== Overview ==
Aura-Asteria Nightwing with golden scales. Hatched under 2 full moons has weak mind reading (able to hear thought directed at her or from dragons emotionally close to her). She is able to see spirits and communicate with the spirits of dragons who have passed. 
Saught after for her abilities the widely known "angel speaker" often spends time in hiding, avoiding dragons who want to exploit her powers. Her unusual golden scales where once rumoured to show her connection to the spiritual realm.
As a young dragonets she would often play with the spirits she saw and because of this many others thought she was crazy. She often was excluded from playing with the other dragonets. Many dragonets bullied her for her golden scales, calling her name's such as Goldie. 
Aura-Asteria is named as such because her mother wanted to call her Aura, but her father insisted on calling her Asteria. So she was called both.
She never tells dragons her actual name, instead referring to herself as Griffin. The dragons who have heard rumours about her will know her as Griffin (or Griffin the angel-seer). 
Instead of having prophecies or seeing the future. She gets visions of dragons stuck in the mind realm -the realm where dragons spirits who've relatives, friends or partners haven't yet moved on or blame themselves- are stuck. They come to her in visions, speaking through messages, poems and rhymes. It is her job to find the dragon who hasn't moved on and relay a message. Often with the mind realm dragon occupying her body to communicate. Once the dragon moves on she is freed from her quest and the dragon can move on from the mind realm.

Aura's scales range from deep black to light grey. Her base scales are silvery grey in colour, they are dull and don't reflect much light. Her top scales are shiny, deep black in colour and fade to deep black-grey at the tips. Aura is best known for her bright shimmery golden scales along her wings, shoulders and tail. Her horns are a deep black while her spines are a deep golden grey colour.
== Personality ==
Aura is a genuinely happy dragon. She is easy to please and doesn't expect grand gestures or things. She is intelligent and perceptive, usually noticing things around her and connecting dots before most others. She has a calm collected energy and remains even-tempered even when faced with trouble. She is a kind dragon, often sympathizing with others troubles though she has no aversion to fighting those who deserve it. Her personality, abilities and upbringing combined have caused her to often stay in the shadows, keeping away from the gaze of others. She often does not speak both through secrecy and not being completely sure how to communicate with others. 
Aura also often has trouble expressing her emotions and feelings, when trying to tell others she often uses metaphors or describes them as situations, colors or shapes.
== Backstory ==
Aura hatched under two full moons in the on an island near the Night kingdom. Her mother stole her egg away from the hatchery, not wanting it to hatch on the volcano. Her father soon found out however and Aura was forced to move to the volcano. When she was two years old she discovered that many of the dragons she was seeing and would talk to were ghosts and spirits. She became friends with one young dragonet, who she later found out was her older sister.
She spent her younger years on the volcano amongst other youngsters her age. Growing up her father did not have much input in her upbringing. He would hardly ever see her and when he did it was usually to scold her or try and use her powers for benefit of the tribe.She was often left out of games and activities with other dragonets because of her strange abilities and golden scales (which earned her the nickname "Goldie"). She suffered from a lot of teasing and ridiculing, often turning to ghosts as company which only furthered the teasing from other dragonets. One day when she was four years old she discovered the tunnel to the rainwing kingdom. After one particularly hard day she stumbled upon the tunnel. The dragon guarding the tunnel was particularly inattentive and she was able to slip by unnoticed. While exploring the rainforest she came across, Soulseeker and Starsong, twin Nightwing sisters who had grown up in the rainforest. Intrigued by their lives Aura decided to stay with them. Apart from the occasional visit from her mother Aura had little contact with the nightwings from that night on. The news of her abilities however spread as her father and tribe wanted her back. She was forced to remain in the rainforest or travell in secrecy because of this. Many dragons wanted to use her powers for themself and she often had close encounters with dragons with bad intentions.
