Squire Aurora of Skyborn
Court of Spires βˆ™ Squire βˆ™ She/Her βˆ™ 12 Moons

Appearance
A slender bengal she-cat with cream coloured fur, seal markings and icy blue eyes

Aurora is on the more slender and lithe side of what one might call an average size for a Squire of her age. Because her stature is small, she is very swift on her paws. Although small, she is mighty - and doesn't appreciate being looked down on for her size. Her fur is a lot lighter than that of her sibling, Rain, a very pale shade of cream that is only a few shades away from being as white as snow. Her bengal rosettes are a light seal, and are darker and more prevalent on her face, legs and tail. Probably the most noticeable part of her appearance is her striking icy blue eyes, which are often narrowed - calculating and cold. Aurora is an objectively beautiful she-cat, but she doesn't enjoy the extra attention that her beauty brings to her - preferring to get down and dirty with tasks.

Personality
+ Bold | +/- Stubborn | - Abrasive

Aurora of Skyborn could best be described with one word: bold. She's confident, courageous, and willing to take calculated risks to get what she wants. She is incredibly direct with her words, not bothering with false niceties. It's a waste of her time, she'd rather cut straight to the point than dance around the subject. She is a bit of a tomboy, not believing that she should be kept away from the troubles of the Realm but rather be fighting straight in the center of them. She couldn't be bothered less with finding a suitable match for herself to extend the family line, more interested in adventure and freedom. She doesn't want to be tied down, she wants to experience everything life has to offer.

She can come off as a bit harsh in the direct words she speaks, her critical way of thinking often a source of frustrations for those around her. It isn't unusual to hear her talking over others, being incredibly impatient, or speaking in heavily sarcastic tones. Despite her small size, her personality is large enough to make others shy away from an argument with her.

If nothing else, though, she is loyal to her bones. If you are her family, or manage to somehow get close enough to her to be a part of her circle - she would go down swinging for you. She is a protector, and would defend those close to her without any hesitations. No questions asked. If you scorn her, however, look out. Her bite is definitely as bad as her bark. Her loyalty is more to those who earn her trust, though.

While she is proud of her namesake and being a Skyborn of the Court, she always wonders what more is out there beyond the castle ruins. A true explorer at heart, Aurora never turns down an opportunity for adventure. She is eager to see more of the Realm, and carve out a slice of glory for herself, beyond her historical family. name.

Plotting, History, & Relations

PLOT INTEGRATION:
Aurora understands her place in a historical family, and while she respects the Sovereign and the Court traditions - she also wonders what else is out there in the Realm. She is more loyal to those who prove themselves to her, and less to a specific group just because that is what she was told to do. She has disdain for outsider groups, but an unquenchable thirst to know more about them. She is extremely loyal to her own family, even if there is a rift between them.

HISTORY:

It wasn’t long into being born into the realm with her siblings Rain, Storm and Puddle that the difficulties and trials of life were thrust upon them. She could barely remember any details about her mother, but the faint scent that reminded her of Blizzard was something she cherished and clung onto, despite the passing of time trying to make her forget it.

The pressure of excellence was something that was placed on Aurora’s small shoulders, nearly from birth. Being born as a Skyborn came with certain expectations - her grandmother and aunt were sure to remind her at every possible instance. She must focus on her career, she must focus on bettering the Court. She must set aside her own wishes and become a Ranger, a protector of the Realm. Defender of the borders. She must do her duty.

While herself, Storm and Puddle chose to become Rangers - her more frail brother, Rain, chose to let his paws take him on the path of becoming a Cleric. She always felt the loss of their mother affected him the most, and she wondered if this was some way to feel as though he was doing something about her death. She often made fun of her brothers, including Rain, but deep down she had a soft spot for him and if anyone - other than herself, of course - were to say a word about him out of line, she would be the first to jump to her paws in his defense.

Things seemed to go well for them into their Squireship. Herself and her brothers seemed to be doing well, at least meeting the high expectations of their extended family members. Things took a sour turn for the worst on the day of a competition between Storm and Puddle. Funny, goofy Puddle. Storm had shoved him a bit too hard, knocking him straight out of a tree and breaking his spine. Rain had tried his best, but the injury was far too severe to save him. This is when it all began to change.

In the present, relationships with her siblings were tense at best. She imagined there was blame towards Storm by Rain for causing the fatality of their brother, and blame towards Rain by Storm for him not being able to save their brother with his healing skills. Aurora knew that it would have been impossible to save him, but she harboured no blame for either brother. It was a freak accident. Perhaps it was even the will of Grace, for something so tragic to befall their family. There must be some meaning behind it… right?

For Aurora, it was easier to push her siblings away and distance herself. She is focused on proving to everyone that she has what it takes to be worthy of the Skyborn name. Something is always whispering to her though… what lies beyond?
