Personality: She takes her job very seriously, in part because she fears she cannot get a new one. She always tries to repair and not replace. It was this mentality that drove her into the Slave Trader business.

History: She was born to a wealthy landowner in a frontier town, living a normal and happy childhood. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the plains to a summer home near a large cave. She would wander through that large cave and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and she was stranded inside. Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the plains due to the painful memories there. Aura took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up falchion and armor she uses now. She has set out to sabotage the competition.
