First Appearance

May 2013


Aura is a young girl, appearing to be about 14 years old, if on the small side. She has oddly textured white hair, blue eyes, and skin that's full of tiny freckles. She hails from the Bronx section of New York City, where she lived in a group home for orphans. She completed the 3rd grade in 2013, and first entered The Hotel on May 31, 2013 while hiding from someone in an alley. While wary of adults and anything overly different, she seems to have become friends with Chloe, Rosette, and Kori.

Some people have also seen a black mark on the bottom of one of her left foot; however, no one has been close enough to verify whether it actually is a barcode or not.

She moved into The Hotel on September 10, 2013, although she lied about doing so. After looking at the registry, she explored various empty rooms before choosing one in a mostly uninhabited section of the hotel, and it is the most space she has ever had to herself.

Since someone in October 2016, she has gone through a series physical changes--very subtle when taken one at a time, but more obvious as time goes on. These changes mostly involve the pigment and coloring of her hair, skin, and eyes, but now at times often appears to be older in bearing, although not physically.

Character and Personality

She’s a very modern young girl, a bit fiery and prone to excitability and fierce energy, but doesn’t flake out. When she commits to something, she sees it through—no matter what. She’s quick and light on her feet. She has grown up learning to depend on herself, and this often makes her strive for toughness. Her relationship with adults has been uneven at best, and so she has little liking for them most of the time, preferring the company of other kids and doing what she likes. Both in the home and at school, she's known as a rule breaker and often gets into trouble with the authority figures in her life.

While often dismissive of adults, she trusts other kids, and will go far to protect her friends, even if she's hopelessly outmatched, such as when she first met Kori's mother.

History

Aura was found in New York city as an infant and when her parents were unable to be found, admitted into the state's child care system. Since then, she has been in and out of a number of foster homes, and until 2013 lived in a state home in the Bronx with other children. She attended a public elementary school where she's known to get into trouble, despite being a gifted student.

She met Sammy shortly after his adoptive parents died, and they became good friends shortly after learning they were both "dumpster babies". However, he was in an accident that left him with severe mobility problems as well as brain damage, and she has been his most staunch source of support since then. They have long considered themselves to be sister and brother, due to the lack of other people in their lives.

Sometime in 2013, Sammy was adopted by a very nice couple, and Aura moved into the hotel, disappearing from the state home and her life with no trace. While she occasionally sneaks into Sammy's home to visit him, she now spends most of her time doing as she pleases: playing, working on her abilities, and exploring some of the world's largest cities. She does, however, avoid the authorities, usually at all costs.

Although what all may have happened to her hasn't been revealed, she doesn't like being touched or grabbed, and seems to feel violated when such things happen. Playing with other children, of course, doesn't count. She doesn't trust people with badges or titles.

Abilities

Aura has shown powers over air, although she mostly only uses it in the presence of other children. So far she has shown the ability to dry things, create an air bubble that allows her to breath for a while underwater, and the ability to use it like a powered attack or make a shield with it. She has also stated to Kori that she can fly in two different ways, and shown a pair of white feathered wings. Odd things with air often happen around her when she doesn't feel safe, most often small storm clouds or twisters.
