Aerith via Sinclair

Aerith of Aurora is a Royal Engineer of Aurora, and currently resides in Heart’s Bay, The Jewel of Aurora. She is a Talawan Elf of the Erateti line. Many of her buildings can be found all around Aurora, and include Winterstone, Alastair’s Arena, and Heart’s Bay.
==Emergence from Selkrauvarr==
Aerith was sheltered in the deep dark catacombs of the Selkrauvarr settlement, cloistered away from the outside world. She only emerged once her parents passed away, at the age of 93. The very first person she met was (the former) Emperor Aurelian of Aurora. As she lived there, she converted to Pavlovism, took ownership of her own land, and continued the last name “via Sinclair” along with her close relatives.
====The Erateti Line====
The Erateti Line was an offshoot of Talawans. When in the previous world, a specific group of Talawans rebelled against their deity. They were indefinitely cursed with a withering sickness, and only the defeat of the Dragon Alastair would free them. They could never figure out how to summon him to kill him. If Alastair dies, the Erateti would be forever freed from their curse.
====The Will to Live====
After her father passed away, she sunk into deep depression as she finally learned the truth of her existence-- that she would be short-lived. Her struggle to find the solution to this curse caused her to throw herself into her work, and eventually collapse in exhaustion in public. Her secret that she had kept, out of fear of burdening her friends, was forcefully revealed that day.
Aerith and some close friends journeyed to far-away places to ask religious leaders and knowledgeable people about a possible cure to her curse. She ventured to Varmerion, the capital of Escharia, to speak with someone, where she was told to search within her history on how to summon Alastair. She then ventured to Vraelea, and met with Viz Ithrilvar (darkwizard07), who allowed her access to the Vraelean Library, where she found a tome from her homeland in Selkrauvarr that revealed the location of the secret library within.
====The Defeat of Alastair====
As she found the library of Ancient Talawan history within the underground city, she was able to summon the deadly dragon through a chant, and permanently end it’s life with the legendary weapon of the Erateti line, The Bloodbane Hammer. Then, suddenly, the demigod himself appeared within the walls of Fornost, and the Order of the Aurora was tasked with fighting Alastair and his spirits, who wished to claim Aerith’s life, as she was in her final moments.
She would have been laid to rest within the keep of Fornost, but thankfully, the Order was successful in their defeat, as Empress Nikephoros would get the last strike at the dragon, and deliver the blood of Alastair to Aerith’s bedside to finally heal her of this curse of withering. Since then, she has enjoyed the gift of long life, as her death was postponed for another day.
==Royal Engineer of Aurora==
Like those in her line, Aerith possessed architectural creativity and was considered a prodigy for her skill. She quickly ascended the ranks in government and formed the Auroran Engineers, a build team dedicated to developing the infrastructure of Aurora, and a contractual team that can be hired out to design and build grand cities for Auroran Allies.
====The Task of Winterstone====
Winterstone, her very first project and the test of her will. The deep, dark, catacombs she hollowed out seemed to teem with life… There was a ghost inhabiting the depths of Winterstone Mountain. The luxurious interior and safeguarded exterior would prove to be a suitable base of operations for the Order of the Aurora, and by extent, the Uldarashi Military.
====Heart’s Bay====
As Aerith received her own land once she ascended to nobility, she decided to repurpose it into a small resort town on the Heart of Haven. When she once visited the remains of the great city of Lileanen, she studied the architecture and rebuilt it in a slightly altered style, which are now the houses of Heart’s Bay.
====Alastair’s Arena====
The largest arena in Rathnir, created as a memorial to all the Erateti lost to the Curse. The centerpiece of the arena is the black dragon Alastair, bane of the Erateti, who continuously guards the lost souls of Erateti to keep them from passing into the afterlife. The floor is representative of the trapped souls, never to be released.
==Personal Life==
====The via Sinclair Noble House====
Aerith’s long-lost half-sister through her mother, Louella, returned to her homeland in Fornost, and reunited with her sister that she hadn’t seen for over a hundred years. The two decided to go searching for others who were blood-related to them, and happened upon Texas, who unknowingly was a distant cousin of Aerith, through her mother’s brother. Peachy, as well, was a Talawan relative of Aerith’s, through her mother’s sister, who is since deceased.
====The High Court of Uldarash====
Aerith was the High Judge of the Imperial Court of Uldarash. She was nominated by the former Empress Caterina of Uldarash, and confirmed by the High Council of Uldarash, on September 28, 2021. She has since presided over a few cases dealing in treason, including the trial of Miningboy_12 and JackFKennedy during the Kennedy Conspiracy, and hoped to develop the judicial system into a branch of the government worthy of respect and reverence. She has since retired from the position. She would later admit to being forced to exile them.
====The Journey to Vraelea====
During a camping trip in Sparwood and Nieden that Aerith took with Aurelian (Canine14), the couple ventured to the now-destroyed Crystal Forest, Vraelea, the Red Ice Spikes, Gentumar Fortress, and the lost city of Lileanen. When in Vraelea, Aerith was intrigued by their otherworldly, geometric architecture, and signed on to be one of the main builders for the new Grand Library of Vraelea. Through this avenue, she would gain citizenship within Vraelea. Ever since returning to Aurora, though, she has been plagued with splitting headaches, and become weaker by the day.
Her collapse at the masquerade ball for Hallow’s Eve brought her to rush back to Vraelea, to see what the root of her health issue was.
The Emergence of Magic
After the masquerade ball, Aerith finally collapsed from the pain of her headaches, her shadow magic manifesting with it. She now travels Rathnir, seeking the root of her power, to fully understand where it comes from.
==== Marriage to Aurelian of Aurora ====
Aerith and Aurelian had been friends for a long time, since he was the first person outside of Selkrauvarr that Aerith met. Slowly but surely, the two fell in love. Aurelian proposed to Aerith on December 1st, 2021, and the two were married on December 11th, 2021, only 10 days later. Aerith took on the last name of House Aurora, and passed down her noble title to Louella via Sinclair, her half-sister.
