Aether

Aether is a girl who descended from another world, Celestiele. The world was in a cataclysm 2000 years ago, when monsters of darkness rose upon. Her family got a vision of a boy who could save this world they are living in, thus named her "Aether." But Aether was born a sickly child, and her plague was cursed. Rejected by her own kind, she forced herself to isolate with people around her and wanted to stay with her parents, wanting to make them happy. But Aether's parents hated her, even tried to abandon her. Sadly, her parents passed away because of the darkness cursing Celestiele. She meant to fight alone. She transformed into Cure Hope by her powerful vengeance and bursted off all the monsters, but her plague stopped her from being happy that Celestiele was liberated. "I am weak... useless, meant for nothing." She said. She became antisocial for the rest of her life, only until she met Kirara when she got exiled to Earth, and always follow her around. She tries her best to protect other worlds, but all she gets is suffocation.

**Appearance**

   Although Aether might look like a 12-year old with a height of 142 centimeters (4'6), she is 1800 years old. As a civilian, she has wavy, medium green hair.She also hass a detail of any other Cecilians, being a pair of green horns and white, fluffy ears. Her eyes are emerald green with an oddly looking diamond-shaped pupil, with the plague causing her to have constellation-like marks on her face. She wears a hoodie with sparkly textures, because Kirara said it fits her well.

As Cure Hope however, she got taller somehow, up to 158 centimeters (5'2). Her hairstyle becomes longer and tied on the side. Her sleeves each sides are different, one has a star-like fabric tied to it and the other expands to her knees.

**Personality**

Although seemingly cold and edgy, Aether is actually a thoughtful girl, as she prioritizes others before herself, and would do anything to save them. She prefers privacy and feels uncomfortable if people asks her things. She is seen very powerful too, saving Celestiele all by herself. She is easy to be misunderstood, like the time the gods of Celestiele exiled her because they thought she is behind everything and that the boy in their vision weakened her. She is also known to never smile. She likes private space, but she also wants someone who could understand Aether's sacrifices.

**Attacks**

*Skyward Ballad:* Aether creates a black hole from her palm, pulling the monsters in, then the black hole explodes violently. This is one of the attacks she use for purification.

*Astral tide:* Aether compresses water into a blade, cutting through the opponent, resulting a rainbow-colored tide. She also uses this attack for purification.

*Dandelion Meteoroid:* She throws the opponent along with her into the air, and slashes them with a spear of light. The spear remains on her hand until the battle is over. This is one of her side attacks.

*Milky Way's Hope Finale:* She puts her arm onto the sky, saying some prayers. As she finishes the prayers, she draws a symbol of the constellation Taurus, and a galaxy swirl appears on top of her head. Then, when Aether shouts "Finale", light meteors shoot from the sky, and finishes the opponent. This is her strongest attack that could wipe out the whole population of monsters in Celestiele, heal all people surrounding her, but could also inflict pain for Aether. This is her last purification attack.

*Emeralde Sonnet:* Aether creates a wind shield that, based on the amount of people there are, covers every last one of them. She cannot use Emeralde Sonnet again for some specific time.

*Starlit Arrow:* Aether fires star-shaped water projectiles at the opponent's weakpoint. This side attack may stun the monsters for a while.

*Meteor Humming:* The attack that Kirara taught her in case of trouble. Similar to Kirara's, she could also release lots of stars at the same time. This is also a side attack.

*Galaxy Chorus:* Another attack that Kirara taught her in case of trouble. This, for her, is also a side attack.

*Crab Nebula Humming:* This is a double attack that she performs with Kirara. Kirara inserts the Ginga key to her perfume, while Aether holds her hand tightly. The perfume launches a giant crab which cuts the air, creating dimensions, pulling the opponent in. After that, the crab explodes violently, healing other people around.

*Eclat Espoir:* Another attack she performs with Kirara. They hold each other's hand and Kirara starts to activate her Mode Elegant Ginga. Then, they do the steps just like the original version of Eclat Espoir.

**Aether-Pleaides**

This is a type of awakened form caused by constant Atlantus awakening inside a vessel. The process results to the vessel and the Atlantus merging into one another in a certain period of time, but after seperating and go back to the normal state, the vessel and the Atlantus suffers in constant pain.

In this form, they can manipulate psychic powers easily, even changing the whole landscape of Yumegahama without lifting a single finger.

**Trivia**

Her favorite flower might be the dandelion, as seen on her artpieces.

Aether somehow show hints of mental disorder and anxiety, as the darkness has bring an end towards everything she loves.

Her birthday, March 2nd, is a subtle change from her old birthday, because the author said "No, Taurus won't fit her."
Although possesing the height of a 12-year old, she can still fit in Kirara's bag by using her dimension creation ability. That's how Kirara always bring a bag with her, a bag seemingly bottomless.

Her ears and horn design somewhat resembles the illustration of the constellation Capricorn.

Based off of her actions in AWTRP season 42, her favorite food might be donuts.
