Hemera the Loved

Hemera the Loved is a halfling baby adopted by Cicero Tiberius Shadolan and Aether during the Awakening. She is currently under Aether's full-time care. 
==In Eon==
The party found Hemera, apparently orphaned, in the ruins of Port Nyasa during the Awakening. She was lying next to a dead body, crying. Leilah Maloch suggested she be euthanized rather than suffer in the post-apocalyptic world. In response, Cicero and Aether adopted her. At first they simply decided to care for her for the time being, but they shortly thereafter decided to formally adopt her and raise her within the party. Ashra said that as CEO she considered this a Very Bad Idea, and that all responsibility for Hemera's safety was on the shoulders of her parents; no party resources would be spent on her. Aether and Cicero accepted this, and said they had various plans for her protection. 
Hemera was apparently with the party when they returned to late 1443 in order to stop the Awakening. This means that there are probably two of her, one that Aether and Cicero adopted and another with her birth parents in Port Nyasa. After the battle with Orcus, Aether decided to take leave from the party and devote herself to raising Hemera full-time. Cicero successfully asked Vecna to watch over Hemera. SECRET BABY.
