Aurelia

Born in Roman Britannia to a merchant father who adores her and a mother who never recovered from a traumatic birth, Elly grows up straddling two worlds.

The refined elegance of her father’s villa shapes her education, while her rebellious spirit draws her to the rougher freedoms of village life. With bright emerald eyes and golden hair that catches light like spun sunshine, she possesses a natural connection to animals and an eternal optimism that lifts the spirits of all around her.

From childhood, Elly displays remarkable courage and intelligence. She masters combat techniques from her father’s guards, befriends village boys through fearless confrontation, and navigates the complexities of Roman society with instinctive grace. Her adventurous heart leads her to explore dangerous rivers, scale rigging like a sailor, and ride horses with reckless abandon.

At nineteen, she experiences a soul connection that transforms her understanding of love itself. When she looks into a stranger’s eyes at the docks, their minds join in profound spiritual union—two souls recognising their eternal bond across the noise of ordinary existence. This moment marks her transition from spirited girl to confident woman, as she sees herself through eyes that perceive her golden aura, her strength, and her worthiness.

Elly’s optimism and wonder breathe life into everyone around her. Her laughter echoes across fairgrounds, her courage drives her to charge into supernatural fog to save her beloved, and her fierce loyalty extends to the polyamorous bond she shares with both Nico and her dearest friend. She possesses an unyielding determination. When faced with losing someone she loves, she refuses to surrender, fighting with every breath to hold onto the connections that define her world.

She’s the heartbeat of their extraordinary partnership, the luminous force that makes immortality meaningful and transforms forever from burden into blessing.
