as stated by Asterion in his chat with the Mc and by Lord Apollo in his vote, wielding the Labyrs (or the Threadcutter as Apollo called it) needs a certain amount of talent and strenght enought to scare even the Olympians so her using it in a fit of rage or as a last resort still has some holes in it.

*About Argos's involvement with the owner of the resort: In the latest chapter we know that Argos (or Nikos) has an immense trust and loyalty towards the Mc so why didn't he tell him about Ariadne's fate first, if he knew it means that Hermes knows too so why didn't he say anything either. I think that the Mc of MinoHotel must be involved in the chosing of the reort's owner somehow since cannonicly he would try and help Ariadne too.

*If the events of this spinoff happen after the Mc gets Asterion's freedom back i think that he will eventually go and meet Ariadne but this might help in solving her past regrets and possibly making the efforts of the MinoResort's Mc not needed. (Just wanted to point it out)*

*Lord Dionysus being hurt by the Labyrs might also be reworked since Asterion stated that the relic was defiled my the foul liquid (according to the wiki the liquid is Asterion't own blood and ichor) and it was even stated during Asterion's trial being one of his accusations so the ichor that was stated to be on it is not Dionysus's its provably someone else's (the Labyrs was ruined while Asterion as alive). And even Asterion wouldn't use it in that state so again Ariadne using the axe just doesn't sit well with me.
