Overall character history:
- The Astins are one of the oldest families of light fairies, said to derive power off the stars in the sky.
- The name 'Aurora' represents the sunrise which the period of time when she was born, and symbolized hope which is what her arrival has come to mean for her parents after that tragic sudden loss of her father's eyesight. The not-so-popular reason why she was given this name was because of the 'Aurora Borealis.' Her parents had apparently ended up putting on quite a spectacular 'lights show' when she was (ahem) conceived.
- She grew up with Eira Cináed, they are best friends and are thick as thieves.
- Her greatest fear is ending up blind, like what happened with her dad.
- Her secret hobby is playing the violin, stimulates her ability and creativity
- Aurora was seven when she was diagnosed with astigmatism so she has prescription eyeglasses but didn't like wearing it. She mainly puts it on when her astigmatism is acting up or when she's doing plenty of reading.
- Later on, at ten, she had her very first episode of ocular migraine and it was completely debilitating and weakening. Aurora described the experience as a explosion of light. Or a kaleidoscope on steroids.
- Has an extremely vivid imagination so horror movies and ghost stories may or may not drive her nuts.
- Favors Human Behaviorisms and Physics since both deals with a huge aspect of light magic that she liked. Human Behaviorisms, beyond helping with her people skills, teach her plenty of tricks in visualization, particularly in fine-tuning 'mirages' and making them more realistic while physics deals with the spectrum which she loved toying with. She usually took inspiration from prism experiments of Isaac Newton.
- Aurora started her studies under a fairy-exclusive school but she found the curriculum so restrictive.
- Transferred to Ravensward a year ago. Rhys Theron was her very first friend who showed her around. They often train with each other and he's a great help in her goal of mastering Illusion.
Light Fairy Power
- Light manipulation is her speciality and she had demonstrated extraordinary skill in it ever since she was a kid (mainly because she loved rainbows and playing with the colors of it).
- Strongest whenever she draws power off starlight (especially the sun, which is the largest star).
- Got no problem with moonlight or firelight but they're not as powerful
- Can see in the dark but case-to-case basis, ability not so consistent
- Through controlling light, she can manipulate shadows and reflections to an extent.
- Illusion is something she wanna master as she can use it to communicate with her now-blind father.
- Her astigmatism messes with her ability to control light sometimes
- Ocular migraine weakens her and it affects her worse than it affects a regular person
