## Appearance

Aurora is a blackish-brown lioness with a large black mane with a single white streak. She has lighter markings on her face and cheeks along with spots on her face and nose ridge. Her ears are dark with a lighter color inside. Under her belly are paler and her paws are partially pale. On her legs, she still has a bit of her baby spots which ends up staying with her permanently into adulthood. Aurora has scars on her face, shoulder, leg, and flank. Lastly, she has teal eyes.

## Personality

Aurora is a gentle Traveller who sees that no place should be owned by one lion and their pride. She wants everyone to live equally, see that there's no need for everyone to be divided, but understands that it's the way of life. She's kind and respectful to others as she follows the little saying "Treat others like how you want them to treat you" which she was taught by her mother. When she and Sunny join together and create a band near his birth home, she's relieved to no longer have to move around so much.

When she meets Fierce, the two immediately begin to bond with Aurora hesitating to court her when she starts developing feelings for her, but understands that Fierce is in a toxic environment and doesn't want to leave. Aurora becomes a protective lioness, refusing to let anyone be harmed in her band when Careful, who renames herself as Loess, asks to join their band after deciding to finally leave Jasper and her pride out of fear and later births Daybreak in the band which Aurora promises, with Sunny, to protect both Loess and her newborn cub.

On the positive side, she's a jokester and tries to bring a smile when someone needs it, but she will not hesitate to get defensive if she learns the reasoning behind someone's sadness, such as Fierce becoming depressed when Stoic and Loess leave the Golden Grove or when she gets into a fight with either of her parents. Whether or not they're two different lions from two different groups, Aurora will stand up for her friends and found family.
